ThinkOn and AVSS describe a service that brings telemetry and video from MAVLink-compatible drones into Team Awareness Kit on ThinkOn’s Canadian cloud infrastructure. Users can access the shared operating picture through ATAK-enabled devices, connecting drone feeds with the tools used by teams on the ground.
The partnership includes migration and onboarding support. The announced architecture provides a Canadian hosting and integration route; an agency deployment still needs a defined aircraft connection, access model and division of service responsibilities.

Reviewer synthesis of the public end state: Canada can build, sustain or control priority aerospace, ammunition, digital, in-service support, sensor, space, specialized manufacturing, training and uncrewed capabilities through domestic strength, trusted partnerships and sovereign access.
Supports: Defence need · Sovereign defence capability areas
Canada needs secure strategic autonomy and reliable access to capabilities that are critical to defending its sovereignty and meeting allied commitments, while reducing exposure to foreign supply-chain and intellectual-property dependencies.
