History

Resolute Autonomy comes from a family history of northern aviation. Our founder’s father ran Canada’s largest northern airline and helped establish the first dependable scheduled flights to remote Arctic communities. We build our vehicles to the same standard of reliability.

Principles

Our vehicles operate near communities, fishing grounds and shipping. They are built to serve those communities, to help save lives when called on, and never to hinder or harm the people and livelihoods around them. Community knowledge, harvesting areas and daily patterns of life are treated as protected information in our systems.
