How is new C-IED technology developed and fielded?
The C-IED TF works closely with Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) and the Directorate of Land Requirements to ensure that the development and procurement of new equipment is appropriately prioritized. There are two main methods of acquiring new C-IED equipment. If the equipment is currently available on the market, the in place procurement processes are employed. If the CF has a requirement for a capability that does not currently exist, it is developed in partnership with Defence Research and Development Canada and our allies.
