Platform Catalog

Made-to-Measure
UAV Platforms.

From 20 kg SAR to sub-250 g intercept — every platform is configured to the mission. No catalog SKU ships without a program discussion.

Heavy-lift UAV.

Long-endurance VTOL airframes for search & rescue, infrastructure inspection, and tactical overwatch — engineered around the 20 kg St. Bernard platform.

Sub-2 kg Tactical.

Pocketable, hand-launched intercept and reconnaissance airframes tuned for close-range, contested, and indoor operations — built around the FROAK platform.

Counter-UAV Systems.

A family of counter-UAV systems — fixed-site, mobile, and dismounted that detect, classify, and defeat hostile drones across the full threat spectrum. Each system is configured to the asset, the airspace, and the rules of engagement.

MISSION OUTCOME

Locate a missing person across 40 km² of mixed mountainous terrain in under 30 minutes, with a single operator and no flight training beyond SkyNet onboarding.

Search & Rescue — UAV

St. Bernard

// Do More in Less Time with Higher Accuracy

A professional-grade SAR UAV developed through a multi-year, $1.5M research collaboration with SII Canada, Concordia University, and LikeABird — funded by CRIAQ, MITACS, and Investissement Québec. Systematically surveys mountainous terrain and ski resorts. Autonomously detects and localizes distressed persons via AI-powered multi-modal sensors.

Key Capabilities

Semi-Autonomous BVLOS
Systematic survey of mountain and resort terrain without direct line of sight.
Multi-Modal Sensors
RGB cameras, LeddarTech LiDAR, and RECCO/ARVA avalanche sensing with ML-powered human detection via TensorFlow 1.14.
Distress Recognition
Computer vision identifies distress gestures. ARVA + RECCO avalanche beacon integration.
LiDAR Obstacle Avoidance
LeddarTech M16 & Vu8 LiDAR with customized ML obstacle avoidance module.
5G Encrypted Link
LTE/3G/4G/5G via private VPN. Encrypted M2M private APN (beyAIR SOLO + beySIM).
ROS Flight System
ROS-based FMS with parallel module execution. Automatic takeoff, mission, and landing.
