Soldier Systems Technology Roadmap (SSTRM)

The Soldier Systems Technology Roadmap (SSTRM) is a government-industry collaboration aimed at enhancing the operational effectiveness of the future Canadian soldier while increasing the competitiveness of Canadian industry through innovation.

• Learn about the SSTRM Implementation Capstone Report and Action Plan
• Submit an R&D proposal 

 To date, the Soldier Systems Technology Roadmap (SSTRM) has involved over 1500 participants from industry, academia, government and the Canadian Forces working collaboratively through a series of workshops to produce both the Development Phase and Outcome needed in the identification of capability needs for the future Canadian Forces' soldier and the necessary enabling technologies to meet those needs. The results of these efforts, the Soldier Systems Technology Roadmap: Capstone Report and Action Plan, provides a roadmap to future innovation to help industry and academia focus their research efforts to take advantage of future commercial opportunities at home and abroad.

For the implementation of the SSTRM, the S&T community — industry, academia, and government — is invited to submit research and development proposals that address the technology needs in the Capstone Report and Action Plan. Given the wide scope of soldier systems-related technologies, those with military and non-military expertise are encouraged to participate.
