Company
Ottawa, Ontario
NovaFuse is an Ottawa defence-AI company developing multimodal sensor-fusion software that correlates RF, electro-optical, infrared, signals-intelligence, acoustic, text, and drone data into explainable operational tracks at the tactical edge.
NovaFuse may support edge data processing through cited deployable compute, data conditioning, inference, visualization, communications, or training workflows used close to operational users.
Company
Burnaby, British Columbia
Orbital Research is a Burnaby satellite-communications company that designs and manufactures microwave frequency converters and related RF components for ground, airborne and space systems.
The converter can interface microwave antennas with software-defined radios and onboard processors, but it provides RF conversion rather than the processing function itself.
Company
Oakville, Ontario
Perceptive Space Systems is an Ontario AI and aerospace company developing space-environment intelligence for commercial, civil and defence operators.
Asset-specific impact assessment could turn environmental data into operational risk cues, but the public record does not establish deployment at a tactical edge node.
Company
Brantford, Ontario
SLACAN Industries is a Brantford designer and manufacturer of electrical-utility, transmission, communications and structural-steel hardware.
Communications-infrastructure hardware could support resilient physical connectivity for distributed systems; this is a derived infrastructure alignment, not a defence-system assertion.
Company
Calgary, Alberta
SolarSteam is a Calgary renewable-energy company developing modular concentrated-solar systems that provide industrial heat and cooling using proprietary mirror and enclosure technology.
Modular thermal management and remote controls could be relevant to energy-constrained remote processing or infrastructure sites; this is a derived mapping, not a defence procurement assertion.
Company
Edmonton, Alberta
Space Engine Systems is an Edmonton aerospace company describing reusable multi-fuel propulsion and air-breathing engine technology for spaceplane and hypersonic research applications.
The publicly described Reusable multi-fuel air-breathing propulsion could contribute to autonomous patrol, sensing or mission-data decisions. This is a derived mapping for reviewer assessment and does not establish classified demand, procurement eligibility, endorsement or operational adoption.
