Canadian UAVs Pioneers BVLOS Flights, DAA Radar


UAV services provider and technology development company Canadian UAVs scored a major success in 2022 when Transport Canada (Canada’s regulatory agency) granted the company a nationwide special flight operations certificate (SFOC) to operate its fleet of remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) – a major advance in the deployment of commercial UAV services. This first-of-its-kind-in-Canada certificate allows Canadian UAVs to perform BVLOS


flight operations anywhere in Canada in Class G airspace, up to 400 feet AGL (above ground level).


Canadian UAVs was able to obtain the certificate due to its Sparrowhawk DAA (detect and avoid) radar system that has also been approved by Transport Canada. The Sparrowhawk DAA system uses low-cost, ground-based radars that are tuned for manned aircraft detection and radar modeling software to support


safe BVLOS UAV flight operations. The long-range, all-weather Sparrowhawk system integrates seamlessly with any RPAS operating platform, without anything having to be installed on the actual UAV. It can be deployed as either a fixed or mobile installation. “In 2023, Canadian UAVs will introduce new features to Sparrowhawk as well as increase the operating range of the system,” said Canadian UAVs Senior Systems Engineer Robert Gustavsson.
