In Afghanistan, two CP-140s were conducting overland surveillance missions against ISIS as part of Operation Impact.
I'm not sure if these missions fit your definition.  |
They do and my post was meant as a (poor) joke. Canada is part of the group of five countries (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK, USA; known as "five eyes") that engage in close sharing of intelligence across a broad spectrum of intelligence activities and they pull their weight. To my knowledge, Canada has never had a dedicated SIGINT collection aircraft, but the CP-140 served well.
