Home/Battle-Proven UAS
Ukrainian battle-proven UAV portfolio

Battle-proven drones from Ukraine — for Canada and its allies.

Through a Ukrainian defence-industry partnership, Borealis delivers a modular UAV, counter-UAV, sensor, and secure-comms portfolio that has been designed, iterated, and hardened in the highest-intensity contested-EW environment on the planet. Every configuration — airframe, payload, data-link, launch method, and support package — is defined with the customer for their mission profile, regulatory environment, and end-use approvals.

Why this catalogue

Iterated under fire. Delivered to your programme.

These platforms come from an industrial base that ships, flies, loses, and re-designs UAVs weekly under sustained electronic-warfare pressure. That feedback loop is what separates a demo-ready quadcopter from a system that survives contested spectrum, deep GPS denial, and industrial-scale jamming.

  • Battle-tested designs — FPV, foldable, heavy-lift, interceptor, fixed-wing and flying-wing airframes refined through active combat use.
  • EW-hardened links — protected digital data-link ecosystem, alternate-band options, fiber-optic control from 5 km to 30 km, plus frequency-conversion retrofits.
  • Modular integration — customer selects frame, motors, batteries, cameras, VTX / receiver, antennas, and payload class.
  • End-to-end support — GCS, antenna column, Starlink option, training, spares, and documentation delivered by Borealis in-country.
Product families

Six mission families. One catalogue.

Each family covers multiple airframe sizes, link options, and payload classes. Final configuration is agreed with the customer against mission needs, regulatory environment, and budget.
