Prepare the conversation
Questions for a first conversation
Which current configurations and independently accepted outcomes best define Excelitas Canada Inc.'s Defence photodetectors and pulsed laser emitters readiness?
The catalogue and DND contract establish defence relevance and Canadian activity, not integration into a named Canadian smart munition, current acceptance or complete targeting capability. The first conversation should therefore separate current offer, development evidence and accepted operational use.
