Simulates crashes up to 100 km/hr for certification of transportation safety systems. The only facility of its kind in Canada.
Noise Research Facility![](/web/20061026090522im_/http://www.drdc-rddc.gc.ca/images/bar.gif)
A facility for replicating the sounds to which operational personnel are exposed, such as that in helicopter cabins, tracked vehicles and ship engine rooms.
Diving Research and Training Facilities![](/web/20061026090522im_/http://www.drdc-rddc.gc.ca/images/bar.gif)
The Diving Research Facility (DRF) simulates underwater environments for military and commercial applications. Human-rated with maximum pressure 17.2 MPa (1725 metres), and 2.4-m diameter by 3.7-m long ocean simulator. The Diving Training Facility is used to train hyperbaric system operators and to conduct scientific experiments not requiring the extensive capabilities of the DRF. Human-rated with maximum pressure 1.03 MPa (103 metres) and 1.8-m diameter by 2.7-m long ocean simulator.
