Public Needs
Follow released needs from governments, armed forces, programs, and allied organizations. Then see the Canadian technologies a person has reviewed against that public record.
How to read the record
Every Demand Signal starts with a released public source. A connection to Canadian technology is our reviewed assessment, not procurement eligibility, endorsement, customer interest, classified demand, or a formal opportunity.

Communications Security Establishment Canada · Official Problem Statement
Government departments and industries depend on distributed information technology and need trusted cryptographic key-management infrastructure to protect classified or nationally sensitive information and verify communications authenticity.
National Defence · Innovation Challenge
Give frontline units affordable small drones that can locate targets accurately enough to support sensor-to-shooter workflows and indirect-fire coordination.
Communications Security Establishment Canada · Capability Plan
High-profile events and their host organizations create concentrated cyber-risk and require coordinated planning, monitoring, incident response, exercises and secure information sharing across federal, provincial, municipal and private partners.
National Defence · Strategic Policy
Defence readiness depends on reliable access to medical countermeasures, critical minerals, steel, aluminum and other strategic materials that can be disrupted by geopolitical competition, tariffs or fragile global supply chains.
Communications Security Establishment Canada · Official Problem Statement
Canadian organizations need timely, actionable warning of vulnerabilities, incidents and malicious activity across a large and changing threat surface, with delivery mechanisms that reach federal institutions and critical infrastructure operators.
National Defence · Capability Plan
Canada requires persistent and covert detection, tracking, intelligence collection and notification of subsurface vessels across northern, coastal and expeditionary areas where continuous crewed coverage is difficult to sustain.
Communications Security Establishment Canada · Strategic Policy
Government and critical-infrastructure operators must understand and manage the future risk that quantum computing poses to current cryptography, including inventory, migration planning, key management and interoperable protection of sensitive information.
Communications Security Establishment Canada · Official Problem Statement
Security and intelligence organizations require resilient, interoperable and secure collaboration services for exchanging and developing intelligence, including modern network, storage, PKI, voice, video and file-sharing functions.
National Defence · Strategic Policy
Canada needs secure strategic autonomy and reliable access to capabilities that are critical to defending its sovereignty and meeting allied commitments, while reducing exposure to foreign supply-chain and intellectual-property dependencies.
National Defence · Strategic Policy
CAF operations and defence platforms increasingly depend on secure cloud, AI, quantum technologies, integrated command-and-control, communications and high-assurance equipment whose software, data and intellectual property must remain supportable and sovereignly controlled.
National Defence · Strategic Policy
Canada needs domestic or trusted-partner capacity in marine and quantum sensors, electronic warfare, space-based ISR, space-domain awareness, satellite communications, launch and uncrewed systems to maintain situational awareness and operational advantage.
Communications Security Establishment Canada · Official Problem Statement
Government and critical-infrastructure supply chains contain dependencies and exposures that require repeatable assessment, prioritization and mitigation to reduce the risk of compromise through suppliers, software, systems and services.
