Mods - this was the closest fit I could find, but feel free to move if you see a better fit elsewhere.

Some summaries of public bid requests for various military projects, via Canada's MERX public tendering web page....

"Detection of (IED?) Command Wires - AB"
....Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) - Suffield has a requirement for a study to determine if it is realistically feasible to detect command wires using the principles of cross-polarized RF signals to cause an excitation in the command wire which is re-radiated and detected at a different frequency, perhaps with a polarization related to the geometry of the wire and ground....

"Speech Communication in Noisy Environment"
....Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) - Toronto has a requirement to develop the advanced signal processing methods for emulating human speech recognition in noisy environments. The method will seek to address the "cocktail party problem", which is identification and enhancement of a particular voice in the presence of competing voices and other background noises, including machine noise and impulsive sounds. As well, to develop and evaluate a prototype helmet-mounted microphone array for noise reduction, acoustic source localization, and enhanced communication. The prototype should be integrated with the signal processing software developed under this contract and with the Nacre QuietPro communication device....

"Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle System (SUAV)"
....On behalf of Departement of National Defence (DND), Small Unmanned Air Vehicle service to Support Canadian troops during training and current operations. Major Project Milestones, Contract Award planned for late January 2009, Initial Operating Capability 120 days after contract award. Major requirements: 90% operational availability, 12 hours on station, ability of the air vehicle to gather and transmit high quality imagery from a distance of 50km....

"Research on Femtosecond Laser"
....Femtosecond lasers opened new research fields of interest to a number of research groups around the world. DRDC Valcartier has a high-intensity (TW) femto laser in a portable laboratory. This facility, the T&T, is unique, and despite its complexity, enables us to conduct applied research in the field. DRDC Valcartier is presently involved in research projects on THz, filament formation and propagation and new wavelength generation, all using the femtosecond laser....
And what's a femtolaser used for, you may ask? A hint, from another Canadian web page.....
