Who We Are

The war in Ukraine triggered an explosive growth of Ukrainian drone technologies. Over the past two years, Ukraine has become an undisputed World leader in the development and use of combat drones. At this time, both the USA and European Union are negotiating technology-sharing agreements on drone technologies with Ukraine.

Meanwhile, the possible use of Ukrainian drone platforms expends far beyond protecting Canadian coastlines and other military or law enforcement applications. Some models of Ukrainian drones can accurately deliver substantial payloads (in hundreds of kilograms) to destinations thousands of miles away at a fraction of the cost of other delivery methods, while being remotely controlled from elsewhere in Canada or guided by AI. They can also stay airborne for up to 20 hours, which makes them an unparalleled platform for surveying, monitoring, or patrolling applications. Ukrainian sea or aerial drones can be instrumental in resolving logistic challenges in delivering goods and services to remote First Nations or other distant communities. Other potential applications include environmental monitoring, such as early detection and suppression of forest fires and trucking environmental changes, pipeline monitoring and critical infrastructure inspection in remote areas, crop health assessment and dusting, rescue missions with real-time information and support, medical deliveries of blood, vaccines or medications, among others.
