Medical Intelligence CBRNE Inc. (MEDINT CBRNE Group) has its own wing of Research and Development in the field of Defence and Security.   The company's research projects are not disclosed here. 

The company has been also a partner with Doctor Stephane Bourassa's research for years.  Here are the main topics. 

• CBRNE Defence Research Program For Clinicians (CBRNEDRPC)
• International Multicentric Observational Study
• VIMY Multi-System Research Program (VIMY)
• Programme Gladiator (Gladiator)

Intelligence médicale CBRNE Inc. (Groupe MEDINT CBRNE) possède son propre axe de recherche et développement dans le sector de la défense et sécurité.  Sa recherche n'est pas détaillée ici. 

Depuis des années, la compagnie est aussi partenaire dans les travaux scientifiques du Docteur Stephane Bourassa.  Les principaux sujets sont énumérés comme suit:

• Programme de recherche en défense CBRNE pour les cliniciens (PRDCBRNEC)
• Étude multi-centrique observationnelle internationale
• Programme de recherche VIMY Multi-Système (VIMY)
• Programme Gladiator (Gladiator)
  

This research program aim at reinvigorating the clinical knowledge (including the know-how) and developing technologies in mass casualty management situations in acute care settings/medical extraction from contaminated environment into a clean zone in hospital settings. 

Building on the work begun in 2007, the aim of the research program is to develop a multi-system driven by an artificial intelligence (AI) capability. In turn, VIMY Multi-system uses drones, robotics, and other automated systems to manage mass casualties during disasters, such as chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) attacks.
