Uncrewed aerial
Fixed-wing VTOL aircraft for search and rescue and security work, able to launch without a runway.
Pre-launch · Website in development
Altum Robotics is a Canadian company in pre-launch. We’re preparing to design, build and test aerial and surface vehicles, starting with marine search and rescue and defence applications.
01 Focus areas
We’re not launched yet. These are the areas we’re working toward.
Fixed-wing VTOL aircraft for search and rescue and security work, able to launch without a runway.
Surface vehicles for coastal and marine work where a crewed vessel is slow, costly or risky to send.
Systems integration, prototyping and environmental testing for primes and integrators who need a capable partner.
02 Early work
Before Altum Robotics was a company, we developed Sailfish: a proof of technology for a low-cost, autonomous marine search-and-rescue drone. It grew over three generations of airframe between 2024 and 2026.
It was open-sourced so that rescue units without air assets of their own can build and fly it. The airframe, power, propulsion, RF and autonomy work behind it is the experience we’re bringing to Altum.
03 Canadian by design
Altum Robotics is a Canadian company with locations in British Columbia and Toronto, Ontario. We’re preparing to serve Canadian search-and-rescue and security organizations, the prime contractors and integrators who support them, and non-aggressor NATO countries.
