Company
Calgary, Alberta
Established in 2022, North Vector Dynamics is a Calgary defence technology company developing precision counter-drone systems and advanced propulsion research. Its initial commercial product is the CM-70 interceptor; separate CI-60 configurations address drone interception and aerial-target training. The company combines a Canadian-controlled design base with government-funded R&D and investor-backed plans to expand into allied markets.
Last reviewed Sep 14, 2026
Decision snapshot
North Vector offers a Canadian-controlled counter-UAS development partner with three concrete footholds: the CM-70 commercial offering, SHIELD’s named DND evaluation entry and a contracted aeropropulsion research programme. Its DDI marketplace arrangement adds a procurement access route, while CSG and NordSpace bring stated industrial and research connections. A decision team should use those footholds to assess a defined evaluation or integration engagement, with product-level test evidence and committed delivery capacity as the decisive checks.
See all reviewed connectionsMission area
A compact mobile counter-UAS interceptor could protect autonomous patrol nodes and deployed formations from small-drone threats; the fit is derived and no operational deployment is asserted.
Released Defence need
SHIELD counter-UAS system may help teams working on Sovereign defence capability areas by contributing to detection and situational awareness, autonomous and uncrewed systems, and aerospace operations.
Organization context
North Vector has three distinct routes into the defence market: research engineering under CW2403893, evaluation access through the SHIELD Counter-UAS Sandbox entry, and supplier-pool access through the Defence Drone Initiative Marketplace. Its November 2025 parliamentary brief described international customers and a need to cross from company-assessed TRL 7 to fielded production. In May 2026 testimony, CEO Paul Ziadé emphasized frequent access to Suffield and closer collaboration with end users as practical needs. CSG’s industrial network and NordSpace’s proposed manufacturing and test access could help that transition; neither announcement quantifies committed North Vector output. For an integrator, the useful next conversation concerns the demonstrated product configuration and a concrete delivery programme.
North Vector is headquartered in Calgary. Its August 2026 investment announcement states that design and engineering authority and intellectual property remain Canadian-controlled. The company’s parliamentary brief described plans to expand manufacturing in Calgary; public sources reviewed here do not quantify a completed factory expansion or production rate. Its DRDC engineering requirement is based in Valcartier, Quebec, while the CEO identifies access to Suffield as an important testing dependency.

Advanced aeropropulsion research and engineering
What it enables
North Vector’s Advanced Systems work develops expertise in advanced propulsion, hypersonic flight environments and future interception technologies. Led by Chief Science Officer Craig Johansen, it complements near-term counter-UAS products with funded research engineering. The linked DRDC requirement concerns assessment of high-speed and hypersonic aeropropulsion in Valcartier; it does not procure a fielded hypersonic weapon.

Prepare the conversation
Which CM-70 configuration has independently observed test results, and what documented production or order milestones followed the August 2026 commercial announcement?
The current page lists 3 kg, 0.9 m and 900 km/h, while the earlier Janes account describes a different configuration. Confirm the evaluation evidence and delivered configuration before assessing supply readiness.
What configuration and division of work sit behind the SHIELD – Scalable Air Defence entry with CMP, and what documented results followed its 2026 Sandbox selection?
DND names North Vector and CMP in its participant table but does not publish configuration details or evaluation results there. Clarify the partner identity and the scope of the system being offered.
Which Canadian facilities, production commitments and design-authority arrangements are supported by the CSG and NordSpace partnerships?
The companies describe investment, industrial access and retained Canadian control, but do not quantify North Vector’s committed manufacturing capacity or disclose the invested amounts. Those details determine whether a supply-chain discussion is actionable.
