    Amendment 1 - Questions and Answers

    The Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security Program (IDEaS), on behalf of the Department of National Defence (DND), is releasing this Request For Information (RFI) in order to engage the innovation community and gain their feedback on a collection of specific DND/CAF defence and security challenges for which DND/CAF intends to provide future opportunity in Sandbox test environments to selected Applicants. No submission or selection of such Applicants is being made at this time.

    Within the IDEaS Program, Sandboxes are an opportunity for Participants to test and demonstrate their solutions to published Sandbox Challenges in a DND/CAF provided test environment and test scenario, receiving observational feedback from DND/CAF experts and potential users. Participants are not paid to attend the Sandbox, nor are they charged a fee to participate.

    This RFI describes and invites:

    1. Comments on the concept of an IDEaS Sandbox in general; and
    2. Comments on specific DND/CAF Challenges for which an IDEaS Sandbox is notionally proposed. 

    This RFI includes a description of five Challenges and associated Sandboxes DND/CAF is expecting to conduct in 2019 if there is sufficient interest. This RFI will help determine which ones are done, and in what order. The RFI does not commit Canada to conduct any specific number of Sandboxes, enter into any contracts, or procure any goods or services.
