The Opportunity
A persistent gap in the modern battlespace
Modern military units — whether ground convoys or naval vessels — require continuous situational awareness and over-the-horizon communications. Traditional battery-powered drones are limited by short flight times (usually under an hour), vulnerability to RF jamming, and restricted payload capacities. As the battlespace becomes more contested, continuous, secure data transmission is critical. There is a critical gap for a persistent, heavy-lift, secure aerial platform that moves with the unit.
The Solution
An eye in the sky that never lands
Heimdall is a next-generation tethered UAS that operates at altitudes of 100m+, serving simultaneously as a persistent surveillance node and a flying communications tower. Powered continuously through an advanced high-voltage DC micro-tether, it delivers round-the-clock area awareness, computer-vision threat detection, and communications relay — deploying directly from moving ground vehicles or naval vessels.
Capabilities
Key capabilities & technical advantages
Uninterrupted Power & Mobility
Advanced HVDC (400–450 V) tether technology cuts cable weight by ~20% while delivering multi-kilowatt power continuously. Deploys directly from moving ground vehicles or naval vessels — no batteries to swap, no downtime.
Unhackable Connectivity
Fiber-optic / shielded tether carries up to 30 Gbps with zero RF emission — unjammable command, control, and data backhaul in RF-denied or heavily contested electronic-warfare environments.
Multi-Mission Payloads
Built for 10–50+ kg payloads: small-cell 5G/LTE radios that extend coverage up to 30 km, EO/IR sensor turrets with laser ranging and AI computer vision, and C2 gear that natively formats to Cursor-on-Target (CoT) and SAPIENT for seamless ATAK integration.
Environmental Robustness
Engineered for extreme operations. With heated components, cold-rated lubricants, and advanced insulation, Heimdall targets continuous operation down to −40 °C — meeting NATO requirements for Arctic and remote coverage that off-the-shelf systems cannot.
Dual-Use Market
Built for defense. Designed for industry.
Heimdall is dual-use from the ground up — ensuring diverse revenue streams and accelerated commercial adoption.
Agriculture
Continuous aerial monitoring and precision mapping for large commercial farms — or a persistent local network bubble for autonomous farm equipment.
Construction & Industrial
24/7 site-security monitoring, volumetric tracking, and an elevated Wi-Fi/LTE tower for remote worksites.
Telecom & Emergency
Rapid deployment as a “flying cell tower” during natural disasters or major events — restoring connectivity where it matters most.
Strategic & Financial Alignment
Positioned for sovereign capital
BDC StrongNorth Fund
As a Canadian-controlled entity developing proprietary dual-use technology, Heimdall aligns precisely with the mandate of BDC’s $300M defense-focused fund for deep-tech startups.
NATO DIANA 2026
Directly answers DIANA’s “Autonomy and Unmanned Systems” and “Operations in Extreme Environments” challenges with a persistent airborne node for contested EM spaces.
Regulatory Readiness
Building a proactive safety-of-flight SORA dossier — drawing on recent Transport Canada SAIL VI precedents — to guarantee BVLOS compliance in controlled airspace.
The Ask
We are raising our Seed Round to finalize our proprietary tether/winch mechanism for mobile platforms, complete computer-vision software integration, and secure Transport Canada / DND test flights.
