Up to $50 million over 2 years to establish secure, mission-oriented research hubs for defence-critical technologies. Two streams: quantum technologies and uncrewed systems. Facilities are not required to be accredited to Level II (Secret) at the time of application — proposals must instead demonstrate a credible plan to achieve accreditation. Requires a consortium of at least 2 eligible Canadian organizations, and no more than 50% of eligible costs may be incurred outside Canada.
