The main objective of the Technology Demonstration Program (TDP) is to impact future defence capabilities by demonstrating the military utility of emerging concepts and technologies.
The TDP sponsors approximately 40 defence research and development projects with an average funding value of $6 million. Typically, six new projects are selected from a pool of proposals each year.
TDP projects are collaborative in nature and usually require some form of meaningful investment by all stakeholders.
