SSTRM Technology Network Working Groups.
1.0 Purpose
The purpose of this Letter of Interest (LOI) is to inform Industry, Academia and Government personnel of two different working groups to address future technology requirements for dismounted soldiers. The result of this LOI will be a list of suppliers, academics and government personnel that will be invited to open forums.
The Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI) has created a Technology Network Steering Committee. This committee, in conjunction with the Soldier System Technology Roadmap (SSTRM) Management Office, wishes to consult with Industry, Academia and Government personnel in order to share ideas on future growth in (1) Power Generation and (2) Integrated Clothing System.
This LOI is not a call for Tenders or a Request For Proposal. No agreement or contract will be entered into, with any person or entity, based solely on this LOI. The issuance of this LOI is not to be considered in any way a commitment by the Government of Canada or as authority to potential participants to undertake any work that could be charged to Canada. This LOI is not to be considered as a commitment to issue a Request for Proposal or award contract(s) for these projects.
2.0 Background
The continued networking and partnerships established amongst the various participants from industry, academia and government during the development of the SSTRM Capstone Report and Action Plan is key to the ongoing and future success of the SSTRM. The Technology Network, led by CADSI and supported and actively participated in by the Department of National Defence (DND), has been developed to support this endeavour.
There are two parts to the Technology Network: a Steering Committee to manage the Technology Network, and specialized and focused Working Groups that are formed as required in order to address areas of key interest such as future planned Capital Projects, capability deficiencies or SSTRM implementation activities. The Working Groups are national in scope, and open to industry, academia and government. They will be disbanded when their aims have been achieved.
The first two Working Groups are now being formed. The first Working Group, in the Power/Energy domain, will focus on Power Sources (Fuel Cells) and Power Generation (Energy harvesting technologies). Power and energy on the dismounted soldier is a key technical domain with many associated challenges and an enabler for all five (5) NATO soldier system capabilities. The aim of this Working Group is to recommend ways of increasing the capacity to generate electrical power in the field, and also to identify and promote energy harvesting technologies.
The second Working Group concerns multi-layer, integrated operational clothing for the soldier. The Canadian Army soldier is in need of a fully integrated clothing solution allowing him/her to be able to operate in all climatic zones (-57 to +40) and in all weather conditions.
Each Working Group will have a Chair, identified by the SSTRM Steering Committee, who will be responsible for organizing and running the Group. The format for meetings of the Working Groups would be very similar to the Workshops in the SSTRM's Development Phase. There would be presentations by DND highlighting key needs and upcoming opportunities; presentations from industry/academia highlighting private sector capabilities and alternatives; breakout discussions between industry, academia and government players; and where possible, work on ever-greening the Capstone Report and Action Plan.
