Defense Hardened, Integration Ready, MLink Telemetry Modules

FY 2026-27 · 2026-05-15

Summary
The goal of this project is to enhance the Firm's proprietary MLink wireless telemetry module and related technology, enabling it to form effective, efficient building blocks for diverse defense applications throughout the 1.4 million km2 of Canada’s Arctic and beyond. A primary example is a secure, reliable, and resilient network of smart sensors blanketing the Canadian Arctic. Such a network might start by focusing on the 176 thousand km of relatively unprotected coastline.

Description (French)
L’objectif de ce projet est d’améliorer le module de télémétrie sans fil MLink, propriété exclusive de l’entreprise, ainsi que la technologie associée, afin qu’ils constituent des éléments de base efficaces et performants pour diverses applications de défense sur l’ensemble des 1,4 million de km² de l’Arctique canadien et au-delà. Un exemple phare est celui d’un réseau sécurisé, fiable et résilient de capteurs intelligents couvrant l’Arctique canadien. Un tel réseau pourrait dans un premier temps se concentrer sur les 176 000 km de côtes relativement peu protégées.
