Enhance defence-grade unmanned aerial systems for border surveillance in Canada

CIIP - UK Multisector - SALUS - Sustainable Autonomous Long-Endurance Uncrewed Systems$498Kvalue2025start2027end

“As part of the international consortium project “CIIP - UK Multisector - SALUS - Sustainable Autonomous Long-Endurance Uncrewed Systems”, this project will advance safe and scalable beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations for uncrewed aerial systems. Canadian UAVs will focus on integrating its Sparrowhawk radar-based detect-and-avoid system into long-endurance UAV platforms, conducting field trials, and validating performance against regulatory standards. The goal is to enable sustainable offshore monitoring, industrial inspections, and regional connectivity applications. The project w

A Web-Based UAV Mission Planning and Asset Management System for Data Processing and Analytics$300Kvalue2023start2024end

Tasker is a new web-based system designed to reduce the complexities associated with UAV use in the aerospace industry. Tasker integrates companywide systems to deliver a one-stop solution for planning, quoting, resourcing, tracking, maintaining, reporting and data analytics to enable more complex UAV operations in Canadian Airspace.

Tasker Safety Management System: Expanding Accessibility and Integration to Streamline UAV Operations for the enablement of Industrial Drone Use$200Kvalue2025start2026end

Tasker is a web-based safety management system designed to reduce the complexities associated with UAV use in the aerospace industry. Tasker is currently available as a commercial product but is in the early stages of growth and trying to scale through greater user adoption. These concerns will be addressed in two parts, first with the release of a mobile app and second increasing automation through integration with common UAV Ground Control Systems (GCS). The proposed project would take an existing prototype mobile application and develop it for commercial release. Additionally, the proje

Cyber Hardening of the Sparrowhawk Radar Network for Enhanced Monitoring of Secured Airspace$75.0Kvalue2026start2027end

This project aims to advance the Sparrowhawk Radar system by enhancing its security features and streamlining its deployment process, making it suitable for dual-use applications in both commercial and defence sectors. The Sparrowhawk Radar is currently commercially available and can be deployed as a single installation or part of a network of installations to reduce blind spots and increase confidence in airspace monitoring. As interest from Canadian defence customers grows, establishing a secure and efficient network of Sparrowhawk systems has become paramount.

Collision avoidance for Commercial UAVs$50.0Kvalue2018start2019end

Canadian UAVs is creating a ground-based radar solution to provide an airspace collision avoidance mechanisms for UAVs. This will allow operations beyond line of sight, which drastically reduce cost per meter inspected for a many enterprise clients.

Youth Software Development Engineer$30.0Kvalue2023start2024end

In 2022, Canadian UAVs received the first Canada-wide BVLOS permit for UAV flight. Flying UAVs at such a large scale has uncovered the challenge of handling a rapidly increasing volume of data generated from these operations. This data must be collected from UAV operators, processed to provide actionable intelligence, and delivered to customers promptly. However, the current methods for managing this data are manual and slow, requiring constant intervention and leading to delays in the process. The Firm's solution is to extend the functionality of existing proprietary software to automate par
