Contract Details

This Supply Arrangement will establish a pre-qualified supplier pool for Uncrewed and Autonomous Systems (UxS), counter-UxS capabilities, communications and data systems, engineering and integration services, testing and training, and innovation and experimentation activities. The DDI Marketplace is designed to provide Canada with rapid access to emerging technologies and operational capabilities through a flexible and streamlined procurement process.

What is the Defence Drone Initiative?

The Government of Canada launched the Defence Drone Initiative (DDI) to accelerate the development, testing, adaptation, and production of uncrewed and autonomous systems for the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG). Led collaboratively by the Department of National Defence and the Defence Investment Agency (DIA), the initiative will establish a competitive supply arrangement that connects operational requirements with Canadian innovation and creates a more agile pathway to develop, acquire and integrate these technologies.
