Remarques

Please note that the value listed under 4(iii) for Engineers refers to the number of Managers at the facility, not Engineers.

Additionally, the funding level estimate provided under 4(vii) for Research is the total funding level estimate (including salaries) for research, development and test and evaluation collectively.

5. Décrire succinctement les travaux sur la défense biologique réalisés dans l’installation, y compris le(s) type(s) de micro-organismes(9) et/ou toxines étudiés, et résumer les études en plein air sur les aérosols biologiques.

The biological defence program at DRDC Valcartier is focused on the detection of biological agents and toxins using photonic detection methods. This involves R&D leading to the production of field portable biological agent detection systems.
