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.

Virtual Test Range for Optionally-Piloted and Remotely-Piloted Aircraft

Agreement Number:

968511

Duration: from Apr 1, 2021 to Mar 31, 2022
Description:

The proposed Virtual Test Range (VTR) is an innovative simulator for Detect and Avoid (DAA) systems. Its key components, some of which can be real and others simulated, are the ownship Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), intruder aircraft, DAA sensors, ground control station (GCS) and air-traffic control (ATC).

YOUTH - Guardian Eye II Product Development

Agreement Number:

928618

Duration: from Jul 1, 2019 to Jan 31, 2020
Description:

The purpose of this project is to develop a production-level version of our GuardianEye. The Firm will be taking stock of the existing capabilities of system, comparing these to what the Firm thinks the BVLOS market needs and then determining what gaps there might be. This would also require some general market research as to what a BVLOS operation requires. The Software Engineering team and the Radar Engineering team will taking this information into system requirements for GuardianEye II, which will be our full-production system.This would also lead naturally into developing the engineering and performance specs for the marketing material which would include a social media and conference/trade show strategy.

YOUTH - Development of an Optionally Piloted Aircraft Simulation Environment

Agreement Number:

928620

Duration: from May 20, 2019 to Mar 31, 2020
Description:

An optionally-piloted aircraft (OPA) is essentially a human-supervised autonomous aircraft. The pilot in command (PIC) sits in the seat of a normal manned aircraft that has been modified to be flown autonomously. The PIC supervises the flight of the aircraft and takes control when required to by the supervisory control system. This simulator will be used to explore the feasibility of training an expert system and studying the interaction between the autonomous system and a pilot. Real flight operations will be studied including search and rescue and surveillance. Unmanned aircraft operating truly autonomously could play an important part in better management of resources and the environment.
