Development of an AI-enabled Nanuk UGV for defence applications

EF 2025-26 · 2025-11-03

Résumé
Building on a previous NRC IRAP-supported research study, Compusult plans to design and develop prototypes of advanced, AI-enabled, multi-function Uncrewed Ground Vehicles (UGVs) to support the Canadian Armed Forces’ (CAF) multi-domain Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), communications, and sustainment needs in line with Land Capability Modernization (LCM) priorities. The Nanuk AI UGV is envisioned as a versatile force multiplier capable of transitioning between roles—such as ISR sensing and response, mobile communications relay, autonomous logistics and towing, and human–machine teaming—without the need for redesign. The project will also advance integration between the Nanuk platform and Compusult’s Web Enterprise Suite (WES) to enhance joint ISR capabilities.

Description
Building on a previous NRC IRAP-supported research study, Compusult plans to design and develop prototypes of advanced, AI-enabled, multi-function Uncrewed Ground Vehicles (UGVs) to support the Canadian Armed Forces’ (CAF) multi-domain Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), communications, and sustainment needs in line with Land Capability Modernization (LCM) priorities.

The project will also advance integration between the Nanuk platform and Compusult’s Web Enterprise Suite (WES) to enhance joint ISR capabilities.
Description (French)
S’appuyant sur une étude de recherche antérieure soutenue par le PARI CNRC, Compusult prévoit de concevoir et de développer des prototypes de véhicules terrestres sans pilote (VTSP) multifonctionnels de pointe, dotés d’intelligence artificielle, afin de répondre aux besoins des Forces armées canadiennes en matière de renseignement, de surveillance et de reconnaissance (ISR) multidomaines, de communications et de soutien logistique, conformément aux priorités du programme de modernisation des capacités terrestres. L’UGV Nanuk AI est conçu comme un multiplicateur de force polyvalent capable de passer d’un rôle à l’autre – tels que la détection et la réponse ISR, la relais de communications mobiles, la logistique et le remorquage autonomes, ainsi que le travail en équipe homme-machine – sans nécessiter de reconception. Le projet fera également progresser l’intégration entre la plateforme Nanuk et la Web Enterprise Suite (WES) de Compusult afin d’améliorer les capacités ISR interarmées.
