Since 2015, Canadian UAVs has been providing innovative drone solutions for commercial and military use. We are 100% Canadian-owned and operated.
Canadian UAVs is the only Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) company to be given a delegation of authority for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) certification from Transport Canada. Our trans-national operations certificate provides us with permission to fly at heights and ranges deemed to be safe as demonstrated through out own internal, approved, processes. Simply put - we can fly anywhere at anytime within our proper safety constraints.
Manned Precision Specialists - We bring our manned aviation experience to the table, giving us the highest quality unmanned aviators and equipment ensuring unmatched precision, security and service.
Defence ISR Solutions - As a defence prime contractor with the Canadian Department of National Defence, we can provide unmanned intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) services and are bidders on the Royal Canadian Navy’s Intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) program.
Our Mission is to provide the ecosystem to integrate UAVs into complex airspace. Through this mission, we live the values of Empowered Individuals, Inspired Innovation, Lean Process and Teamwork. Within those values we are committed to practicing non-discriminatory hiring practices, valuing the richness that comes with building a diverse workforce. With the company's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy in place we are dedicated to continue with all efforts to ensure that policy is adhered to at all levels of the organization.
Canadian UAVs operates on the traditional lands of Treaty 7, which comprises the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut'ina, the Iyarhe Nakoda Nations, the Métis Nation (Region 3), and all people who make their homes in Southern Alberta.
Canadian UAVs recognizes Indigenous self determination and their right to protect and respect their ancestral and traditional land base. We recognize the importance of a meaningful reconciliation with the Indigenous people of Canada.
Canadian UAVs was founded in 2015 with the vision that Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) (also known as Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS)) should be treated in the same way as traditional manned aircraft.
