Awareness that survives the conditions
Operational visibility is designed to continue through smoke, terrain, distance and communications degradation, rather than failing silently.
Canadian protective autonomy
Built to hold when everything else breaks.
AEROS connects responders, sensors, aircraft, ground systems and communications through A.V.A., a governed operating layer built for wildfire, defence and remote operations under degraded conditions.
- Human-commanded
- Vendor-neutral
- Degraded-comms continuity
- Audit-ready
- Built in Canada
The operating gap
Coordination fails before equipment does.
People, machines, sensors and command systems lose coherence when communications and conditions degrade. Crews move out of contact. Sensor feeds go stale without anyone being told. Aircraft and ground systems from different vendors cannot share an operating picture. Command loses visibility exactly when decisions matter most.
The equipment usually survives. The coordination between it does not. That gap is where AEROS operates.
Demonstrated evidence
A.V.A. held authority through a communications partition.
AVA-lite was exercised across connected, degraded and recovered operating states. The result came from a simulated field-governance environment, not a live field deployment.
- Phase A
Connected
Shared operating picture established across command and field nodes. Pre-mission authority parameters confirmed. Tamper-evident logging active. Baseline state locked.
- Phase B
Degraded
Communications link severed. Both nodes independently confirmed the partition. The field node continued within authorized mission limits only — no authority escalation, no permissions expanded. All actions logged throughout.
- Phase C
Recovered
Link restored. The record of all actions taken during the partition was reconstructed and presented to the operator. Human review was required and confirmed before operations resumed.
ResultDemonstrated
- Zero authority drift
- No action outside mission-defined limits
- Reviewable audit record
- Human review before resumption
- Reproducible
Flagship — wildfire and WUIIn development
Firebreaks stop the flame front. AEROS controls what happens behind it.
AEROS Ember Shield is a human-commanded, autonomy-enabled wildfire operating architecture. It connects incident command, crews, sensing, communications, aerial assets and ground systems into one governed operational picture — and keeps that picture usable when smoke, terrain and distance degrade everything else.
Crews stay located and routed
Crew position, route awareness and withdrawal support remain available to incident command, under incident command authority.
Governed coordination, not autonomous action
Aerial and ground assets are coordinated within limits humans set. Nothing expands its own authority.
Defence & security
Protective autonomy for contested, degraded and multi-vendor operations.
The forward environment already runs on equipment from many vendors, under contested communications, with no shared authority layer. AEROS provides governed coordination across those systems — passive-first, escalation-governed, and human-authorized outside predefined limits.
- Shared awareness across multi-vendor assets
- UAS and UGV interoperability without fleet replacement
- Degraded-communications continuity
- Counter-UAS coordination under human authorization
- Auditability and sovereign operational control
Capability layers
Five layers. One governed picture.
AEROS is organized around what the operation needs to do, not around what any single platform is called.
Observe
Official government data feeds, weather and wind information, remote sensing and field sensors build the operating picture — with source provenance attached.
Connect
Field communications and multi-transport continuity hold the network together when a single link degrades or drops.
Decide
A.V.A. and incident-command interfaces validate, prioritize and coordinate — strictly inside the authority humans have set.
Act
Approved aerial and ground systems execute coordinated tasks within their authorized envelope. Platform status is labelled honestly.
Protect
Crew awareness, medical and logistics support, and evacuation support keep people at the centre of the architecture.
Canadian execution
Built in Northern Ontario, for the conditions Northern Ontario has.
AEROS Systems Inc. is a Canadian company based in Smooth Rock Falls, Northern Ontario. Cold, distance, thin infrastructure and degraded communications are not edge cases we accommodated later — they are the conditions the architecture was designed around from the start.
AEROS owns the governance, interoperability, continuity and mission logic. Platforms come from partners and OEMs. That division is deliberate: a coordination standard that a single manufacturer controls will not be accepted by that manufacturer’s competitors.
2027 pilot pathwayPlanned pilot
We are opening a limited, controlled 2027 pilot conversation.
AEROS is looking to speak with wildfire agencies, municipalities, First Nations and Indigenous organizations, critical-infrastructure operators, technology partners and research or test organizations about a controlled 2027 pilot pathway.
Any 2027 pilot is limited and controlled, and remains subject to funding, engineering validation, safety testing, operator requirements, airspace permissions, regulatory approvals and partner availability. Nothing on this page implies a committed deployment. No pilot commitment exists unless a signed agreement is in place.
If this is relevant to your work, let’s talk.
Non-confidential briefings, technical review sessions, pilot design conversations and partner alignment discussions.
