Resolute Autonomy

About

A Canadian company building uncrewed vessels and the software that commands them, in Almonte, Ontario.

Who we are

Trusted autonomy for Canadian waters

Our vision is to be the most trusted Canadian provider of autonomous systems for the people who work on Canada's coasts and in its northern waters: scientists, defence and security operators, and commercial industry.

Where we come from

A legacy of northern service

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 on the water now. As a Canadian-owned company we build domestically and buy Canadian components wherever they exist, for security of supply.
