Description (French)
Le financement appuiera l’élaboration de concepts visant à identifier des solutions au défi de la Défense nationale : un passage plus sûr lors des opérations de brèche dans les champs de mines en Ukraine. Le ministère de la Défense nationale (MDN) et les Forces armées canadiennes (FAC) recherchent des solutions précoces pour détecter les mines et autres obstacles dans les champs de mines modernes et dégager une route à travers le champ de mines en les éliminant d'une manière ou d'une autre. Les technologies développées soutiendront les capacités en Ukraine et feront progresser les capacités des FAC dans le cadre de futures initiatives de brèche ou de déminage des champs de mines.
Expected Results
The Department of National Defence (DND) and the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) are seeking early-stage solutions (Technology Readiness Level 1-6) for detecting mines and other obstacles in modern minefields, and clearing a route through the minefield by defeating them in some manner. Technologies developed will support capabilities in Ukraine as well as advance the capabilities of the CAF in future minefield breaching or clearance initiatives.
Expected Results (French)
Le ministère de la Défense nationale (MDN) et les Forces armées canadiennes (FAC) recherchent des solutions préliminaires (niveau de préparation technologique 1 à 6) pour détecter les mines et autres obstacles dans les champs de mines modernes et dégager un passage à travers le champ de mines en les éliminant. d'une certaine manière. Les technologies développées soutiendront les capacités en Ukraine et feront progresser les capacités des FAC dans le cadre de futures initiatives de brèche ou de déminage des champs de mines.
