Design and Development of Unmanned Air Systems
Quaternion Engineering Inc. (QEI) is developing a series of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)
optimized to address the growing demand for low cost, turnkey commercial and military
solutions. Recent market research has shown an emerging commercial market for UAVs in
applications such as small scale surveillance, remote sensing and inspection. As this market
emerges there will be a large demand for affordable application specific unmanned systems that
are easy and inexpensive to operate. Currently, Canada has relatively modest capabilities in
terms of UAS and UAV development. However, there appears to be significant opportunities for
Western Canada to progressively establish a strong niche position in the UAV industry in specific
areas that could even include original UAV designs that are conceived from the ground up, to
respond specifically to emerging regulatory requirements and to current and future sensor
characteristics. At the end of the project QEI will have commercially available and operationally
tested unmanned systems with a high technology readiness level and several…
