  1. Soldier Systems TRM Next Steps LCol M.A. Bodner Director S&T Land (DSTL-2) SSTRM ESC Co-Chair September 22nd, 2010

  2. Development Phase Objectives and Outcomes Objectives • To develop a comprehensive technology roadmap that will support the Canadian Forces soldier modernization effort • Converge on anoverall vision for the soldier systems (5 capability areas) • Identify R&Dfocus areas that will contribute in creating potential solutions to future DND needs • Begin a dialogue among stakeholders, leading to the development of the technologies that will have been identified Outcomes • Capstone Report and Action Planfor the implementation/exploitation phase

  3. Overall TRM Phases FY 07/08 08/09 09/10 10/11 11/12 12/13 13/14 14/15 15/16 … Definition Governance Collaboration tool Development Vision Workshops (7) Themes/Focus Areas Gaps/Challenges Tech Watch Action Plan Capstone Report Implementation/ Exploitation Phase (S&T Development)

  4. Implementation/Exploitation Phase Objectives • To foster the development of key novel technologies identified during the development phase and captured in the capstone report which could address the identified capability gaps. • To help position industry/research organizations (governmental and others) through better focused innovation and R&Dto respond to future Canadian Forces needs. • Planned for April 2011

  5. Approach • Leveraging existing funding programs to support R&D projects • Leverage other related TRM efforts (e.g. Textile, Wireless, fuel cells, …) Governance • Interdepartmental project arrangement • Implementation Steering Committee (ISC - Gov. members & industry associations) • Proposed project management team - Soldier Systems Technology Hub

  6. Tech Hub INDUSTRY Industry Canada Other Departments(NRC, DFAIT, PWGSC) Academia & InternationalPartners Facilitator Soldier Systems TRM Implementation Project Stakeholders DRDC (S&T leadership) Subject matterexpertsTechnology watch Focused R&DTechnologytransition DRDC (S&T leadership) Subject matterexpertsTechnology watch Focused R&DTechnologytransition DRDC (S&T leadership) R&D1 R&D4 R&D3 R&D2 Army R&Dn Hub Same as for the Development Phase

  7. Using the Capstone Report and Action Plan to Guide the Functions of the Proposed Soldier Systems Technology Hub • Technology Planning: foster ongoing, joint technology planning (helping stakeholders prioritize R&D) • Standards Development: DND to bring certainty to future requirements • Clearinghouse (matchmaking): hub to create a clearinghouse of ideas, capabilities, funding sources to facilitate collaboration (virtual and face-to-face) • Possible Sponsorship: by DND of individual, relevant projects that are in line with the Capstone Report and Action Plan • Improved Alignment: Soldier Systems S&T Enterprise activities, including shaping of DRDC Call for Proposals • Evergreen TRM through tech Watch (ICee) • Organize Annual Workshop to keep momentum and maintain networking opportunities

  8. Potential Funding Programs Mainly unsolicited Non-exhaustive And many provincial programs

  9. Application Example: Batteries One measure of success Path to Technology Exploitation TRM Development POWER/ ENENERGY • Technology Planning • Standards/Challenges • Clearinghouse • Endorsement/Sponsorship • S&T Enterprise, DRDC R&D • Evergreen tech priorities PRIORITY TECHNOLOGIES CHALLENGES CAPABILITY THEME R&D 1 Firm A Lithium-ion 2015: 10% higher energy density 2020: 30% higher energy density Integrator X Storage Battery Acquisition Process R&D 2 Firms B&C Zinc Air STORAGE Batteries R&D n Research Orgs. Nuclear Batteries Integrator Y

  10. TRMs: In Coherence with DRDC’s Four Interrelated Roles • Increased synergy/convergence between CF, ADM (Mat), ADM (S&T) • Increased access to wider pool of experts (Academia, research organizations, industry) • Industry Canada (trusted partner) for interface with industry • Better knowledge of client needs • Greater awareness of various technology options • Better industry positioning and preparedness Integral advisor • Technology trends/forecast, e.g. “Technology Knowledge Hub” (ICee) • Roadmapping Software • Greater understanding by all of future capability requirements, potential solutions, technology options, potential synergies and technology readiness levels • Increased networking and collaboration opportunities (large and small companies/research organizations, defence and non-defence, national and international) • Innovative Web database and collaboration tool (ICee) • Technology Workshops • Matchmaking (technology, partners, ...) • All information available to all

  11. Measures of Success Short Term Goals • R&D starts • Better focused • Better synchronized • Better knowledge from companies of S&T funds from provincial and federal organizations • Successful launched collaborations Long Term Goal • SSTRM idea generation through products used by soldiers on operation (10 years) • Better positioning of industry’s products for future procurement
