  Innovators are moving forward for the Green Heat and Corrosion Detection challenges//Les innovateurs vont de l'avant pour les défis portant sur l’Énergie verte et la Détection de la corrosion à bord des navires

  Green Heat Update: a 477K contract has been awarded! The IDEaS program, in collaboration with Defence Construction Canada (DCC), is thrilled to announce that a contract for the Green Heat Test Drive has been awarded to Black & McDonald. Their creative energy solution will be paired up with existing heating systems to help lower our carbon footprint through a large-scale, low carbon energy generation/transfer system. A test building has been selected in Kingston, Ontario, where the team will begin the design phase. Visit the challenge page to find out more about IDEaS' contribution to the greening of Defence. The Corrosion Detection Sandbox has selected its participants! The Corrosion Detection in Ships Sandbox (CDIS), previously postponed due to COVID-19 restrictions, resumed its call in December 2021. The following nine participants have been selected to travel to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, to demonstrate their innovative solutions at the Center for Ocean Ventures & Entrepreneurship (COVE) facility from April 25 to May 20, 2022. Allied Scientific Pro Canadian Nuclear Labs CMQ Centre de Métallurgie Crawford Technologies Eddyfi Technologies #3, Floormap X InspecTerra MLVX Technologies Inc Qii.AI Visiooimage Inc. They will each have up to five days to test their solutions in real time alongside Department of National Defence/Canadian Armed Forces experts and potential users. The goal of this Sandbox is to demonstrate how we can better detect and assess corrosion behind surface coatings onboard Royal Canadian Navy platforms in order to reduce operational impact and improve the effectiveness of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. Join us in wishing our participants good luck! For more information, visit the CDIS challenge page. The IDEaS Team Mise à jour Énergie Verte : un contrat de 477K a été remporté ! Le programme IDEeS, en collaboration avec Construction de défense Canada (CDC), est ravi d'annoncer que le contrat pour le Banc d'essai Énergie Verte a été remporté par Black & McDonald. Leur solution créative en matière d'énergie sera combinée à un système de chauffage existant afin de réduire notre empreinte carbone gr'ce à un système de production/transfert d'énergie à grande échelle et à faible teneur en carbone. Un b'timent pilote a été sélectionné à Kingston, en Ontario, où l'équipe débutera la phase design. Visitez la page du défi pour en savoir plus sur la contribution d'IDEeS à l'écologisation de la Défense. Les participants pour l'Environnement protégé Détection de la corrosion à bord des navires ont été sélectionnés! L'Environnement protégé Détection de la corrosion à bord des navires, précédemment reporté en raison des restrictions reliées à la COVID-19, a relancé son appel de propositions en décembre 2021. Les neuf participants suivants ont été sélectionnés pour se rendre à Dartmouth, en Nouvelle-Écosse, pour présenter leurs solutions innovantes au Center for Ocean Ventures & Entrepreneurship Facility (COVE) du 25 avril au 20 mai 2022. Allied Scientific Pro Canadian Nuclear Labs CMQ Centre de Métallurgie Crawford Technologies Eddyfi Technologies #3, Floormap X InspecTerra MLVX Technologies Inc Qii.AI Visiooimage Inc. Ils auront chacun jusqu'à cinq jours pour tester leurs solutions en temps réel aux côtés d'experts du ministère de la Défense nationale/des Forces armées canadiennes et d'utilisateurs potentiels. L'objectif de cet Environnement protégé est de démontrer comment nous pouvons mieux détecter et évaluer la corrosion derrière les revêtements de surface à bord des plates-formes de la Marine royale canadienne afin de réduire l'impact opérationnel et d'améliorer l'efficacité de la maintenance planifiée et non planifiée. Joignez-vous à nous pour souhaiter bonne chance à nos participants! Pour plus d'informations, rendez-vous sur la page du défi Détection de la corrosion à bord des navires. L'équipe IDEeS

  Saab receives Carl-Gustaf order from U.S. Army

  July 16, 2020 - Saab has received an order for Carl-Gustaf® ammunition and AT4 systems from the U.S. Army. The order value is approximately USD 100 million (930 MSEK) and deliveries will take place in 2021. The order was placed within an indefinite delivery and quantity agreement signed in 2019, enabling the customer to place orders for Carl-Gustaf ammunition and AT4 systems during a five-year period to a value of up to USD 445 million. The AT4 systems and the Carl-Gustaf munitions in this order will be operated by the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, and Special Forces Command. “The Saab family of shoulder-fired munitions provides the U.S. Armed Forces with effective capabilities against a wide area of targets. With these systems, soldiers and Marines gain reliable, easy-to-use technology optimized for complex environments and engagements,” says Erik Smith, President and CEO of Saab in the U.S. Since 1987, Saab has delivered more than 600,000 AT4s, both directly and under license, to the U.S. Armed Forces. The Carl-Gustaf system has been a program of record in the U.S. since 2013 and in 2018 the U.S. Army announced it would acquire the latest version of the system – the Carl-Gustaf M4 (designated M3E1 in the U.S.) with a reduced weight of less than 15 pounds (7 kilos). The order was booked in Q2 2020.
