    Nouveautés pour les innovateurs

    Chers innovateurs Canadiens,   Le lundi 19 juin, l'OTAN DIANA a lancé ses trois premiers défis pilotes. Les candidatures sont maintenant ouvertes aux innovateurs de classe mondiale qui ont des idées exceptionnelles pour aider à résoudre des problèmes critiques de défense et de sécurité à double usage.   L'appel aux propositions pilote de DIANA se concentre sur les trois domaines suivants :   Résilience énergétique:     Dans un monde incertain et en constante évolution, il est urgent de trouver des solutions énergétiques plus fiables, plus résistantes et plus efficaces, en particulier à la suite de catastrophes naturelles ou dans les zones de conflit. Le changement climatique et ses conséquences ne feront qu'accentuer ce besoin.   Pour relever ce défi, DIANA recherche donc des solutions technologiques permettant la conception modulaire de micro-réseaux capables de répondre de manière fiable aux demandes d'approvisionnement. Les technologies et les systèmes capables de s'adapter et interopérables avec d'autres systèmes similaires, la production d'énergie renouvelable, le stockage de l'énergie, le matériel et les logiciels pour le conditionnement et la gestion adaptatifs et intelligents de l'énergie, ainsi que les technologies de détection et de protection du système physique et de ses composants contre les cyberattaques malveillantes, sont dignes d'intérêt.   Télécharger l'énoncé du problème ici. (en anglais seulement)   Partage sécurisé de l'information:     Par partage sécurisé de l'information, nous entendons généralement la capacité d'échanger des documents et d'autres informations avec des tiers en toute sécurité, sans risque d'interférence de la part d'acteurs malveillants. Toutefois, s'il est important de protéger le transfert d'informations basé sur des documents dans un environnement de bureau, la tâche est plus simple que de sécuriser de multiples formes de flux d'informations lorsque l'on travaille sur le terrain ou en déplacement, comme c'est souvent le cas pour les secouristes, les forces de maintien de la paix et l'armée.   Pour ce défi, DIANA recherche des moyens de créer un environnement d'information sécurisé et fiable, en mettant l'accent sur les flux de données en direct tels que ceux utilisés pour fournir des vidéos en temps quasi réel, des flux de réalité augmentée, des radios numériques, etc. Les solutions matérielles et logicielles qui fonctionnent sur des réseaux ouverts et qui peuvent fonctionner dans des environnements "austères" ou "défavorisés" présentent un intérêt particulier.   Télécharger l'énoncé du problème ici. (en anglais seulement)   Détection et surveillance:     Les eaux côtières sont vitales pour les intérêts économiques et sécuritaires des pays dont elles touchent les frontières, et essentielles pour tous ceux qui en dépendent pour le commerce, le transport, les loisirs et l'alimentation, par exemple. Pourtant, même aujourd'hui, notre compréhension de l'environnement sous-marin est limitée, notamment parce que de nombreuses méthodes d'observation standard ne fonctionnent pas bien sous l'eau et parce que l'environnement marin est difficile d'accès et qu'il est difficile d'y travailler pendant de longues périodes.   Pour ce défi, DIANA recherche des composants et des systèmes pour la détection et la collecte d'informations dans les zones côtières souterraines. Les applications intéressantes peuvent inclure, sans s'y limiter, de nouvelles techniques et/ou des capacités avancées pour la cartographie des fonds marins, la surveillance des infrastructures sous-marines, le suivi des objets artificiels et de la vie marine, la détection des effets du changement climatique et la visualisation des schémas de vie.   Télécharger l'énoncé du problème ici. (en anglais seulement)   L'appel aux propositions sera ouvert jusqu'au 25 août 2023.  Au cours de la première phase du programme d'accélérateur DIANA, environ 30 innovateurs recevront une subvention de $ 150 000 CAD/ € 100 000 EUR à partir de la fin de 2023. À la fin de la première phase, un nombre plus restreint d'entreprises se verront offrir une subvention supplémentaire pouvant atteindre $ 450,000 CAD/ € 300,000 EUR et seront invitées à participer à la deuxième phase du programme d'accélérateur appelée « Scale ». Au cours de ces six mois, les entreprises se concentreront sur la démonstration de leur solution technologique, sur l'élaboration de stratégies de transition et sur la collaboration avec les investisseurs et les utilisateurs finaux afin d'identifier les voies d'adoption.   Lorsque DIANA aura atteint sa pleine capacité opérationnelle en 2025, il organisera jusqu'à dix programmes de défis par an et aura la capacité d'interagir avec des centaines d'innovateurs chaque année.   Le portail de soumissions est accessible via le site web (en anglais seulement) de DIANA.   Grâce à ce lien et à la page LinkedIn (en anglais seulement) de DIANA, vous pouvez également trouver des informations supplémentaires sur l'initiative et rester informé de toutes les publications et mises à jour de DIANA.   Le ministère de la Défense nationale se réjouit de voir la communauté des innovateurs canadiens participer activement au programme DIANA de l'OTAN et vous souhaite bonne chance dans ce processus.    Note - Toute question relative aux défis DIANA ou à l'éligibilité doit être adressée au programme DIANA de l'OTAN par l'intermédiaire du site web officiel de DIANA, dont le lien est le suivant (en anglais seulement).
