EspañolDEFENCE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CANADA
(Redirected from DRDC)
'Defence Research and Development Canada', also DR&D Canada, or DRDC, is an agency of the Department of National Defence, whose purpose is to respond to the scientific and technological needs of the Canadian Forces.
During World War II the National Research Council of Canada conducted wartime research for the Department of National Defence and its military arms, the Royal Canadian Navy, the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Canadian Army. When NRC reverted to its peacetime activities following the war, DND sought to continue defence research and created the 'Defence Research Board' (DRB) in April 1947 to coordinate the department's research and development activities.
The unification of the three services into the Canadian Armed Forces (CF) in 1968 saw DRB evolve, becoming the 'Research and Development Branch' of the CF by 1974. The R&D Branch was reorganized on April 1, 2000 when it became an agency within DND called 'Defence Research and Development Canada' (DRDC).
DRDC is organized around six research centres located across the country with headquarters in Ottawa. Each research centre focuses on a particular set of scientific and operational requirements. DRDC has an annual budget of $300 million and employs 1500 people.
Located at CFB Suffield, DRDC Suffield is home to the Chemical/Biological Forensic Research Lab, and a host of other CB defence research labs, including Canada's small scale facility for the production of Schedule 1 substances permitted under the Chemical Weapons Convention.
The Military Engineering facilities are engaged in the testing of rockets, explosives, new weapon systems, vehicle components and equipment, and house a Non-Metallic Laboratory made of polyurethane foam coated with sprayed gypsum and rubberized plastic used to make very low noise magnetic and low frequency electromagnetic measurements.
The Counter Terrorism Technology Center focuses on training first responders for a biological or chemical incident, and to develop guidelines on how to deal with those events.
DRDC Suffield also maintains facilities for the test and evaluation of anti-personnel mines to help in the development of demining equipment in association with the Canadian Centre for Mine Action Technologies (CCMAT).
DRDC Ottawa is the lead authority and center of expertise in the Defence R&D Canada Agency for the exploitation of the electromagnetic spectrum to meet future Canadian Forces, Departmental and National needs.

DRDC Cora is the Centre for Operational Research located in Ottawa. They provide expert, objective and timely operational research, analytical support, and advice to the Canadian Forces and the Department of National Defence. The effort supports force development, resource allocation, acquisition, improved operational effectiveness and efficiency, strategic analysis, scientific and technical intelligence, and the achievement of departmental policy and human resource goals.
DRDC Toronto is located at the former site of CFB Downsview.
The primary research fields at DRDC Toronto are human-factor analysis, simulations, operational field medicine, diving chamber, centrifuge, hyperbaric and hypobaric chambers, visual and auditory signal recognition.
DRDC Valcartier is located at CFB Valcartier
The primary research fields at DRDC Valcartier are optronics, information systems, and combat systems.
DRDC Atlantic has world-leading expertise in antisubmarine warfare, mine and torpedo defence, shipboard command and control, and air and naval platform technology. Located on the shores of Halifax Harbour in the Dartmouth adjunct of CFB Halifax's HMC ''Dockyard'', DRDC Atlantic has expanded its research programs to include emerging materials, signature management, maritime information and knowledge management, virtual platforms, and virtual combat systems. DRDC also maintains and operates an underwater acoustic calibration facility on a barge moored at the deepest location on Bedford Basin,[1], a distinctive local landmark for decades.
Over the years, researchers at DRDC, sometimes in partnership with the NRC and others, have been responsible for numerous innovations and inventions of practical application in the civilian world. These include the G-suit, motorized wheelchair, the Alouette 1 satellite, Black Brant rocket, improvements to the carbon dioxide laser, flight data recorder, the Ballard fuel cell membrane, and the Bombsniffer (using gas chromatomography and ion mobility spectrometry).[2][3]
DRDC Atlantic traces its formation to 1944 when it was established as the Defence Research Establishment Atlantic (DREA) by the Royal Canadian Navy. DREA was one of the originating organizations that came together in 1947 to form the Defense Research Board which later became DRDC.[4]
