Sentinel R&D is a Hamilton, Ontario defence and aerospace company developing modular fixed-wing uncrewed aircraft and automated composite-manufacturing methods for scalable, mission-configurable production.
Operating context
National Defence's May 29, 2026 announcement identifies Airlogix-Sentinel as a partnership between Ukraine's Airlogix and Canadian uncrewed-aircraft manufacturer Sentinel Research and Development. Supported by the two governments, the partnership is intended to manufacture Ukrainian drone systems in Canada for Ukraine's armed forces. This adds a concrete coproduction and industrial-capacity role to Sentinel's modular fixed-wing platform offering. The announcement does not state production quantities, an individual contract value or completed deliveries.
Canadian footprint
Sentinel R&D has a documented Canadian operating presence in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Its public organization and capability evidence should be read at that location and national scope only where the cited sources explicitly support it.
Hamilton, Ontario is the published city-level context for Sentinel R&D. It does not imply a street address or exact facility location.
Sentinel's REKAM family uses a modular nose and payload bay for mission-specific fixed-wing aircraft. Its published 3.2 variant is rated for 500+ km and 5+ hours with a 25 kg maximum takeoff weight and 6–13 kg payload. The 5.0 variant remains in advanced testing. Volatus lists REKAM commercially, while the Airlogix-Sentinel coproduction partnership is a separate industrial programme whose DND announcement does not identify a REKAM order.
Evidence of maturity
Publicly marketed 3.2 platform with Volatus catalogue access; 5.0 remains in testing. NATO-standard marketing and the separate Airlogix partnership do not establish platform certification or delivered quantities.
Commercial availability
Engage Sentinel or the Volatus product inquiry channel for a defined payload, configuration and delivery proposal; request flight-test evidence and applicable approvals.
Core features

Questions for a first conversation
01
Which Airlogix-Sentinel work packages will be performed in Canada, and what production and delivery milestones have been agreed?
The government-backed partnership establishes manufacturing intent and counterparties; suppliers need the division of work, qualification process and schedule.
