Who we are
We build uncrewed surface vessels and the software that commands them, for the people who work on Canada's coasts and in its northern waters: scientists, defence and security operators, and commercial industry. The vessels go where sending a crew is slow, costly or dangerous, and they stay there.
Where we come from
Resolute Autonomy is built on a family history of northern aviation. Our founder was inspired by his father, an aviation pioneer who ran Canada's largest northern airline and was instrumental in establishing the first dependable, scheduled flight services to remote Arctic communities. We build to the same standard: dependable service in unforgiving environments.
Today that mission is maritime. We build uncrewed surface vessels and design the software that commands them: sensor fusion, navigation autonomy, and compliance systems engineered to meet the standards of government and defence operations. Our first vessel is in the water, in commissioning trials. As a Canadian-owned company we manufacture domestically and buy Canadian components wherever they exist, for security of supply. Our vessels are made in Canada.

Michael founded Resolute Autonomy after fifteen years designing and deploying perception systems for autonomous operations around the world. At Neptec Design Group he worked on lunar lidars and sensor fusion. He was lidar lead for the 2017 Rolls-Royce Marine and Svitzer trials of the world’s first remotely operated commercial vessel, and has delivered perception projects with industry leaders in autonomy. He has worked as a Space Sensor advisor for MDA Space's Robotics and Space Operations division. He currently leads sensor and sensor-fusion work on a humanitarian demining project in Ukraine.
Bill founded Greyline Instruments, a Canadian electronic instrument manufacturer, and as its president directed research and development, production, and engineering. He brings more than thirty years of Canadian electronics manufacturing experience. At Resolute Autonomy he leads manufacturing: design for manufacture, supplier selection, and standing up production as the vessel line grows.
