DRDC Power and Energy S and T Option Analysis and Recommendations: A Response to Cross-Cutting Client S and T Requirements

Abstract

This Document Report on an option analysis and ensuing recommendations for the way-forward for DRDC Power and Energy (P and E) S and T activities at the request of ADM(S and T). This request also coincides with the development of the DND/CAF Defence Operational Energy Strategy (DOES), which is an L0 initiative led by ADM(IE) that identifies specific energy-related targets to be achieved by DND/CAF with the aim of achieving greater operational energy efficiencies while maintaining, or improving, existing DND/CAF capabilities. The option analysis and subsequent recommendations are based on an assessment of the current state of P and E S and T activities within DRDC as well as consultations with strategic documents (including the DOES), the Canadian Joint Operational Command (CJOC), and the DRDC Directorates of the Army, Air Force and Navy portfolios. Four scenarios were investigated for the option analysis, which ranged from maintaining the status quo with current resources to having a formal program structure with significantly increased resources.
