AVSS’s Precision Avalanche Management System combines drone-delivered SnowDart payloads with geozoned mission planning and operational records for professional avalanche-control teams. Its published concept includes surface and air-detonation options, ground-control software and analytics for reviewing mission performance.
The workflow links where the aircraft may operate, where a payload is deployed and how the result is recorded. AVSS reports Transport Canada SFOC approval for this work and describes validation tests in Jasper National Park during February and March 2026 with government collaborators through Innovative Solutions Canada.
Technical detail
Core features
SnowDart payload delivery for avalanche mitigation
Geozoned mission planning and ground-control software
Company-described surface and air-detonation options
Operational records and mission-performance analytics

Avalanche management
Use & integration
Recorded applications
Professional avalanche risk management
These describe the reviewed application scope, not confirmed deployments, released requirements or procurement eligibility.
Evidence of maturity
AVSS’s May 2026 account reports Jasper field-validation tests in February and March. Its separate SFOC announcement concerns operating authorization; the applicable authorization conditions and the field-test results serve different purposes when defining a deployment.
