HI-RISE - High Integrity RPAS Innovative System Engineering (Eureka ITEA-3)$2.0Mvalue2017start2020end

HI-RISE is a framework within which innovative UAS and innovative uses for UAS can be developed while maintaining sufficient rigor to satisfy regulators responsible for the safety of these systems. The HI-RISE framework will follow the DO-178C standard for airborne aviation software. The framework will be designed to exploit the unique characteristics of UAVs to simplify the certification process and reduce cost.

National RPAS Integration, Qualification, and Defence-Readiness Initiative$900Kvalue2026start2028end

The project involves increasing the level of Canadian content in made-in-Canada RPAS and increasing their suitability for dual-use roles. Increasing Canadian content and suitability for dual-use roles is accomplished by integrating MicroPilot’s autopilot into these made-in-Canada RPAS. Suitability for dual-use roles is further enhanced by enhancements to MicroPilot’s autopilot.
