Canadian UAVs

We are very excited, honoured and humbled to be part of this historic moment.

Canadian UAVs is excited to work with Transport Canada to pilot "Beyond Visual Line of Sight" pipeline and asset inspections and test its ground-based radar system.

Thank you to everyone at Transport and Infrastructure in Canada and to our stakeholders for their vision and hard work.

Drone trials take flight! We have selected four organizations to test flying drones beyond visual line-of-sight in 2018.
Congratulations to the selected industry innovators and projects:
1. Canada Post will explore the deployment of drones in Canada’s remote and rural regions.
2. Canadian UAVs will conduct a long-range pipeline survey in Western Alberta to prove the feasibility and capability of using a ground-based radar system.
3. Drone Delivery Canada will explore using drones for the safe delivery of food and medical services in Moosonee, Ontario.
4. ING Robotic Aviation will conduct a trial to perform infrastructure surveys in western Canada with support from key partners.
Beyond visual-line-of-sight drone operations will unlock the commercial potential for the industry, with future applications in long-range infrastructure inspections, precision agriculture, delivery solutions, public safety, and, eventually, in public transportation.
These pilot projects support Budget 2017’s commitment to work with key industry partners to advance transportation innovation. They build on the success of Transport Canada’s 2017 pilot projects with public safety agencies and the department’s drone trials for use in the Canadian Arctic.
We look forward to working with industry through these trials to provide hands-on experience operating drones in real-world conditions. Stay tuned for more info!
