NEW DEADLINE EXTENTION: IDEaS fifth Call for Proposals for six Competitive Projects challenges closes October 5, 2021

The deadline to apply for the CFP5 challenges has been extended to Tuesday, October 5, 2021.
The Department of National Defence (DND) is hoping for more applications to help find the best technology to solve its newest challenges covering a wide scope of DND/CAF needs from real-time surveillance, rotary blade maintenance, antennas, and greenhouse gas reduction:

• Worth a thousand sources: A fused picture for continental surveillance
• We Sea You: Digital tracking and accounting on navy vessels
• Erosion from Motion: Reducing wear and tear on rotary blades
• Wireless is where it's at: Secure and Seamless Wireless Network Onboard Ships
• High Bandwidth, Low Profile: Next generation point-to-point communication solutions for the field
• Less GHGs on the Seas: Practical solutions to measure and record energy consumption

NOUVELLE DATE LIMITE PROLONGÉE : Le cinquième appel de propositions IDEeS pour les six défis de projets compétitifs prend fin le 5 octobre 2021

La date limite pour postuler aux défis ADP5 a été prolongée au mardi 5 octobre 2021.
Le ministère de la Défense nationale (MDN) espère recevoir un plus grand nombre de soumissions afin de trouver la meilleure technologie pour résoudre ses nouveaux défis couvrant un large éventail de besoins du MDN/FAC de la surveillance en temps réel, l'entretien des pales rotatives, les antennes et la réduction des gaz à effet de serre :

• Une image vaut mille sources: image fusionnée pour la surveillance continentale
• On vous voit: Suivi et comptabilité numérique sur les navires de la marine
• Érosion due au mouvement: Réduire l'usure des pales de la voilure tournante
• Le sans-fil est là où il se trouve: Réseau sans fil sécurisé et transparent à bord des navires
• Large bande passante, courte portée: Solutions de communication point à point de nouvelle génération pour le terrain
• Moins de GES en mer: des solutions pratiques pour mesurer et enregistrer la consommation d'énergie

  • Industry representatives meet with Canadian Army staff on clothing, equipment modernization

    Industry representatives meet with Canadian Army staff on clothing, equipment modernization

    DAVID PUGLIESE, OTTAWA CITIZEN Industry representatives met with Canadian Army procurement staff on Wednesday to get a better sense of where the land force is going with the re-equipment of its soldiers. The industry day took place in Gatineau and was focused on the Soldier Operational Clothing and Equipment Modernization or SOCEM project. “The SOCEM Initiative is an integrated approach to procurement,” Lt.-Col. Ray Corby, from the Army's Directorate of Land Requirements, said in a statement. “With it, we are replacing many clothing and equipment items in a single, coordinated effort rather than running many individual projects for separate equipment items.” Through SOCEM, the Canadian Army wants to use technological advances made by industry and consult with companies in advance of a procurement being officially launched. Corby said such a process will help the Army better understand how industry can meet its needs as well as inform Army procurement staff about the expertise residing with the civilian firms. As part of SOCEM, the Canadian Army is considering a newly-designed uniform pattern that may better reflect the current operational environment. Last fall, more 600 soldiers at Petawawa were involved in testing what could be the new camouflage uniform pattern. It is being considered as a possible replacement for both the current arid (tan) and temperate woodland (green) camouflage used by the Canadian Forces. The prototype pattern, developed by Canadian defence scientists, was predominately brown, with some green and black. The addition of more brown in the pattern “reflects the desire to bring it more into the middle of the spectrum and is not necessarily tied to a specific operating environment,” Corby explained in an interview last year with Defence Watch. The current Canadian Disruptive Pattern, or CADPAT, has been in use since the early 2000s. The computer-generated pattern is highly regarded among camouflage designers. But Corby noted, “It's definitely time for a refresh.” Industry representatives who attended the meeting in Gatineau on Wednesday were also told that SOCEM could also involve various pieces of cold and wet weather clothing, such as ballistic cold weather goggles and hybrid combat shirts. The Canadian Army is also looking at new hearing protection and other equipment with the potential to prevent injuries and improve operational communications. https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/industry-representatives-meet-with-canadian-army-staff-on-clothing-equipment-modernization

    Canadian special forces vehicle purchase faces more delays

    A request for bids had been expected to be issued by the end of 2022, but National Defence confirms that won’t be happening.

    Achat de F-35 | Le Canada aura finalement évité les problèmes de rodage, selon un ex-pilote

    Un ancien pilote d’essai de F-35 croit que le Canada aura probablement bénéficié de sa décision de ne pas acheter ce nouveau chasseur furtif il y a plus de dix ans. Mais il estime maintenant qu’Ottawa devait mettre fin à ses tergiversations et opter rapidement pour cet avion de chasse américain.
