Mission-configurable payload bay

The right sensor for every mission.

A modular payload bay supports rapid sensor swaps between mission types — no airframe changes required. All payloads feed a fused, AI-processed real-time intelligence picture via onboard edge computing.

SAR Sensor

IMSAR NSP-3

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

EO/MWIR

Trillium HD 59

High-end cooled MWIR for day and night operations when performance matters.

EO/LWIR

NextVision Nighthawk

Low-cost uncooled infrared and electro-optical stabilized gimbal for day and night operations.

Mission capability

Built for defense, security, and public safety.

Superwake platforms operate where crewed aircraft and conventional UAS can't — in extreme cold, severe weather, and environments where GPS is jammed or denied.

01

AI-enabled intelligence

Onboard edge computing runs automated object tracking and threat assessment in real time — fusing sensor 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

All-weather protection

Onboard all-weather protection system enables continuous operations through freezing rain and severe weather — 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 observable signature

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

Why Superwake

Aerial intelligence without limits.

Fused sensor data, onboard AI, and edge computing deliver real-time intelligence and decision support to operators in the field.

Onboard intelligence

Fused sensors + EO/IR real-time decision making

Superwake platforms fuse SAR sensor 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 thermal and wide-area 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.
Starlink onboardOptional onboard Starlink Mini for comms anywhere.
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.
Persistent surveillance8-hour endurance covers extended pursuit, search, and monitoring operations in a single sortie.
Night & thermal capabilityEO/IR payloads enable person and vehicle tracking day and night in any conditions.
