Alberta’s Aerospace and Defence Industry

Alberta’s diverse and competitive aerospace and defence sector continues to evolve and

is highly regarded in the global aerospace industry. Alberta’s industry has strengths in the

following areas:

• Robotics and Unmanned Vehicle Systems

Robotics and Unmanned Vehicle Systems (UVS)The strategic importance of this niche area continues to grow as technology advances

beyond military use and into civilian, commercial and industrial applications. A key

advantage in the industry is the Foremost UAS Range, Canada and western North America’s

first permanent restricted airspace for Unmanned Air Systems (UAS). The site is intended

for UAS research and development, and test and evaluation for civil and commercial

applications. With 700 square nautical miles of restricted airspace up to 18,000 feet

above sea level, the Foremost UAS Range is ideally suited for Beyond Visual Line of Sight

(BVLOS) Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) flight operations. The Foremost UAS Range will enable

companies from Canada and abroad to develop the next generation of UAV systems and

subsystems to address current and emerging needs of the oil and gas, agriculture, forestry,

and environment sectors.

Cleo Robotics Inc.

Cleo Robotics is working on revolutionizing the consumer camera drone market through

its award winning and patent pending technology. Unlike multi-rotor drones, Cleo’s radical

design allows it to be small enough to fit in a pocket, and its hidden propellers make it safe

to be used indoors and around people. It also flies itself so it can be used by anyone with

a smartphone without the need for any training. It is ideal for use as a personal camera

drone, and in action sports, surveillance and first response applications.

Currently, our focus is to build the world’s first camera drone aimed at the average

consumer, and to put this exciting technology, which is currently limited to hobbyist and

professional, in the hands of the general public.

Business objectivesWe are looking for a German or French partner, company or academic institution that

specializes in UAVs and robotic automation for the purpose of taking advantage of the

Alberta-Germany or Alberta-France Collaboration Fund for Product Development and

Commercialization (www.gccir.ca). The purpose of a partnership would be to develop a new

UAV aerodynamic optimization and autonomous control system.

Dakota Supplies Inc.

Dakota Supplies Inc. (DSI) has developed revolutionary cleaning solutions for the

commercial transportation industry. Having completed initial field trials with both major

Canadian airlines, their product, MOPPITT™, is the first in a series of commercial cleaning

systems targeted specifically at global airlines, and in the future, bus transportation,

ambulances, trains and recreational vehicles (RVs).

The industry needOne of the most uncomfortable experiences airline passengers face is using a bathroom

whilst in flight. Occupational Health and Safety requires that public bathrooms be cleaned

regularly in a 24-hour period; however, there is little to no room onboard to store cleaning

supplies. Flight attendants have no effective way to clean and sanitize bathrooms or galleys,

other than throwing down paper towels on the floor and picking them up with rubber gloves

or locking off bathrooms.

MOPPITT – A revolutionary cleaning productDSI’s patented commercial cleaning product MOPPITT™ is an “all in one” lightweight mop

with individual use cartridges housed within the casing, infused with Celeste Industries

Aviation cleaning products. The MOPPITT™ can be used inflight or at the gate, and was

designed specifically to address growing occupational health and safety concerns. This tool

would allow airlines to provide their inflight crews, increased customer service, improved

flight attendant morale, lessen wear and tear on major airline assets, provide potential

cost savings by reducing outsourcing of cleaning requirements, and help deliver quicker

turnarounds when flight delays are experienced.

Dakota Supplies has partnered with Celeste Industries to distribute its product globally to

commercial and charter airlines, and various rail companies.

Who can apply?Alberta small and medium-sized enterprises (one to 499 employees and less than $50

million in gross revenue) are welcome to apply to both funding programs.

The partner(s) from Germany can be a small or medium-sized enterprise, a larger company,

and/or an independent research institution. However, please note that only German SMEs

and research institutions are eligible to apply to the German funding partner ZIM (“Zentrales

Innovationsprogramm Mittelstand” or “Central Innovation Programme for SMEs”). All

proposals to the program must involve an industry partner from each jurisdiction with an

interest in commercialization.


The partner(s) from France can be a small or medium-sized enterprise, a larger company,

and/or an independent research institution. However, please note that only French

companies are eligible to apply to the French funding partner Bpifrance. All proposals to

the program must involve an industry partner from each jurisdiction with an interest in

commercialization.

In the case of the Alberta-Canada-France Joint Industrial R&D Projects Program, Alberta

companies also have the option of applying in parallel to NRC-IRAP for additional funding.

Standard regulations and processes for IRAP applications apply.

Eligible project sectorFor both programs, projects in any sector with strong market potential are eligible for

FundingFor both programs, the maximum project contribution by GCCIR is $250,000 CAD, which

will be granted to the Alberta applicant. Funding for successful German partners will come

from ZIM, and funding for successful French partners will come from Bpifrance. Should the

German or French company be too big to apply to their respective funding body, then the

requirement for participation in the project is matching the amount of funding contributed

by GCCIR. All funding sources must be disclosed.

For both programs matching cash and in-kind contributions from the applicants is

mandatory. This contribution reflects a meaningful collaboration and equal involvement of

all partners. For the Alberta company, a minimum cash contribution of 20 per cent of the

total Alberta budget is required.

Example:

• $250,000 CAD – GCCIR

• $100,000 CAD – cash contribution from Alberta company (minimum: 20 per cent of

total Alberta budget)

• $150,000 CAD – in-kind contribution from Alberta company

Eligible contribution costsThe cash contribution is defined as new incremental costs. Eligible cash contributions

include expenses for the direct costs of product development and achieving the objectives

for which the grant was awarded (e.g. IP protection costs, incremental staff costs,

equipment, tools, software, consultants).

Eligible in-kind contributions include non-monetary resources that the applicants provide to

support the project. In-kind contributions can be management time or tools that a company

already owns, specialized skills and advice, or access to special equipment, space or

data sets. In-kind contributions will be recognized at fair market value. No funding will be

granted for the duplication of infrastructure in either Alberta, Germany, or France for the

purpose of conducting a project.

Feel free to contact the GCCIR for further information on our funding programs, or for

questions regarding the application process.

HYPERSPECTRAL

PROMETHEAN

Our innovative use of the latest imaging spectroscopy technology provides astonishingly rich and accessible earth observation data for an affordable price.

Although the concept of hyperspectral remote sensing began in the mid-1980's, it has so far mostly been used by geologists for the mapping of minerals.

By flying miniaturized imagers mounted to drones, airplanes and satellites, we are able to detect a range of biological and geological

materials and properties that is much wider than traditional RGB and more modern multispectral imagers.

Our data relies on spectral coverage and spectral resolution to detect materials on the Earth. We can even determine the abundance of the material and the strength of absorption based on wavelength

Hyperspectral remote sensing combines imaging and spectroscopy in a single system which often includes large data sets and require new processing methods.

Hyperspectral data sets are generally composed of about 100 to 200 spectral bands of relatively narrow bandwidths (5-10 nm), whereas, multispectral data sets are usually composed of about 5 to 10 bands of relatively large bandwidths (70-400 nm).

Our images include the best spectral resolution and the most amount of spectral bands currently available commercially.
