Defense Robotics Technology
Event Summary

Calian Group Ltd. and Tessellate Robotics announced a new collaboration under Calian VENTURES to integrate, test, and scale next-generation autonomous navigation technologies. This partnership focuses on developing defense-ready autonomous capabilities for complex environments, including Canada's Arctic, where traditional satellite-based navigation systems are often degraded or denied. Calian will integrate its precision GNSS antennas, positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) technologies with Tessellate's advanced navigation and inspection technologies. The collaboration aims to accelerate Tessellate's growth and strengthen Canadian sovereign capability in autonomous systems, aligning with Canada's Defence Industrial Strategy and NORAD modernization efforts. Joint validation and field testing are underway, with the first operational deployment scheduled for March during Operation Nanook in the Arctic.
