Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

End-to-End Underway Profiling System for medium-sized USV Platforms
1044249
AML is developing an autonomous underway profiling system for medium-sized Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs). The project is to develop a small-scale winch system and accompanying remote Launch And Recovery System (LARS) that meets the size, weight, and reliability stipulations of unmanned platforms operating under long term mission deployments.

Wirelessly-Charged Oceanographic Instrumentation
1018052
This project aims to address existing limitations by developing an inductive charging capability for oceanographic instrument package. This capability will allow an unmanned surface vessel to utilize its on-board power capacity to charge the instrument package, resulting in indefinite (from an instrument perspective) mission endurance.

Unmanned Moving Vessel Profiler with Integrated Launch and Recovery
948252
Remotely operated, semi-autonomous vessels have become an important tool within hydrographic survey fleets by allowing the seafloor to be mapped up to 10 X faster. The efficiency gains by using unmanned surface vessels (USVs) are impressive. However, USVs are still relying on their mothership to perform regular sound velocity profiles. The goal of this project is to redesign an existing sound velocity profiling winch to operate on USVs and further unlocking their potential in order to transition the Moving Vessel Profiler (MVP) to an important hydrographic survey platform with growing market.
