Grants and Contributions

​The objective of the project is Fruit and nut sales, hard cider sales, agricultural tourism in the form of Glamping. The intern would be working on orchards, mowing lawns, picking fruit, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning glamping tents, stocking shelves, packing orders, planting trees.

​The objective of the project is to assist the sheep farm that specializes in selling lamb but also offers vegetation abatement using the sheep at solar installations. The intern will assist ​in fencing, basic repairs, animal welfare/care, and regenerative grazing management.  The intern will also develop communication (verbal and written), sales, and marketing skills.
 

The objective of the project is to involve the intern in the activities of this farm business producing strawberries and raspberries. The intern will help to pick berries, remove weeds, cut strawberry flowers, and perform general maintenance of the grounds.

Acquisition of equipment: The project aims to improve the productivity and increase the production capacity of a company specialized in the manufacturing and installation of custom metal parts.

(20STDK16) Today we are at the birth of an emerging spinoff market of Commercial On-Orbit Servicing (OOS). MDA's vision is to penetrate this market by positioning itself to be a global leader in OOS robotics solutions for customers' space servicing vehicles. As part of the development of this system, MDA has identified the arm joint as a key enabler because it will provide performance to enable dexterous robotic servicing at a far lower recurring price.

In this project, to raise joint technology from TRL 4 to TRL 6, MDA will:
• Perform preliminary design of flight joint
• Build & test an Engineering Model in simulated operational environments, including thermal, vacuum, etc.

The successful robotic arm technology will potentially create a new commercial product base for Canada in robotics.

(20STDPK19) The ultra-wideband satellite modem envisioned by this project extends what is possible for providing extremely high throughput data services for next generation extremely high data rate satellite systems.
This project investigates transmitting and receiving an extremely wide satellite signal with a bandwidth up to 2.5 GHz. The design will use the latest in FPGA and processing technology utilizing embedded processors and high-speed ADC/DACs to offer flexible single and multi-channel operation over the supported bandwidth.
Providing flexibility will enable operators to utilize a greater portion of their assigned spectrum from a single unit to offer services and realize revenues, while reducing the amount of equipment required.

This technology development will directly benefit Canadian satellite operators and service providers to offer high-speed internet services anywhere in Canada.

The geosynchronous global satellite industry is evolving a new generation of satellites to address needs of new satellite services including local-channel direct broadcast, high capacity K/Ka-band personal communication, and more, with flexibility to adjust coverage, capacity and frequency.

This project will design, build and test a compact Ka-Band RF subassembly, comprising 64 low loss filters, 64 Low Noise Amplifiers and distribution power network to be used in advanced payload for next evolution satellites.

This advanced beam shaping technology will become the backbone of a new product line to meet future needs of our customers.

Of interest to COMDEV are the flexible GEO satellite and constellations, both architectures having their advantages to serve Canadians. The proposed technology directly addresses the need of this service.

Optical Inter Satellite Links (OISL) transceiver is an optical transmitter and receiver, converting the incoming/outgoing optical signals to extract/transmit data to/from other satellites and earth.

To date Radio Frequency has been used as primary transmission media in space, however, moving to optical data transfer benefits in speed, security, higher data rates, lower power consumption and reduction of satellite physical footprint.

The project is to validate achievement of TRL 6 of an OISL transceiver, based on a selected Commercial Off The Shelf transceiver (TRL 4), suitable for application on a LEO-type satellite, in conjunction with the Optical Head Unit to enable data transmission.

This transceiver will be demonstrated in a laboratory environment.

Canada stands to benefit from all the current effort to develop OISL products.

Acquisition of equipment : The project aims to improve productivity and increase the production capacity of a company specializing in the manufacture and installation of custom metal parts.

Canada's Fisheries Fund will transform and drive innovation in the fish and seafood sector in Canada with a focus on developing the sector to better meet growing market demands for sustainably sourced, high-quality fish and seafood products.
