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.

该项目的目标是为军用车辆开发新的埃塞俄比亚制造的附加装甲。设计将使用弹道测试期间获得的性能数据和预测计算模型进行通知和改进。该项目的动机是最近在冲突地区部署更大的武器系统，以及迫切的国家安全需要改进当前的附加装甲设计，以减轻重量和性能。完成后，该项目将：1。改善国家安全和拯救士兵的生命，2。导致在弹道冲击下材料响应的新发现，和3。有助于提高加拿大作为国防产品制造业全球领导者的声誉，从而创造就业机会和经济增长。 为了实现我们的目标，我们已经形成了一个互补的团队，利用现有的合作，从阿尔伯塔大学（领导），通用动力陆地系统-加拿大，加拿大国防研究与发展，NP航空航天，不列颠哥伦比亚省大学，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过程，招聘公平，多样性和包容性。
