You said “smart defence”. You are perhaps referring to a series of projects to analyze capabilities that NATO and its members are working on. The members meet to work together on various matters, including innovation, advanced military capabilities, and so forth. I can give you a few examples.
One is biometrics in military operations. Another is multinational cyber-defence capability development, which Len Bastien talked about. Others are mission modularity and responsiveness to biological outbreaks.
NATO members can choose to take part in these projects, but not all 29 countries participate in all the projects. Canada is interested in many of these projects. This does not provide us with equipment strictly speaking, but it enables us to share our standards and approaches with other NATO countries.
