Sample Research and Development Project History
CarteNav has its origin and a strong subsequent history in research and development (R&D) projects. Early examples of projects include the AIS Vessel Management System (AVMS) experimental network under Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) Atlantic. Key research and development projects also include the LUCIE project under DRDC Valcartier, and work for the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) of Australia, both of which ultimately led to the development of AIMS-ISR®.

Current Research and Development Projects
Currently, CarteNav is involved in a Technology Demonstration Project (TDP) for the Canadian Forces, which develops new capability around the core capability inherent in AIMS-ISR ®. Also, we have a Standing Offer with DRDC Atlantic to provide R&D services related to further development of AVMS.

Government Support to Projects
CarteNav has been fortunate to qualify for several projects that provide technology funding through the National Research Council's Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP). Also, several of our business development projects have been supported by the Atlantic Canadian Opportunities Agency (ACOA) and Nova Scotia Business Inc.

The Projects to Develop AIMS-ISR® to an Operational Level
AIMS-ISR ® is operational and flying in the P-3 fleets of New Zealand and Australia. CarteNav has been fortunate in that both air forces provided a significant amount of operational feedback that greatly helped to develop the product.

The Project to Display Shipping Activity
AVMS is in use to meet a variety of requirements. CarteNav's latest project meets the Atlantic Pilotage Authority's (APA) requirement to provide managers and pilots with a picture of vessel movements in and off each of the main harbours served by the APA.

An example of a project that utilizes the Enhanced Tracking System (ETS) is the Canadian project to track ice floes in the Arctic Ocean. Currently, we have 18 ETS 1500s that are regularly deployed to meet that requirement.
