Communications Security Establishment Canada · Capability Plan
CSE and federal partners face high-volume, complex foreign-intelligence and cyber-threat data that requires faster analysis, reliable triage and decision support while preserving legal, operational and trust constraints.
Communications Security Establishment Canada · Capability Plan
Northern and Arctic systems face geographically dispersed infrastructure, foreign cyber activity and limited response capacity, creating a need for persistent awareness, advanced sensing, partner coordination and resilient services.
National Defence · Capability Plan
The Defence Industrial Strategy reinforces that Arctic operational reach depends not only on CAF access and logistics, but also on reliable northern infrastructure, telecommunications, energy, transportation, climate resilience, Indigenous and territorial participation, and a Canadian industrial base able to build, maintain and sustain those systems.
National Defence · Capability Plan
Fragmented defence acquisition processes can delay urgent capability delivery and obscure how domestic build, trusted co-development and foreign buy decisions will preserve Canadian control, workshare, intellectual property and through-life sustainment.
National Defence · Strategic Policy
Foreign-prime procurement and fragmented industrial benefits can leave Canada without durable control of critical IP, direct Canadian workshare, domestic supplier development or a pathway for SMBs to scale into anchor firms.
Communications Security Establishment Canada · Official Problem Statement
Classified networks need authoritative identity, authentication and authorization controls that provision only eligible users, enforce minimum security requirements and promptly remove access when requirements are no longer met.
Communications Security Establishment Canada · Capability Plan
Canadian government institutions and critical infrastructure face growing state-sponsored and criminal cyber threats, creating a recurring need for technical assessment, incident triage, containment advice, mitigation support and resilient digital foundations.
National Defence · Funding Program
Canadian defence and dual-use discoveries need a connected path from fundamental research through applied R&D, secure testing, prototyping, demonstration, commercialization and rapid CAF adoption.
National Defence · Strategic Policy
Canadian firms need a larger skilled workforce and faster, more predictable security-clearance and secure-facility accreditation pathways to participate in defence R&D, classified collaboration and procurement.
National Defence · Funding Program
Canada must reduce vulnerabilities in ammunition and explosives supply chains and expand production capacity for components, materials and other critical inputs required to sustain CAF readiness and sovereign defence capability.
NATO · Official Problem Statement
Move and coordinate large land formations faster while improving lethality, protection, precision, and survivability across difficult terrain, poor visibility, and contested electromagnetic conditions.
Defence Investment Agency · Procurement Notice
Canada requires a future submarine fleet able to operate at long range and endurance, including under ice, while supporting surveillance, deterrence, and sovereignty missions across Arctic, Atlantic, and Pacific approaches.
