Projects

We run our own R&D division in defence and security. We also partner with Dr. Stephane Bourassa on four main research topics.

CBRNEDRPC

A defence research program for clinicians. We update clinical knowledge and develop tools for mass casualty management.

VIMY Multi-System Research Program

An AI-driven system that uses drones, robotics, and automation to manage mass casualties during CBRNE attacks.

Gladiator

Mobile labs and multi-task vehicles for scientific research and defence and security work.

International Multicentric Observational Study

Active until 2036. Clinical trial registered as NCT05026645.
