Defence and sovereign capability
Several announcements underline Volatus’ growing role in defence and sovereign capability. The company describes itself as a leader in aerial and defence solutions and in innovative global aerial solutions for intelligence and cargo. It has been awarded a defence contract from a NATO partner to supply an interim training system for ISR operations, structured over multiple years. Under that agreement, Volatus is to provide unmanned aircraft training systems, integrated control interfaces, documentation, instructor familiarization, and warranty and lifecycle support, all aligned with defence procurement and sustainment standards.
Volatus also reports the acquisition of advanced RPAS technologies from a UK-based aerospace engineering firm. This acquisition includes complete aircraft designs, validated flight-test data, engineering documentation, and assets for a new generation of long-endurance, fixed-wing uncrewed aircraft systems intended to be manufactured and integrated in Canada. The company highlights three scalable UAS platforms with multi-mission, ultra-long-endurance characteristics designed for defence, public security, and critical infrastructure sectors.
Manufacturing and Mirabel Innovation Centre
Volatus has announced plans to establish the Volatus Mirabel Innovation Centre and Drone Manufacturing Hub at Montréal–Mirabel International Airport, within the Mirabel Innovation Zone. The facility is described as an advanced and secure manufacturing site designed for scalability and efficiency, enabling serial production of Canadian-built drone platforms. The Mirabel Manufacturing Hub is intended to support proprietary platforms and licensed manufacture of partner systems, operating through a secure domestic supply chain with configuration control, quality assurance, and export compliance under Canadian and allied frameworks.
The company further notes that it is building RPAS manufacturing capability in Mirabel, Quebec, to support emerging large-drone requirements. Through its Mirabel initiatives and technology acquisitions, Volatus presents its strategy as contributing to Canada’s sovereign aerospace and defence manufacturing capacity and aligning with national defence-industrial policy objectives.
Commercial and industrial applications
Beyond defence, Volatus’ disclosures show a strong commercial focus. The company states that it serves industries including oil and gas, utilities, healthcare, public safety, and infrastructure. It has referenced a multi-year agreement with a major North American utility to provide RPAS inspection, mapping, and vegetation-management services across a large network of transmission and distribution assets. Volatus also notes partnerships to deploy heavy-lift RPAS for large-scale aerial seeding across fire-damaged forest regions.
Through these activities, Volatus positions its aerial intelligence and RPAS capabilities as tools for inspections, mapping, environmental applications, and operational support across industrial and public-sector use cases.
Training and international partnerships
Training is a recurring theme in the company’s communications. Volatus describes providing training as part of its aerial services ecosystem and has highlighted defence-focused ISR training systems for a NATO partner. In addition, the company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with ARCO Worldwide Services Limited in Nigeria to collaborate on professional drone training programs through ARCO Aviation Academy. Under this framework, Volatus will provide its Volatus Academy curriculum, training materials, and instructor programs for local delivery, with the goal of aligning training with international standards and national regulatory requirements.
These initiatives illustrate how Volatus combines technology, operations, and training to support workforce development and safe, professional drone operations in multiple jurisdictions.
