DARIT Technologies, a company specializing in counter-drone solutions, is proud to be among the partners contributing to the Uncrewed Systems Defence Innovation Secure Hub.

Initiated by Espace Aéro, the NEXuS project (National Experimentation for X-Domain Uncrewed Systems) is led by a strategic coalition that brings together Canada's Department of National Defence and BOREALIS, Quebec's Ministry of Economy, Innovation and Energy (MEIE), the Canadian Joint Operations Command (CJOC), Aéroports de Montréal (ADM), the Consortium for Research and Innovation in Aerospace in Quebec (CRIAQ), as well as nine innovative SMEs, including DARIT Technologies, ARA Robotique, Balko Technologies, BEONYX ROBOTICS Inc., C3RiOS Systems, CS Group Canada, Laflamme Aéro Inc., Marconi Technologies, and Octasic.

Located at Mirabel's YMX Innovation Centre and equipped with dedicated airspace for testing, the Uncrewed Systems Defence Innovation Secure Hub will receive $29.6 million in funding over two years to accelerate the development and integration of autonomous systems across the air, land, and maritime domains.

 As part of this initiative, DARIT Technologies will contribute to the “Counter-UxS and RAS” use case, one of the program's nine core activities. Aligned with the operational priorities of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), this stream aims to accelerate the development of next-generation defence capabilities through a research and development approach structured around concrete use cases that address Canada's strategic defence challenges.

DARIT's contribution will support the design, testing, and validation of sovereign, operational capabilities and prototypes that can be rapidly transferred to CAF end users.
