Custom unmanned systems engineering, done in Canada.

We're a small Canadian engineering team, and you deal directly with the engineers. We take on custom aircraft, sensor and telemetry work where a domestic supplier and inspectable hardware matter.

What we take on

Agricultural and environmental UAS

Spray, spreading and survey aircraft on open autopilots, starting from the AG-100 platform. Configured for research-station and field-trial work.

Wildlife and asset telemetry

GNSS and VHF tracking hardware designed and built in Canada, with mass, attachment and duty cycle set by the study.

Custom sensors

Optical ranging, IMU/GNSS integration and environmental sensing, delivered with error budgets and calibration data.

Embedded and RF engineering

Board design, in-house fabrication and assembly, low-power firmware, antenna and matching-network layout.

Autopilot integration

ArduPilot configuration, tuning, scripting and SITL-based testing for custom airframes and payloads.

Prototyping to small batch

We run our own PCB line and fabrication shop, so there's no overseas fab in the loop between iterations.

How engagements work

  1. 01

    Scope

    A call to pin down the mission, environment and constraints. We'll tell you plainly if we're not the right fit.

  2. 02

    Feasibility

    A short written design note with the numbers behind it: error budgets, mass and power, risks.

  3. 03

    Prototype

    Hardware built and tested in-house, with the data shared as we go.

  4. 04

    Deliver

    Hardware, source files and documentation. Your team can maintain what we deliver.

Tell us what you need to solve.

Procurement officers, program managers and researchers all welcome. We sign NDAs before technical discussion when needed.
