Uncrewed systems, engineered in Canada.

Altum Robotics designs, builds and tests ruggedized aerial and surface vehicles for the people who go looking for others — starting with marine search-and-rescue and defence applications.

01 What we build

Built for the places people can’t easily reach.

AIR01

Uncrewed aerial

Fixed-wing VTOL aircraft that launch from anywhere, search from above and carry the payloads that matter.

SEA02

Uncrewed surface

Surface vehicles for coastal and marine work where a crewed vessel is slow, costly or too risky to send.

ENG03

Engineering & testing

Systems integration, prototyping and environmental testing for the primes and integrators who need a capable partner.

02 Project Sailfish

Three generations of an open-source rescue drone.

Sailfish is a low-cost, autonomous marine search-and-rescue drone, built to cut the time and cost for Coast Guard and volunteer crews to make first visual contact with a person in the water.

It’s open-sourced, so rescue units with no air assets of their own can build and fly it.

03 Canadian by design

Proudly Canadian, from the first line of CAD.

Altum Robotics is a Canadian company with its registered office in British Columbia. We’re building to serve Canadian search-and-rescue and security organizations — and the prime contractors and integrators who support them — with engineering capability they can work with directly, close to home.
