Centre for Advanced Defence Research and Enterprise
CADRE-OCE's mission is to counter CBRN threats by supporting defence-industry-academic driven research that strengthens sovereign capabilities and leads to the development of innovative and critical technologies.
The Centre for Advanced Defence Research and Enterprise – Operating in Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Environments (CADRE-OCE) is a new, nationally coordinated initiative. Its purpose is to develop novel innovative technologies that counter existing, new and emerging chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) threats and may have dual-use applications. In addition, the Centre will foster collaborations with trusted partners.
