The challenge

IDEaS is offering grants to support innovations and concepts that advance NORAD modernization S&T to future-proof North America’s defence against aerospace and maritime threats. In addition to bolstering NORAD and the CAFs’ ability to protect North America, the grants offer an opportunity for research and development collaborations that strengthen Canada’s innovation and industrial sectors, and deepen National DND’s strong Northern, territorial, and Indigenous partnerships.

The awards aim more specifically to support Canada’s NORAD modernization plan. In particular, this contest aims to support ongoing evolution of continental defence capabilities with investments supporting researchers, innovators and entrepreneurs in assessing new and emerging threats, evolving research and development work, and co-developing innovative technological solutions in immediate priority areas.
