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.
Operating context
Voyis develops underwater optical cameras, laser scanners and vehicle-integrated imaging systems for detailed subsea inspection, mapping and object identification from Waterloo, Ontario.
Canadian footprint
Voyis has a documented Canadian operating presence in Waterloo, 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.
Waterloo, Ontario is the published city-level context for Voyis. It does not imply a street address or exact facility location.
Voyis offers optical and laser sensing for close-range identification and documentation within mine-countermeasure workflows. Its May 2026 Eelume S3 integration account combines Observer imagery with a partner sonar, placing optical identification alongside acoustic detection. An August announcement described a planned Discovery Stereo demonstration with C-Guard at REPMUS; it is a demonstration plan, not a completed clearance result.
Evidence of maturity
Company-reported integration work and planned trials support a development and integration proposition. No inspected evidence establishes a completed REPMUS result or certified autonomous mine-clearance performance.
Commercial availability
Payload and integration enquiries are available. The selected platform, sensor package and trial evidence must be assessed together; Discovery Stereo and Observer are separate offerings.
Core features
Complementary sonar and optical sensing in an Eelume S3 integration account
High-resolution visual documentation for close-range contact identification
Laser-compatible measurement and underwater imaging workflows
Voyis’ Observer family combines underwater still imaging, Nova lighting, onboard colour correction and image metadata for inspection and survey workflows, with compatible laser-scanning options. Pro and Micro are distinct configurations. Voyis lists Observer Pro at 5.5 megapixels, 16-bit colour and a 6,000 m depth rating; inconsistent published Micro ratings require a configuration-specific data sheet before selecting that variant.
Evidence of maturity
Commercial product-family documentation is available. Manufacturer specifications are not independent certification; Parks Canada’s 2026 field work used the separate Discovery Stereo product and does not validate Observer variant performance.
Commercial availability
Observer configurations are offered through Voyis. Confirm camera, light, housing depth and vehicle interface together, particularly where current Micro pages disagree.
Core features
Observer cameras paired with Nova subsea lighting
Onboard image colour correction and georeferenced metadata
Observer Pro manufacturer specifications: 5.5 megapixels, 16-bit colour and 6,000 m rating
Compatible imaging and laser-survey workflows
Recorded applications
Subsea inspection and survey
Public record
Recent activity
Jul 2, 2026
Kraken completed its Covelya Group acquisition, including Voyis, on 2 July 2026. In a separate field-use example, Parks Canada reports using a loaned Voyis Discovery Stereo camera on a Deep Trekker ROV for the May 2026 under-ice HMS Investigator survey.
High-resolution optical imaging can support underwater ISR when close-range identification, inspection, or documentation is required after initial detection.
Reviewed connections indicate possible relevance based on public evidence. They do not indicate procurement direction, eligibility, endorsement or customer interest.
Questions for a first conversation
01
Which optical configuration, water-clarity limits and integration support fit the proposed survey platform and reconstruction accuracy?
The Covelya transaction price covers several companies. The Parks Canada camera was loaned and is not evidence of a procurement award.

Voyis describes integrating laser and optical payloads into autonomous MCM workflows to improve close-range identification, localization and documentation after sonar detection and classification.
Voyis's public evidence establishes its current role and offering, but it does not answer every access, configuration, eligibility, maturity or buyer question needed for a first business-development conversation.
True North Map derives this first-conversation question from the documented Voyis capability, current evidence and the decision gap that remains.
