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.

Lightweight Self Calibrating OISL
24STDPU17
This project leverages existing Honeywell OISL developments to progress the following steps in the Honeywell product development:
a) Redesign, implementation, and demonstration of internal calibration to improve pointing accuracy and create a modular system that can be integrated into other telescope/terminal systems creating a potential standalone sub-product.
b) Redesign, procurement, and demonstration of an improved telescope mirror technology and design that improves mechanical performance, lowers mass, and improves manufacturability while lowering overall cost.
c) Full system mass overhaul to investigate feasibility of weight-relieved structure(s), lightweight materials, and new optical design layouts with fewer components.

Integrated Assembly for Next Evolution Satellite
20STDPK39
(20STDPK39) 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.
