New Defence Perspective New Defence Perspective New Defence Perspective New Defence Perspective Innovative technology, knowledge, problem solving are critical for Canada and its allies to mitigate new threats, stay ahead of potential adversaries, and meet evolving defence and security needs, while generating economic benefits for Canada. Strong, Secure, Engaged Canada’s Defence Policy 2017 In SSE, DND announced the Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) program and will invest $1.6 billion over 20 years 2
The Innovation Imperative The Innovation Imperative WHY WE MUST INNOVATE HOW WE CAN INNOVATE Nature of conflicts and threats is rapidly Recruit more of the Canadian innovation evolving and changing as new technologies, ecosystem to partner in the delivery of S&T players and domains emerge; for defence and security; Foster a technologically advanced and To enrich defence capabilities that address innovation-driven defence and security current and emerging challenges; sector capable of addressing evolving threats To stay ahead of rapidly evolving technology; and generating economic benefits; To inform future decisions; and Increase partnerships and collaboration to foster and build on emerging S&T developed We must innovate to remain economically across the innovation ecosystem; and competitive . Leverage government buying power to target sectors that have the most innovative solutions. 3
Aligning with Allies Aligning with Allies In 2014, the U.S. launched its Third Offset Strategy (U.S. $3.6 billion) aimed at leapfrogging the conventional R&D process by tapping into civilian efforts and improving collaboration with innovative private sector enterprises. In 2016 Australia launched the Next Generation Technologies Fund ($730 million over 10 years) and a Defence Innovation Hub ($640 million over 10 years) to undertake collaborative innovation activities from initial idea, through testing to application. In 2016, the United Kingdom in support of Innovate UK, launched the Defence Innovation Initiative (£800m over 10 years). 4 4

These principles form the foundation for the design and operations of IDEaS. INNOVATION PRINCIPLES Agile business process proposal, selection and engagement Multidisciplinary teams Learn fast through frequent trials Hardest problems attract best ideas In 2018, Canada announces the Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) program ($1.6 B over 20 years) 5

IDEaS in action IDEaS in action Hard Problems turned into Innovation Challenges Hard Problems turned into Innovation Challenges Detection and Classification of Objects of Interest • How to augment the ability to detect, recognize, track and identify persons or objects using seamless information sharing across a decision network? Autonomous systems • How can operators trust and work effectively with autonomous systems? Persistent Maritime Surveillance • How can offshore waters be monitored to detect underwater threats by using rapidly Enhancing Domain Awareness and Joint ISR deployed, persistent, autonomous, solutions? Enhancement effectiveness of space-based capabilities • How do we develop a Common Operating Picture of space assets to improve situational awareness? 8
