The objective of this project is to develop new Canadian-made add-on armor for military vehicles. The design will be informed and refined using performance data acquired during ballistic testing and through predictive computational models. This project is motivated by a recent increase in the fielding of larger weapon systems in conflict zones and the urgent national security need to improve current add-on armor designs for weight savings and performance. When completed, the project will: 1. improve national security and save the lives of soldiers, 2. lead to new discoveries on the response of materials under ballistic impact, and 3. help augment Canada's reputation as a global leader in the manufacturing of defence products that will lead to job creation and economic growth.To accomplish our objective, we have formed a complementary team that leverages existing collaborations from the University of Alberta (lead), General Dynamics Land Systems- Canada, Defence Research and Development Canada, NP Aerospace, the University of British Columbia, and York University. The research will offer a world-class training program to students that emphasizes: advanced technical and professional training; immersive exchange programs and workshops; and hiring for equity, diversity and inclusion through selection of team members and an unbiased recruitment process.

该项目的目标是开发加拿大制造的新型军用车辆附加装甲。将使用弹道测试期间获得的性能数据和预测计算模型来通知和完善设计。该项目的动机是最近在冲突地区部署大型武器系统的增加，以及国家安全迫切需要改进当前的附加装甲设计以减轻重量和提高性能。完成后，该项目将： 1. 改善国家安全并拯救士兵的生命， 2. 带来弹道冲击下材料响应的新发现，以及 3. 帮助提高加拿大作为全球国防制造领导者的声誉创造就业机会和经济增长的产品。为了实现我们的目标，我们组建了一个互补团队，利用阿尔伯塔大学（牵头）、加拿大通用动力陆地系统公司、加拿大国防研究与发展公司、NP 航空航天公司的现有合作，大学不列颠哥伦比亚省和约克大学。该研究将为学生提供世界一流的培训计划，强调：先进的技术和专业培训；沉浸式交流计划和研讨会；通过选择团队成员和公正的招聘流程，实现公平、多元化和包容性的招聘。
