What problem does the canard solve?
Losing energy. I'm not an expert but I think the issue with delta wing is losing speed and lift during maneuvering. Canards increase maneuverability due to additional control surfaces and also increase lift due to being another lifting body. In addition, wasn't it that tailed deltas do not suffer from the same problem energy loss problem during maneuver as tail less deltas?
