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.

Improved Air Domain Awareness for the Integration of Drones into the Airspace
1023566
The Project is focused on innovative technologies used to support the integration of drones in our national airspace and builds off of the advances we developed in our previous ADA project. The development of these technologies will significantly enhance air domain awareness (ADA) and decision support capabilities in Accipiter’s existing surveillance products and services and support two emerging applications: (i) flying drones safely beyond visual line of sight through detect and alert (DAA) technology instead of visual observers in order to avoid mid-air collisions of concern to regulators such as Transport Canada and NAV CANADA; and (ii) protecting airports, low-flying crewed aircraft, critical infrastructure, the public and law enforce

Improved Air Domain Awareness Capabilities
1001978
The Project involves the development of innovative technologies which will significantly enhance air domain awareness (ADA) decision support in Accipiter’s existing surveillance products and services. ADA involves providing users with situational awareness and understanding of targets and phenomenology in their airspace. Targets include drones, general aviation aircraft and birds, and phenomenology includes weather, as well as other noise/clutter sources that require suppression to avoid confusing operators and causing decision support errors.
