Advanced Technologies & Systems
Canadian-developed technologies with potential applications across defence, aerospace, infrastructure and advanced mobility.
AI-enabled systems for inspection, real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance that identify problems earlier and reduce the need for people to inspect difficult or remote locations, while reducing bandwidth through local data processing and selective transmission of relevant results.
Designed for advanced analysis of structural vibration signals using machine-learning / AI directly in the device
- Extension of useful life for structures on which it is involved, by detecting faults in primary structures or subcomponents. Early detection prevents small faults from growing worse and triggering a chain reaction of damage to subcomponents
- Reduced CAPEX requirements due to extended useful life of assets
- Improved safety outcomes for users due to reduced risk of failure
- Reduced inspection costs, particularly for hard-to-access structures
- Reduced maintenance costs, due to early detection of small faults
Structural health monitoring (SHM) saves costs, enhances safety, and reduces long-term maintenance by enabling predictive rather than reactive maintenance, avoiding expensive unplanned downtime, and extending the useful life of structures.

Quantum Power™
Plasma technology for high-speed and high-altitude, space environments. Plasma can be stabilized and controlled around an aerospace vehicle. Applications include high-speed contactless power transfer, and spacecraft reentry plasma detection and safety.
Potential Sovereign Capability Alignment: Aerospace, Emerging Technologies
Magnetic control technology, for high-speed propulsion and low-friction stabilization and suspension. In the vacuum of space, traditional mechanical bearings can fail. This technology for vehicle control is being designed for space-like environments, and could enable future spacecraft magnetic suspensions for cryogenic propellant storage, and for satellite gyroscopes and reaction wheels.
