Challenge

As drone activity accelerates across Canada, federal agencies face growing challenges in maintaining secure and sovereign airspace. With over 1,100 drone-related incidents reported by Transport Canada in 2023, traditional radar and surveillance systems have proven inadequate for detecting and classifying small, low-altitude threats. Canada required an advanced, autonomous solution to unify fragmented data sources and provide real-time situational awareness across national operations.

Solution

Through the Innovative Solutions Canada (ISC) program, AirMatrix was selected to deploy its Libra AI Command Platform for the Government of Canada. Libra fuses radar, RF, EO/IR, ADS-B, and Remote ID data into a single command layer that autonomously detects, classifies, and tracks aerial objects in real time.

Designed and built entirely in Canada, Libra reduces operator workload and decision latency by automating the fusion, analysis, and prioritization of sensor data. The deployment establishes a Canadian-built command platform capable of securing national airspace across defense, public safety, and critical infrastructure domains.

"This project represents a major step forward in Canada’s ability to secure its airspace. Libra transforms sensor data into operational intelligence, allowing government agencies to see, understand, and respond to aerial activity with precision and autonomy."
