The document summarizes a technology roadmapping project for soldier systems being led by Industry Canada in partnership with the Department of National Defence and other government and industry stakeholders. It provides an overview of the objectives, governance structure, phases and planned workshops of the Soldier Systems Technology Roadmap project, which aims to support modernization efforts and facilitate collaboration between DND and industry on developing technologies for future soldiers.

Thanks, Mike. What I would like to do it to give a quick explanation of technology roadmapping, describe our experiences at Industry Canada with Technology Roadmaps, provide an introduction to the Soldier Systems Technology Roadmap, and the governance structure, particularly the Steering Committee and the Technical Sub-Committees.
Industry Canada is involved with Technology Roadmaps on a sectoral or sub-sectoral basis. The theory behind technology roadmapping is to determine where you are at the moment; then what the market demands will be in 5-10 years. The gap between where you are now and where you need to be to meet future market demands is what a Technology Roadmap is all about. The Roadmaps are developed through a series of face to face workshops- the first is a visioning exercises; then products or services; then technologies; then knitting them together.
Top pick a few examples to highlight: The Aerospace Collaborative R&D Office at the National Research Council was established to facilitate the implementation of the Aerospace Roadmap by the Aerospace Industries Association. An Electronic Commerce/Electronic Data Interchange (EC/EDI) project was begun in the Aerospace manufacturing sector. The Aerospace Environmental TRM was one of the successful candidates for the first Business Led Networks of Centres of Excellence 4 year, $11million for technology development; the Lean Logistics TRM identified skills as a key issue, and a Sector Council was established by HRSDC to determine future skills requirement; and the Marine and Ocean Technologies TRM (DM Committee)
Executive Steering Committee (ESC) 10 industry and 10 government, 2 support and 1 facilitator co-chairs from industry and government to provide direction and general guidance for the development of the TRM forum for exchange of views Industry positions on the ESC filled by industry co-chairs of the Technical Sub-Committees
Definition phase (2008-2009) Governance Collaboration tool development Development phase (2009-2010) Workshops Validating the vision Finding/validating gaps and niches Establishing the links between technology and capability needs/timings Recommendations for future R&D projects addressing gaps/needs Implementation phase (2010-2018) Annual Soldier Systems Workshop Continued dialogue with Collaboration tools Sponsored/Unsolicited focused R&D projects Revision of roadmap plan to adapt to change of vision or external drivers as needed
