Adaptive Autonomous Flight / Pilot Assist$88.2Kvalue2019start2020end

SafeFlight – Adaptive Autonomous Flight with Pilot Assist - This project will enable the semi-autonomous flight of UAVs in an underground environment and further their penetration into the market by removing industry apprehension in regards to manually controlling the hardware. As this is currently a significant hurdle in the technology's adoption, this innovation is expected to increase the acceptance of this hardware by clients, as well as the ability of this hardware to function in more diverse environments.

Adapting Safesight Uncrewed Systems and Spatial Intelligence for Canadian Defence$75.0Kvalue2026start2027end

This project will produce a Defence-aligned technical assessment and design package that defines how SafeSight’s platforms will keep pace with emerging technologies, accelerate digitalization, and maintain interoperability with allies.

Software Product Development - Francisco$63.0Kvalue2021start2023end

SafeSight has continued to expand and grow our products and service capabilities through extraordinary conditions created by the global pandemic. This has required us to focus on the refinement and performance of our core products. This project is focused on evolving our basic drone intelligence for real-time rendering and confined space operations. These innovations will apply to both our LiDAR inspection and Scout/Mine rescue platforms. The project will not only support our "ease of use strategy" but will support our globalization program defined in our Scale Up and Out project.

Continued development of semi-autonomous obstacle avoidance drone for underground mining$25.0Kvalue2018start2019end

As we move to transform the mining industry with applied drone Technology we are building on the base platform of our DB2 unit to create a DB3 unit that has the ability to support the pilot with recognize environments and avoid collisions. Our current unit in operation supports imaging and 360 degree LiDAR. Our Project goal is to increase "flight support" and decrease the needed skill level of the pilot. This will make the technology more accessible to a broader group of operational staff, reduce the risk of loss during flight and increase the success rate in complex flight plans. Over all the
