I can’t say enough great things about Canadian UAVs and the Sparrowhawk team! Our agency knew this radar would be a great addition to our DFR program the moment we began researching it and speaking with their team. We have been very impressed with this system and their customer service is the best in the industry. With this radar, we have been approved by the FAA to operate with a 400’ BVLOS waiver and we currently run DFR shifts 6 days a week.

Starting in 2017, Canadian UAVs has pioneered multiple external and internal flight operations with Suncor Ft. Hills. Their aviation first approach and focus on getting the best data value for the our team has reduced turn-around times, increased safety and saved money for our business.

Sean McGinn

Snr Construction Manager, Suncor Energy Inc

I had the privilege of collaborating with Canadian UAV’s on several high-profile military contracts, and I can confidently say that their expertise and commitment to excellence set them apart in the defense industry. From the outset, their team demonstrated a deep understanding of the unique demands of military operations, delivering cutting-edge UAV technology that exceeded expectations in less-than-ideal conditions. 

Their attention to detail, particularly in ensuring the robustness and reliability of their systems, was crucial in meeting the stringent requirements of our defense projects. The company's ability to adapt to evolving operational needs and their proactive approach to problem-solving were key to maintaining mission success.

Here at the Foremost UAS Test Range, we’re Sparrowhawk Radar's first client! As a Radar Technical Specialist spanning over 40 years, I can honestly state that this is the most cost efficient ground based radar not only for detect and avoid (DAA) but for situational awareness!

Steve Donovan

Operations Manager, Foremost UAS Test Range

Sparrowhawk is a cost effective way to accomplish BVLOS. This radar has provided Irving PD with a key piece of equipment to achieve BVLOS up to 400 feet. We started our DFR program in March [2025] and we already have numerous examples of how DFR has improved safety to our community and our police officers, reduced response times to critical calls for service, and even eliminated the need for a police response.
