In October, DRDC, @NRCan’s CanmetENERGY, and @RCAF_ARC deployed the first made-in Canada transportable power and energy-generating shelter solution for uncrewed and autonomous operation at an austere Arctic location. #NORADMod 1/2

Last summer, DRDC and @NRCan installed a fuel-cell powered weather station, near our Arctic research camp in Nunavut, to expand and enable future #ArcticScience, while reducing our carbon footprint. #DefenceScience #NORADMod

🌲🍁The @FAO and Canadian Forest Service at @NRCan team up for the 2025 Global Forest Resources Assessment's Remote Sensing Survey to enhance global forest data!🌍📊 ➡️ow.ly/YSZM50Umno0 @OpenForis #GFRA #FRA2025 #forestdata

“It’s #ArcticScienceMonth, and I’m reflecting on my visit to the @NRCan Polar Continental Shelf Program’s (PCSP) Arctic facility in Resolute Bay. “The PCSP provides logistics coordination including transportation, laboratory access and access to specialized field equipment.”

Happy Halloween! These misty photos may look spooky, but if you look closely, you’ll see an autonomous underwater vehicle about to dive during a turbulence-sensing research trial with @DFO_MAR, @NRCan, and @RSI_Turbulence. #DefenceScience

Researchers from DRDC, @DFO_MAR, and @NRCan recently met in the newly opened Facility for Intelligent Marine Systems, or FIMS, in Nova Scotia to enable efficient collaboration on federal science priorities. #DefenceScience
