Canadian Drone Industry: The Latest Developments as of August 11, 2025

1. Transport Canada Greenlights Avalanche Control Drone Tech

AVSS, a Canadian drone-tech specialist, has secured nationwide approval for its SnowDart™–based avalanche management system. Through a Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC), AVSS’s Precision Avalanche Management System (PAMS) is now cleared to deploy SnowDarts™—low-cost, reactive aerial devices—for automated avalanche mitigation. The system also captures detailed data for performance analysis and future planning.

2. Royal Canadian Navy to Adopt Uncrewed Aerial Systems

In a major boost for Canada’s sea-based drone capacity, the government awarded MDA Space contracts to equip Halifax-class frigates with up to six Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS). The initial deal, valued at roughly CAD 39 million (plus CAD 27 million for five years of support), will enhance long-range surveillance and targeting. This ISTAR-UAS initiative is projected to generate $18 million annually in GDP and sustain around 145 jobs each year. Initial operational capability is expected by 2028, with full deployment by 2032.

3. Looking Ahead: Finalized BVLOS Drone Regulations

Canada continues to lead globally on modernizing drone rules. Final regulations issued in early 2025 will allow routine Beyond Visual Line-of-Sight (BVLOS) operations—without requiring an SFOC—for lower-risk missions involving drones up to 150 kg, flying at low altitudes in sparse, uncontrolled airspace. The full implementation begins November 4, 2025, following a phased rollout.

4. Fixed-Wing Military Drones: A Long-Term Deployment

Canada has invested in MQ‑9B SkyGuardian drones—long-endurance, armed UAVs—to bolster military capability. Production has started on the first two units, with testing scheduled for 2026 and full delivery anticipated in 2028–2029. Operational deployment, however, is projected to stretch into the early 2030s.
