We work very closely with Dr. Walker and his team, and I'll give you an example. The example would be urgent survivability upgrades for Afghanistan, where we progressed over 30 projects: additional armour, belly protection, ballistic eyewear, etc. And with the support from the test facility in Valcartier, we ballistically or explosively proved all of those solutions prior to acquiring them.
They also modelled this. If you put a land mine under an armoured vehicle, mathematically, they modelled how that material would resist that under-tank mine, and incredibly, they modelled some of those to 1% or 2% of reality, which is incredible. And then when we destroyed examples of all our vehicles and then we actually put the kits on them, they came in extremely accurately and close. We worked weekly with DRDC throughout that period of about three and a half years, to implement those projects.
Now, we also have a much longer strategic relationship with DRDC in planning future technology needs.
