Volatus Aerospace Inc. will showcase its integrated, multi-domain portfolio at the Maritime & Arctic Security & Safety (MASS) Conference 2026, taking place from July 13–16 at the St. John’s Convention Centre in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. The Canadian-headquartered global aerospace and defence company will present capabilities including autonomous systems, counter-uncrewed aircraft systems (C-UAS), SKYDRA software, aerial intelligence, mission support, and training. These solutions support defence, security, public safety, critical infrastructure protection, and industrial operations.

Presented by Saab Canada, MASS 2026 convenes industry leaders, northern representatives, government stakeholders, and international partners. The conference focuses on technologies and collaborations that advance Canada's security and sovereignty in maritime and Arctic environments. Volatus's participation underscores its commitment to supporting Canadian sovereignty through innovation, operational excellence, and strategic partnerships.

"Canada's Arctic and maritime regions present unique operational challenges that require innovative, resilient and multi-domain solutions," said Glen Lynch, Chief Executive Officer of Volatus. "MASS brings together the organizations and leaders shaping the future of Canada's security and sovereignty. We look forward to showcasing how Volatus combines aviation expertise, autonomy and intelligence to help customers operate effectively in some of the world's most demanding environments."

As demand grows for persistent intelligence and autonomous systems in northern and maritime environments, Volatus remains focused on delivering operationally proven solutions. The company aims to help customers meet current operational requirements while preparing for future challenges. Visitors can meet the Volatus team at Booth 3 throughout the conference to discuss capabilities, initiatives, and partnerships.

Volatus Aerospace is a Canadian-controlled global aerospace and defence company delivering integrated uncrewed systems, aerial intelligence, and mission-critical operational services. It provides unmanned aerial systems, aerial intelligence services, autonomy software, and advanced training solutions for civil infrastructure, public safety, and defence markets.

Volatus Aerospace Inc. has commenced operations at its new 53,000-square-foot manufacturing and systems integration facility located at the Montreal-Mirabel International Airport. The facility is now operational, marking a significant step in building sovereign Canadian production capacity for advanced autonomous systems. Production is already live, with drone docking stations currently rolling off the line and being delivered to commercial customers. Manufacturing of the company's V-Series aircraft is expected to begin shortly, marking the next phase of the facility's operational ramp-up.

The new site is part of the YMX Innovation Centre, situated within one of North America's most established aerospace hubs. It will support the manufacture and integration of advanced autonomous systems and related technologies for commercial, public safety, industrial, and defence customers. The facility is a significant addition to the company's operational infrastructure and supports its long-term strategy to expand production capacity, accelerate commercialization, and meet growing customer demand for Canadian-developed autonomous solutions across NATO and NATO allies.

"Canada is placing renewed emphasis on strengthening domestic industrial capacity in strategically important sectors, including aerospace, autonomous systems and defence," said Glen Lynch, Chief Executive Officer of Volatus. "Our Mirabel facility is a strategic investment in Canadian manufacturing capability. By expanding our ability to manufacture, integrate, test, and deploy advanced autonomous systems domestically, we are strengthening our ability to serve customers while contributing to the industrial capacity needed to support Canada's economic growth, create high-value jobs, and strengthen sovereign capability in critical technology sectors."

The launch aligns with growing national and international investments in aerospace modernization, autonomous technologies, and industrial resilience. Canada's recently released Defence Industrial Strategy highlights the importance of strengthening domestic manufacturing capabilities, accelerating innovation, and building sovereign capacity in critical technology sectors. The Mirabel facility supports these objectives through the development, integration, and production of advanced aerospace and autonomous systems technologies.

Facility Operations and Production

The facility's operations are structured to address multiple market segments simultaneously. The following table outlines the current and projected production activities:

"As demand for autonomous systems continues to grow across commercial, public safety, industrial, and defence markets," added Lynch, "the Mirabel facility strengthens Volatus' position as a strategic partner and enhances our ability to manufacture, integrate, and deliver solutions at scale for customers in Canada and internationally."
