All-weather multi-mode SAR/MTI radar. 0.3 m resolution. Day, night, fog, and cloud penetrating.

EO/IR · MWIR

Trillium HD 59

AI-enabled gimbaled EO/IR with MWIR imaging. Day/night ISR, targeting, and automated object tracking.

EO/IR · LWIR

NextVision Nighthawk

Gimbaled EO/IR with LWIR thermal imaging. 30 sq km/hr scan rate. Person and vehicle detection.

Why Superwake

Aerial intelligence without limits.

Superwake platforms operate where crewed aircraft and conventional UAS can't — in extreme cold, active icing conditions, and environments where GPS is jammed or denied. Fused sensor data, onboard AI, and edge computing deliver real-time intelligence and decision support to operators in the field.

Mission capability

Built for defense, security, and public safety.

01

AI-enabled intelligence

Onboard edge computing runs automated object tracking and threat assessment in real time — fusing radar and EO/IR data into a single actionable intelligence picture.

02

Visual navigation

Optical and computer-vision-based navigation maintains accurate positioning in GPS-jammed or GPS-denied environments — no GNSS dependency.

03

Active de-icing

Onboard active de-icing system enables continuous operations through freezing rain and icing conditions — when all other platforms are grounded.

04

BVLOS operations

Onboard detect-and-avoid (DAA) enables Transport Canada-compliant BVLOS operations with no ground observers required.

05

Rapid deployment

VTOL eliminates launch infrastructure. Operational from any clearing, vessel deck, or forward operating base in minutes.

06

Low acoustic signature

Ultra-quiet electric propulsion minimizes detectability — critical for sensitive surveillance and force protection operations.

Onboard intelligence

Fused radar + EO/IR real-time decision making

Superwake platforms fuse SAR radar and EO/IR sensor data onboard using edge computing — delivering automated object tracking, threat classification, and actionable intelligence to operators in real time, without dependence on a ground processing station.

Automated object trackingAI identifies and tracks persons, vehicles, and vessels across radar and thermal imagery simultaneously.
Threat assessmentOnboard classification algorithms flag and prioritize targets — reducing operator workload in complex environments.
Onboard edge computingAll processing happens on the aircraft — no ground station required, no latency, no bandwidth dependency.
Key differentiator

Operates in GPS-denied environments

In contested environments where GPS jamming or spoofing is a threat, Superwake platforms maintain navigation accuracy using onboard visual odometry and terrain-referenced navigation — keeping the mission on track regardless of the electronic environment.

Visual odometryOptical flow sensors track terrain features to maintain accurate position and velocity estimates.
Terrain-referenced navigationOnboard maps and sensor fusion allow precise navigation without any external signal dependency.
Jam-resistant operationsContinues mission execution through active jamming and spoofing — critical for contested airspace.
Communications

Communications extension & mesh networking

Where ground communications infrastructure is unavailable or degraded, Superwake platforms serve as an airborne communications node — extending coverage into remote terrain, valleys, and denied environments through mesh networking and relay capability.

Airborne comms relayExtends radio and data coverage into areas unreachable by ground-based infrastructure.
Mesh networkingCreates a resilient, self-healing network between ground units, vehicles, and command nodes.
Remote terrain coverageConnects teams in valleys, dense forest, and mountainous terrain where radio fails.
No infrastructure requiredRapidly deployable — no towers, repeaters, or fixed comms infrastructure needed on the ground.
Public safety

BVLOS for police & public safety agencies

Superwake platforms are Transport Canada BVLOS-compliant, enabling police and public safety agencies to operate beyond visual line of sight without dedicated ground observers. Onboard detect-and-avoid technology meets regulatory requirements for unrestricted BVLOS operations across urban and remote environments.

No ground observersOnboard DAA meets Transport Canada requirements — reducing crew size and operational cost.
Urban & remote opsBVLOS-certified for operations over cities, coastlines, highways, and wilderness equally.
Persistent surveillance8-hour endurance covers extended pursuit, search, and monitoring operations in a single sortie.
Night & thermal capabilityEO/IR and LWIR payloads enable person and vehicle tracking day and night in any conditions.
