These describe the reviewed application scope, not confirmed deployments, released requirements or procurement eligibility.
Evidence of maturity
NRC's C$155,000 contribution ran October 1, 2024–March 6, 2026 for ultrasonic subsurface-defect detection in flat materials. Innostrat continues to describe portable NDT R&D; the expired agreement does not establish a completed, certified or commercially delivered instrument.
Commercial availability
The public record supports research and development and an enquiry route, but no standard orderable ultrasonic instrument or independently qualified production configuration was established.
Integration and verification
Readiness
A technology readiness level is not established by the reviewed public sources.
Reviewed connections
No reviewed Mission area or released Defence need connection is currently published.
