Wanted: event recorders to help research effects on armoured vehicles in Afghanistan - more in Statement of Work (6 page PDF) here.
Canada’s fleet of armoured vehicles in Afghanistan is being equipped with special devices to track the effect of bomb blasts.The 2,000 data recorders that the military is ordering — essentially a black box for ground vehicles — will be required to study the acceleration and rotation of the vehicles as well as the internal pressure caused by the blast waves.The pressure that results from the explosion can lead to traumatic brain injuries and other internal organ damage — one of the unique injuries that has stemmed from the decade-long war in Afghanistan.Though combat operations ended over the summer and Canadian troops are now involved in a three-year training mission, the military says the devices are needed to fill “a gap in information/data gathered regarding incidents in theatre.” ....
Wanted:Someone to teach security and survival to Kingston CF members to work outside the wire (try here - PDF - if MERX link doesn't work)
The military is seeking security and survival training for Canadian soldiers who must “operate outside the wire” in Afghanistan, a mission that had been originally been pitched as low-risk.And they want to give the work to a private American contractor.The revelations raise questions about why Canada must turn to the United States when a generation of soldiers has gained combat expertise risking life and limb over the last few years in Kandahar.It also tests the Conservative government’s assurance that the more than 900 soldiers involved in the 2011-2014 training mission would be operating largely out of harm’s way.“Deployed (Canadian Forces) members now have a standing task to operate outside of the wire (OTW) to fulfill its tasks while deployed,” says a government document soliciting firms to bid on a training contract ....

Christie®, the leader in simulation projection display and visualization solutions, today announced that Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) -Toronto, an agency of the Canadian Department of National Defence, has selected the award-winning Christie Matrix StIM™ projection system as part of a major technology upgrade to train threat reaction by aircrew of the CC130 J-model transport aircraft and other military aircrafts. Stationed in Canada’s new 17,000 square meter Air Mobility Training Centre in Trenton, Ontario, the two projectors are installed in the Department’s Hercules Observer Trainer (HOT) simulator. The HOT includes a correctly-sized mock-up of a CC130 J-model transport aircraft with a re-configurable crew station, swappable door and window, overlooking a 1.5 meter radius hemispherical screen and computer-generated images of gunfire, missile, and airborne threats. The Royal Canadian Air Force uses the revolutionary HOT simulator to train loadmasters in “true-to-life” scenarios. HOT simulates combat and search and rescue scenarios, training military personnel to become faster and more accurate in detecting threats and search targets ....
