CALGARY, AB, May 29, 2025 /CNW/ - North Vector Dynamics (NVD) has officially emerged from stealth, offering advanced and cost-effective counter-uncrewed aerial systems (CUAS) solutions.

In an era where resilient infrastructure and sovereign data pipelines are essential, StirlingX enables operators to collect, fuse, and act on critical data, regardless of the platform. Based in the UK, their autonomy and data architecture are hardware-agnostic and built to scale across unmanned systems, delivering Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) where it’s needed most: energy grids, transportation networks, defence infrastructure, and beyond.

Kensington today announced the acquisition of the venture capital investment business of ONE9, the Ottawa-based team led by founder and Managing Partner Glenn Cowan.

Space is the original dual-use frontier. Today there are roughly 9,500 active satellites; by 2030, there will be more than 80,000.

KITCHENER, ONTARIO — communitech.ca — A lot of innovations pitched to the military are “dual-use” technologies, with both defence and commercial applications.
