TACTIQL may support autonomous patrol and monitoring by improving the ingestion, assurance, fusion, analysis, or communication of data from crewed and uncrewed sensing platforms.
Company
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
See the Canadian systems behind submarine detection at sea. From its Dartmouth operation, Ultra Maritime develops and builds towed arrays in Canada and manufactures or integrates sonobuoys, hull-mounted sonar, containerized Sea Tracker systems, and lifecycle support for Royal Canadian Navy and allied undersea-warfare programs.
The system is designed for uncrewed and non-traditionally crewed platforms, creating a credible path to add persistent undersea sensing to autonomous maritime patrol concepts.
Company
Montreal, Quebec
Volta Space Technologies is a Montreal space-power company developing optical wireless power systems that transmit energy to compact receivers on lunar, orbital, aerial and remote terrestrial platforms.
