Quadcopter and long-range fixed-wing autonomous drone platforms.
The UAS systems include both quadcopter and long-range fixed-wing platforms optimized for civilian, industrial, and public-sector missions, with architectures that can also support government and security applications when required. Our approach emphasizes mission adaptability: same platform families, configured through payload kits, autonomy options, and operator workflows to match real-world constraints. The flight stack is Canadian designed and manufactured, supporting defense and policing requirements that prioritize non-dependence on adversarial actors, countries, and supply chains. All systems are engineered for Canadian cold-weather and Arctic operations, with environmental design considerations for sub-zero deployment.
Built to serve demanding civil and industrial work (inspection, mapping, monitoring, emergency response) while remaining configurable for defense and security needs such as ISR, perimeter surveillance, and time-sensitive government missions—subject to policy, compliance, and customer requirements.
Modular payload bays, configurable autonomy stacks, and integration pathways for sensors, radios, and mission planning tools—so teams can deploy a consistent platform family across different programs without reinventing their operational workflow each time.
Platforms
Vertical takeoff precision and long-range coverage—deployed individually or together depending on the mission set. Quadcopter platforms emphasize local precision and rapid setup. Fixed-wing platforms emphasize endurance, coverage, and operational efficiency over large areas.
VTOL convenience for precision operations
Quadcopter platforms are optimized for missions that require controlled hover, repeatable positioning, and the ability to operate in restricted or improvised launch environments. This includes close-in infrastructure inspection, urban or tree-lined environments, rapid-response deployment, and localized ISR/perimeter overwatch where stable station-keeping is critical to collecting usable data.
Efficient wide-area endurance
Long-range fixed-wing platforms are optimized for persistent coverage, corridor missions, and wide-area ISR where endurance and efficient cruise provide a major operational advantage. This includes mapping and surveying at scale, long-distance monitoring of pipelines or power corridors, border and coastal monitoring workflows, and reconnaissance tasks where time-on-station and coverage are the primary objective.
Capabilities
Core building blocks that scale from civil deployments to higher-requirement government and security operations. The emphasis is on practical mission execution: reliable autonomy, configurable payload integration, operator-aligned workflows, and the resilience needed for real operating environments.
Repeatable outcomes, operator-aligned control
Support for autonomy levels that match the operator’s SOP—ranging from flight assistance to higher automation—so teams can run consistent missions with defined routes, geofences, and predictable behaviors. The goal is repeatability: the same mission plan produces comparable results across sorties for analysis and decision-making.
Designed for degraded GNSS environments
Configurations intended to support operations where GNSS is degraded, intermittent, or unreliable. Depending on the mission kit, this can include navigation aids and autonomy features that improve operational continuity and reduce risk when GPS quality is limited by terrain, interference, or operational constraints.
Mission kits that adapt without redesign
Payload integration designed around modularity: imaging, mapping sensors, EO/IR packages, and custom payload kits can be integrated through standardized interfaces. This reduces integration time and helps organizations scale deployments across multiple mission types while maintaining a consistent platform baseline.
Fit into existing workflows and systems
Integration points for mission planning, telemetry, and data workflows—supporting civil and enterprise operations as well as government environments. The objective is compatibility: enabling teams to integrate UAS outputs into existing toolchains (planning, command-and-control, analytics) with minimal friction.
Built for operational tempo
Focus on setup time, maintainability, and predictable field support to reduce downtime. Practical deployment includes straightforward logistics, serviceability in field conditions, and mission packages that can be swapped or reconfigured without requiring extensive engineering effort.
Designed for diverse environments
Designed with real operating conditions in mind, including harsh weather, variable terrain, and logistics constraints. The intent is operational continuity: configurations that allow teams to maintain mission effectiveness across environments where consumer-grade systems become unreliable or constrained.
Optimized for safe, repeatable data capture in inspection, mapping, monitoring, and emergency response workflows—where operational reliability and decision-quality data are more valuable than raw speed or novelty.
Configurable for ISR, border/perimeter surveillance, force protection support, and integration into broader security systems—emphasizing mission adaptability, operational tempo, and workflows that align with regulated environments and higher-requirement programs (subject to policy and compliance).
Applications
Balanced mission coverage across civil, industrial, public-sector, government, defense, and security. Each mission type can be mapped to a platform choice (quadcopter vs fixed-wing) and then refined through payload and autonomy options.
Infrastructure inspection
Repeatable inspection of utilities, bridges, industrial sites, rail, and critical assets—capturing consistent imagery and telemetry so teams can monitor change over time, reduce manual risk, and minimize downtime during inspections.
Mapping & surveying
Support photogrammetry and survey workflows with consistent mission execution and data capture—enabling land-use planning, project documentation, volume estimation, and large-area mapping without relying on ad-hoc flights.
Environmental monitoring
Forestry, coastal, wetlands, and habitat monitoring—collecting observation data with minimal disruption while enabling scheduled re-flights that produce comparable datasets across seasons or incident timelines.
Emergency response support
Situational awareness, scene mapping, and search support for disaster response and SAR teams—rapid deployment tools that improve visibility, reduce time-to-information, and help coordinate response in dynamic environments.
ISR & reconnaissance
Day/night ISR support through mission-configured payloads and autonomy options—enabling observation and reconnaissance tasks where consistent collection, time-on-station, and repeatable routes provide mission value.
Border & perimeter surveillance
Persistent monitoring of sensitive areas with scalable coverage strategies—supporting patrol routes, perimeter overwatch, and rapid response to cues from external sensors or operators.
Force protection support
Situational awareness for bases, forward sites, and critical infrastructure protection—supporting overwatch missions, route observation, and monitoring tasks where deployment speed and reliable visibility are essential.
Maritime domain awareness
Coastal and near-shore monitoring workflows where endurance and coverage are critical—supporting patrol of large littoral areas, vessel observation tasks, and situational awareness over wide maritime regions.
Counter-UAS support
Support detection/track and response workflows as part of a broader C-UAS system-of-systems—integrating UAS assets into layered sensing and response architectures for regulated environments.
Sentinel Counter-UAS
An integrated detect-to-defeat counter-UAS system that closes the gap between detection and response. Expeditionary deployment. Autonomous airborne intercept. Persistent tracking. No fixed infrastructure required.
Detection alone is not enough
Current counter-UAS systems detect and alert — then stop. Once a drone is identified, there is no automated mechanism to investigate the threat, maintain persistent contact, or execute a proportionate response. In austere environments — Arctic, maritime, forward operating bases — traditional operator-intensive models are unsustainable. The gap between awareness and action is where threats succeed.
Sentinel closes the loop
Sentinel delivers a complete operational response—from initial awareness to coordinated action. It detects potential threats, supports informed decision-making, and deploys response units to investigate and maintain visibility. Optional response capabilities can be enabled as required, all within a flexible system designed for rapid deployment without reliance on fixed infrastructure.
System architecture
Reliable detection
A combination of sensors works together to detect and confirm potential drone activity. The system is designed to operate effectively across different conditions and environments, providing early awareness and reducing false alarms.
Smart control system
A central control unit combines sensor inputs into a clear operational picture. It supports decision-making, coordinates system actions, and ensures responses are carried out safely and in line with defined rules.
Autonomous response drones
Response drones can be deployed to investigate and track potential threats. They work together to maintain visibility and provide continuous situational awareness when needed.
Controlled response options
Optional response capabilities can be enabled based on operational requirements and local regulations. All actions are controlled, monitored, and recorded to ensure compliance and accountability.
