Beneficiaries of CDE funding include Bubblephone telecoms research company for its C-Thru technology.
C-Thru technology establishes network connections in a tactical communication network, maintains them irrespective of changes in the network environment and uses a unique connection method in case of a wireless connection lost in mountainous terrains.
The technology prioritises communication traffic so that urgent messages always get through C-Thru first. It is expected to be used in future Bowman communications systems.
CDE also funded Pneumacare for proof-of-concept research into video-analysis technology to monitor lung function in a non-invasive way during casualty transportation.
