New Call for Countering Unmanned Aerial Systems Coming
In 2022, IDEaS will again be looking to the skies! After hosting a Sandbox in 2019 on Countering Unmanned Aerial Systems (CUAS), IDEaS will be inviting innovators to bring their ‘A' game in a new call for applications in the New Year. Come show us how your CUAS prototypes can solve the challenge and be integrated into the broader military command and control system. The original call sought technologies that could detect and/or defeat Micro and Mini Unmanned Aerial Systems, for which we are now seeking improved performance and integration. Visit the 2019 CUAS Results page to learn more on how the event unfolded and what we learned. Stay tuned for the new call to launch in January 2022.
Stay tuned for opportunities to join and collaborate in Innovation Networks 5G research clusters!
In Fall 2021, IDEaS invited Canadian Innovators to submit a Letter of Intent for the development of research clusters (called Micro-nets) under the newest Innovation Networks challenge: Faster, Stronger, More Secure: Advancing 5G capabilities and concepts for Defence and Security. The focus of the Micro-nets will be to conduct research to address DND/CAF needs with applications for:
Eligible Innovators screened in will be invited by the IDEaS Program to submit their Full Proposals over a period of 6 weeks.
IDEaS will be posting the list of all screened in applicants in January 2022, including their proposal title, and lead researcher. We encourage organizations to build their network and reach out to be part of these growing micro-nets.
Each funded micro-net will be eligible to receive up to $1.5M over 3 years to foster the development of a critical mass of researchers, highly qualified personnel, and expertise within the Canadian innovation community.
Please join our mailing list to be the first to hear of this opportunity for collaborate.

Nouvel appel de propositions pour vaincre les systèmes aériens sans pilote à venir bientôt
En 2022, IDEeS regarde à nouveau vers le ciel ! Après avoir réalisé
Ne manquez pas le nouvel appel de propositions qui sera lancé en janvier 2022.
Les micro-réseaux 5G de Réseaux d'innovation commencent à prendre forme en janvier
Les participants sélectionnés pour la phase de proposition du défi Plus rapide, plus fort, plus sécurisé : avancer les capacités et les concepts 5G pour la défense et la sécurité seront publiés sur le site Web d'IDEeS en janvier.
Le titre de la proposition, l'organisation et le chercheur principal seront partagés afin que les candidats puissent commencer le processus de collaboration pour construire leurs micro-réseaux.
Chaque micro-réseau financé sera admissible à recevoir jusqu'à 1,5 million de dollars (sur 3 ans) pour favoriser le développement d'une masse critique de chercheurs, de personnel hautement qualifié et d'expertise au sein de la communauté canadienne de l'innovation.
Les participants doivent soumettre leurs propositions complètes au programme IDEeS dans les 6 semaines suivant la réception de la notification de la réussite de leur candidature.
Inscrivez-vous à notre liste de distribution pour être averti lorsque la liste des participants sera disponible.

SkyAlyne, a partnership between Canadian aviation and defence companies CAE and KF Aerospace, has officially unveiled its expanded team of strategic subcontractors to pursue the Royal Canadian Air Force's (RCAF) Future Aircrew Training (FAcT) program. SkyAlyne is a qualified supplier for the FAcT program. Canadian-based companies ATCO Frontec, Bluedrop Training and Simulation, Canadian Base Operators, Canadian Helicopters, and SERCO Canada will add considerable expertise, experience and Canadian content to SkyAlyne's bid. PAL Aerospace is a notable new addition to the SkyAlyne team, bringing unparalleled Canadian experience in airborne surveillance and intelligence operations, sensor operator training, mission systems development and aircraft modification capabilities. The SkyAlyne team collectively employs more than 14,000 Canadians and operates in every region of Canada — from coast to coast to coast. “We are pleased to officially announce our pan-Canadian team of experienced partners,” said SkyAlyne board chair Tracy Medve. “Our goal is to work with the Royal Canadian Air Force to continue providing a world-class aircrew training program built by Canadians for Canadians. These partnerships will strengthen SkyAlyne's position and help us move towards our objective to retain this crucial military capability in Canada.” As the only Canadian-founded and Canadian-based qualified supplier competing for the FAcT program, SkyAlyne has unique experience and expertise in military pilot and aircrew training specifically for the RCAF. SkyAlyne's parent companies – CAE and KF Aerospace – currently deliver all phases of pilot training for the Royal Canadian Air Force through the NATO Flying Training in Canada (NFTC) program based in Moose Jaw, Sask./Cold Lake, Alta., and the Contracted Flying Training and Support (CFTS) program based in Southport, Man., respectively. The subcontractors announced as part of the SkyAlyne team have extensive experience working with the RCAF. Most also currently support the existing training programs managed by CAE and KF Aerospace. “This agreement further ensures that the FAcT program benefits from the very latest Canadian expertise and innovation in aircrew training,” said SkyAlyne president France Hébert. “If selected, SkyAlyne will train the next generation of Royal Canadian Air Force airwomen and airmen while helping grow Canadian small- and medium-sized businesses as well as local and Indigenous communities. The selection of the SkyAlyne team would be a win-win for the Royal Canadian Air Force and for the Canadian aerospace industry.” https://www.skiesmag.com/press-releases/skyalyne-announces-pan-canadian-team-of-experts-for-fact-program

Yesterday, the Honourable Bill Blair, Minister of National Defence concluded a productive visit to Washington, D.C., where he and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, and Chief of the Defence Staff General Wayne Eyre attended the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Leaders’ Summit – including meetings of the North Atlantic Council and NATO-Ukraine Council.
un Environnement protégé en 2019 pour en apprendre sur comment vaincre les systèmes aériens sans pilote (CUAS), IDEeS invitera les innovateurs à apporter leur savoir-faire dans un nouvel appel de propositions pour la nouvelle année. Venez nous montrer comment vos prototypes CUAS peuvent relever le défi et être intégrés dans un système de commandement et de contrôle militaire plus large. L'appel initial recherchait des technologies capables de détecter et/ou de vaincre les systèmes aériens micro et mini sans pilote, pour lesquels nous recherchons maintenant des performances et une intégration améliorées.
