Development of a Canadian Drone Supply Chain

The project aims to research the feasibility of designing and building a drone from parts supplied in Canada. The first objective is to build a prototype of a made-in-Canada drone that showcases current technology and incorporates the highest proportion possible of parts from Canada. The second objective is to design a manufacturing process that can scale up production. The students will be involved in researching the supply chain, the design of the prototype, and the design of the manufacturing process. The benefits to the partner includes support in R&D work, capacity to further investigate the domestic supply of parts, and interactions with future leaders in their field.
