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.

该项目的目的是为军车开发新的加拿大制造的附加装甲。该设计将在弹道测试和预测计算模型中获取的性能数据进行通知和完善。该项目的激励是由于最近在冲突区域中较大武器系统的野外增加以及国家安全需要改善当前的装甲设计以节省重量和性能。 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航空航天，不列颠哥伦比亚大学和约克大学。这项研究将为强调的学生提供世界一流的培训计划：高级技术和专业培训；沉浸式交流计划和研讨会；并通过选择团队成员和公正的招聘过程来招聘公平，多样性和包容性。
