There is a Security Clearance associated with this requirement. 

Requirement :
Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) Atlantic Research
Centre is currently conducting research on radar absorbing
materials for naval platforms.  This research includes an
investigation of composite materials that could be used to build
structural components for a naval vessel.  These composite
components may act as a load bearing structure and will have low
reflectivity over a wide range of frequencies, incident angles,
and polarizations.  Both passive and active (adaptive) composite
components will be examined during this investigation.  Small
microwave (radar) absorbing structural test panels constructed
of composite materials need to be designed, fabricated, and
evaluated during the course of this research.  The purpose of
this contract is to design, produce, and characterize those test
panels.

This requirement has been reviewed and it has been determined
that the Intellectual Property arising from this requirement
should rest with the Crown.
