In order for Defence R&D Canada to deliver its research programs for advanced underwater sensing systems to the Canadian Forces, there is an ongoing requirement for a "toolkit" of associated acoustic, electromagnetic, and environmental probing and sensing systems as well as test and calibration systems needed to validate and maintain the performance of these systems.

A DRDC project has been initiated to recapitalize aging underwater research and development capabilities as well as provide new capabilities. The purpose of this requirement is to conduct an unclassified market survey to identify candidate UWW research systems.
