The Canadian Coast Guard is conducting trials of the long-endurance Vertical Take-of and Landing (VTOL) UAS surveillance system for possible deployment on Canadian Coast Guard Vessels under a project funded by Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC). The Shield AI V-BAT aircraft was selected due to its unique ability to combine VTOL from the small confines aboard ship with the long endurance of a fixed-wing aircraft while carrying multiple sensors.

The V-BAT operators used Kongsberg Geospatial’s IRIS GCS software to safely pilot the aircraft at long ranges from the launch vessel. The IRIS software provides a comprehensive situational awareness picture of the operational airspace, data from a variety of sensors and data feeds – and shows the location of other aircraft and surface ships, as well as the launch vessel and the “ownship”, or drone being operated.

Ottawa, CA: Kongsberg Geospatial, a geospatial software technology company, announced today that their TerraLens geospatial software development kit (SDK), was selected by Ultra to provide the geospatial display and rendering engine for the next generation of US Navy Surface Search Radars.
