technology, the defence industry is really
well positioned to deliver on those needs.
Most basic military products, especially
those having to do with the logistics of
deploying abroad, are great technologies
that can be deployed quickly and effec-

nology businesses in the defence industry

is Weatherhaven. In an interview with
CDR, Weatherhaven CEO Ray Castelli
recognized the criticalness of working
with Canada first to then make exports
abroad. "Weatherhaven had partnered
with Canada's DND in the mid-90's to
develop and patent its expandable con-
tainer solution. Over the years, it had sold
some 200 of these expandable containers
to Canada with uses ranging from com-
mand centres, to kitchens to field hospi-
tals. As a result of having Canada as its first
customer and being showcased abroad,
more than 2,500 of these units have since
been sold to more than 20 countries, in-
cluding the U.S., the UK, Brazil, Austra-
lia, Japan, South Africa and Germany, out-
stripping 'home market' sales by a factor of
more than 12 to 1."
