01 Focus areas

What we’re preparing to build.

We’re not launched yet. These are the areas we’re working toward.

AIRPLANNED

Uncrewed aerial

Fixed-wing VTOL aircraft for search and rescue and security work, able to launch without a runway.

SEAPLANNED

Uncrewed surface

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

ENGPLANNED

Engineering & testing

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

02 Early work

Project Sailfish: where we’re coming from.

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

Proudly Canadian.

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.
