DRDC Suffield

Located at CFB Suffield , DRDC Suffield is home to the Chemical/Biological Forensic Research Lab, and a host of other CB defence research labs, including Canada's small scale facility for the production of Schedule 1 Substances permitted under the Chemical Weapons Convention .

The Military Engineering facilities are engaged in the testing of rockets, explosives, new weapon systems, vehicle components and equipment, and house a Non-Metallic Laboratory made of polyurethane foam coated with sprayed gypsum and rubberized plastic used to make very low noise magnetic and low frequency electromagnetic measurements.

The Counter Terrorism Technology Center focuses on training first responders for a biological or chemical incident, and to develop guidelines on how to deal with those events.

DRDC Suffield also maintains facilities for the test and evaluation of Anti-personnel Mines to help in the development of demining equipment in association with the Canadian Centre for Mine Action Technologies (CCMAT).
