"In the period between 1947 and 2012, Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) and its predecessors conducted a wide variety of research activities in the Canadian Arctic. This book attempts to summarize the Arctic work done by nine separate Establishments in that time period, as well as by some early expeditions run by Defence Research Board (DRB) Headquarters. This history has been written in an attempt to provide general information to new employees who are preparing for their first Arctic experiences and to give background material to managers and Canadian Armed Forces personnel with an interest in Arctic activities. Hopefully it will also inform the general public of DRDC's valuable contributions to a better understanding of our Arctic regions and to out claims of sovereignty"--Summary. "Reference Document DRDC-RDDC-2022-D128." Includes bibliographical references (pages 196-201). Includes summary in French.
