ARA Robotics

ARA Robotics is a Canadian drone maker in Montreal, Quebec. The name stands for Autonomous Robotic Aviation. The site says the company designs and builds its drones in Canada and has worked in the drone industry for ten years. It says its navigation and sensor data is processed with Canadian developed and owned technology. The address is 204-2260 Aird Av, Montreal, and opening hours are Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm.

The company makes drones for defence, security and industrial use. The ARA405 is for heavy payload and endurance. The ARA408 is for tactical aerial intelligence. The ARA409 is a target drone. It also lists a recon system with sensors for mapping and positioning.

Software and services are part of the line. ODAS is an on-demand aerial survey service with data analysis. The SkyMate series is a flight controller and ground control software that works with most drones on the market. The company says it supports clients from defining needs to first deployment, and that it works with universities and local firms on research.

The site sorts its work by industry. These are mining and aggregate, defence and security, and wildfires. News items include joining the NORTHERN UxV Consortium, being chosen for Phase 3 of the Drone Surge program, passing the Alberta Hinton Grid Matrix Test as the first Canadian drone maker, and a federal contract worth up to 2.64 million Canadian dollars to take swarm technology to the Arctic.

The site has a contact form that asks about the solution of interest, and a careers page.
