Designed proudly in Canada
Technology built for the real world.
We design aircraft, sensing systems, electronics, and software for industrial teams working in demanding environments.
OLAD / Object-Local Active Depth
Object-local active depth for airborne situational awareness.
What we engineer
Strong technology starts with a clear understanding of the job.
We work across hardware, embedded control, sensing, and software so every part of the system supports the people who operate and maintain it.
Uncrewed systems
We bring the aircraft, payload, flight electronics, ground control, and long-term support together as one system.
AIR / PAYLOAD 02Sensing & edge compute
Connected sensors, edge video, active ranging, and local processing designed around the information your team needs.
SENSE / PROCESS 03Automation
Operator-assist hardware and software that reduce repetitive work while keeping people in control.
CONTROL / ASSIST 04Field data systems
Mobile capture, telemetry, monitoring, and review tools that keep information connected to the work in the field.
CAPTURE / REVIEW
OLAD / Object-Local Active Depth
See the scene. Measure what matters.
OLAD brings camera imagery, thermal sensing, active ranging, and onboard computing into a single airborne payload. It is designed to help an operator follow objects in view, understand distance and confidence, and focus attention where it is needed.
See how OLAD fits the UAV system01
Observe
Electro-optical and thermal sensing establish the scene.
02
Measure
Active ranging adds object-local distance to selected regions.
03
Track
Onboard compute maintains object identity and confidence state.
04
Inform
The operator receives range, age, quality, and degraded-state cues.

How we work
From a field problem to a working system.
We listen first, engineer around the real constraints, and test what we build. The result is a practical path from a difficult problem to a system your team can support.
Discover
We start with the operating environment, the decision to improve, and the constraints already in place.
Engineer
Hardware, software, sensing, interfaces, and support are designed as one practical configuration.
Test
We test each configuration and use what we learn to guide the next decision.
Support
Handoff, maintenance, repair, upgrades, and field feedback stay part of the work.
