Le 4 septembre 2018 – Ottawa – Défense nationale/Forces armées canadiennes
Du 10 au 21 septembre 2018, des scientifiques canadiens de la défense et des membres des Forces armées canadiennes effectueront une série d'expériences de recherche en technologie dans la ville de Montréal aux côtés de pays partenaires, soit l'Australie, les États-Unis, la Nouvelle-Zélande et le Royaume-Uni. Les activités de recherche comprendront la mise à l'essai et l'évaluation de nouvelles technologies dans divers environnements et paysages urbains.
L'expérience en environnement urbain contesté (EUC 18) se déroulera dans les environs du Manège militaire Côte-des-Neiges, autour de belvédère Kondiaronk, le long de la rue de la Montagne et près du Silo no 5 dans le secteur du Vieux-Port.
La plupart des activités se dérouleront au cours de la journée, et quelques périodes d'essai auront lieu pendant la nuit. Tout le personnel militaire participant à l'expérience EUC 18 ne sera pas armé.
Cette expérience est réalisée dans le but d'appuyer l'avancement de la recherche sur la meilleure façon de mener des opérations militaires dans des environnements urbains.
Des mesures sont prises afin de minimiser les inconvénients pour les personnes se trouvant dans le secteur. Le public est toutefois avisé que certaines zones peuvent être inaccessibles pendant la durée de l'expérience EUC 18.
Les questions concernant les sujets locaux, comme les perturbations de la circulation, les fermetures de routes, etc., doivent être adressées à la ville de Montréal.
Les questions du public concernant l'expérience peuvent être adressées à l'organisation responsable des sciences et de la technologie du ministère de la Défense nationale, Recherche et développement pour la défense Canada, par courriel à CUE18_EUC18@forces.gc.ca.
Les questions des médias peuvent être adressées au Bureau de relations avec les médias du ministère de la Défense nationale par courriel à mlo-blm@forces.gc.ca.

L3 WESCAM announced on Feb. 1 that it ended the second half of 2017 with more than US$250 million in contracts from military and law enforcement customers for its MX-Series electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) products and in-service support products and services. The orders will provide a range of MX imaging and targeting solutions to both experienced MX end users and military customers new to L3 WESCAM products and services. “For more than 40 years, L3 has been a key supplier of ISR technologies, including sensors and systems, to help military and law enforcement agencies stay on the leading edge as surveillance and reconnaissance missions evolve,” said Jeff Miller, L3's senior vice-president and president of its sensor systems business segment. “We have earned and maintained a very strong reputation for quality, performance, reliability and rapid delivery, having provided more than 4,100 MX surveillance and targeting systems worldwide.” New platforms, new end-user countries The demand for L3 WESCAM's ISR technologies continued to grow as systems were sold for the first time into four new countries across four separate continents, including Africa, Europe, Asia and North America. Additionally, MX-Series systems were purchased for the first time on six significant airborne platforms, including airframes developed in Europe, Japan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. L3 WESCAM turrets are now operating in over 70 countries on more than 190 different types of platforms across the air, land and maritime domains. Continued growth for in-service support L3 continued to experience a growing demand for in-service support contracts from MX customers located across North America, Europe and Asia. To keep operators and maintainers of MX systems operating at maximum efficiency, L3 WESCAM held a series of highly interactive customer conferences in Italy, France, Australia and Canada. With over 230 MX operators and maintainers in attendance, L3 presented a series of technology sessions, gaining pivotal insight into each customer's direct experience with MX products and a better understanding of future surveillance and targeting requirements. Complementing these customer-centric user groups, L3's global in-service support infrastructure, composed of 13 service centres staffed by a team of dedicated field service support personnel, continued to provide unmatched maintenance and repair solutions to customers who rely on L3's airborne, land and maritime imaging capabilities 24/7. L3 WESCAM also conducted a series of new product demonstrations in the latter half of the year that were overwhelmingly successful, underscoring the company's commitment to anticipating customer needs and achieving the highest levels of performance possible. These trials will help to support future business opportunities moving into 2018 and beyond. L3 WESCAM is a world leader in the design and manufacture of stabilized, multi-spectral imaging systems. https://www.wescam.com/wp-content/uploads/Final_WESCAM_-second-half-2017-results.pdf
