Autonomous maritime operations and vessel-support services could be relevant to maritime sensing and training contexts; this is a derived mapping, not a documented defence contract.
Company
Ottawa, Ontario
Canadian defence and technology prime with a seven-site national footprint spanning naval combat management, electronic warfare, all-domain systems integration, autonomous-system control software, advanced manufacturing, training, sustainment, and program delivery.
A combat-management layer can integrate and present shipboard underwater-sensor and track data, but platform-specific anti-submarine performance requires reviewer confirmation.
Company
Edmonton, Alberta
Logican Technologies is an Edmonton electronics-manufacturing company providing domestic design support, assembly, integration and lifecycle support for highly regulated, communications and defence products.
Domestic manufacturing of sonar and related defence electronics could support maritime sensing supply chains; this is a derived alignment, not an assertion of a named CAF system.
Company
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
Marimetrics Technologies is a Dartmouth ocean-sensing company developing real-time trace-gas and chemical measurement systems for marine propulsion, aquaculture, environmental science and industrial monitoring.
In-situ chemical and water-quality sensing could contribute environmental context to underwater surveillance and platform-support missions; the mapping is derived.
Company
Panmure Island, Prince Edward Island
MarineNav is an independently owned Prince Edward Island manufacturer of portable Oceanus remotely operated vehicles, marine-grade computers, displays, vessel monitoring systems and fleet-management software.
Tethered cameras and optional payloads could support underwater observation when configured and operated within the documented depth and sensor limits.
Company
Burnaby, British Columbia
OceanWorks International is a British Columbia subsea-engineering company that designs and manufactures manned and unmanned underwater work systems, submarine rescue equipment, launch-and-recovery systems and seafloor network infrastructure.
Handling equipment and instrument interfaces could support an underwater sensing integration programme. DND’s sensor-integration objective supplies a public need; no acoustic detection performance or specific ASW procurement role is established.
Company
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
GSTS is a Canadian maritime AI company developing the OCIANA platform for risk management, intelligence and operational optimization across defence, security, commercial maritime and supply-chain environments.
Maritime intelligence, risk analysis and common-operating-picture capabilities could contribute to wider maritime situational awareness; the connection to underwater ISR is a derived fit only.
Company
Mount Pearl, Newfoundland and Labrador
Pro-Dive Marine Services is a Newfoundland and Labrador-owned marine-services company providing ROV operations, commercial diving, vessels and project support for nearshore and offshore work in Atlantic Canada.
Inspection-class ROV operations and North Atlantic marine support could inform underwater-survey and infrastructure-assessment tasks; this is a derived fit and does not claim current government work.
Company
Ottawa, Ontario
Understand the water conditions shaping a subsea mission. RBR designs and manufactures Canadian oceanographic sensors and loggers for measurements from coastal waters to deep-ocean and polar environments.
Oceanographic measurements can provide environmental context for undersea sensing and operations, although mission-specific integration still requires validation.
Company
Sherbrooke, Quebec
SBQuantum is a Sherbrooke quantum-sensing company developing nitrogen-vacancy diamond magnetometers and magnetic-mapping software for navigation, geophysical, defence, public-safety and space applications.
More sensitive magnetic sensing could support detection and classification of underwater objects, as described by NRC, but this is a derived application and not evidence of a deployed naval system.
Company
Iqaluit, Nunavut
Sedna ROV Services is a 100-percent Inuit-owned Iqaluit marine-technology company providing locally crewed ROV inspections, bathymetry, sea-ice monitoring, wildlife surveys and search-and-rescue support across the Canadian Arctic.
Sedna ROV Services's ROV, underwater-sensing, inspection or mission-support capability could improve rapid collection and interpretation of public-source subsea observations.
Company
St. Catharines, Ontario
Shark Marine Technologies is a St. Catharines underwater-technology manufacturer producing ROVs, diver navigation and delivery systems, sonar, mission software and supporting hardware for military, law-enforcement, scientific and commercial users.
Diver sonar, navigation and reporting could contribute to subsea observation and DND sensor-integration priorities; coverage, detection performance and operational acceptance depend on the full configuration.
Company
Nanaimo, British Columbia
Shift Coastal Technologies is a Nanaimo autonomous-maritime systems integrator that combines platforms, sensing or effecting payloads, onboard compute, communications and command infrastructure into field-deployable systems.
A modular surface carrier with subsea payload options could support collection within DND sensor-integration priorities; no standalone ASW performance or selected procurement role is established.
Company
Clarenville, Newfoundland and Labrador
Bring clear underwater imagery into inspection, survey, and remote-operation workflows. SubC Imaging combines Canadian cameras, lights, lasers, recording software, and remote systems from Newfoundland and Labrador.
Integrated subsea imaging can support identification and documentation within underwater ISR workflows after a target or infrastructure feature is located.
Company
Stony Plain, Alberta
True Depth Diving & Marine Services is an Alberta commercial-diving and marine-services company providing ROV, CCTV and pipe-crawler inspections across Western Canada.
Portable ROV and crawler inspection could provide visual assessment of submerged or confined infrastructure, subject to task-specific sensor and deployment validation.
Company
Vancouver, British Columbia
Design the ship around the missions it may need tomorrow. Vard Marine provides naval architecture and marine engineering for naval, security, offshore, icebreaking, research, and specialized vessels, including flexible mission bays and deck arrangements that accept standard ISO containers and containerized payloads without dedicating the platform to one role.
Public Vard Marine designs connect containerized and plug-and-play mission payloads with sub-surface surveillance, subsea infrastructure protection, diving, and mine-countermeasure roles. This is a reviewed use-case connection, not proof of a customer requirement or procurement outcome.
Company
Waterloo, Ontario
Capture imagery detailed enough to identify, inspect, and document underwater objects. Voyis combines subsea cameras, lighting, and laser scanning for vehicle-based missions from Waterloo.
High-resolution optical imaging can support underwater ISR when close-range identification, inspection, or documentation is required after initial detection.
Company
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
Find valuable equipment after it returns from the deep ocean. Xeos Technologies builds Canadian beacons, telemetry products, and sensors for locating, monitoring, and recovering marine assets.
A deep-rated recovery beacon supports underwater system accountability and recovery, but its role is enabling support rather than primary ISR collection.
