BFS created and developed the Enterprise, a fixed wing UAS in the 25 kg (55 lb.) maximum weight category with superior payload-carrying performance, endurance and robustness. Enterprise evolved from our original technology demonstrator, the electric engine powered TD100E. Please see www.bricanflightsystems.com for more information on the TD100E. To date, several hundreds of flights and hours have been recorded with a variety of autopilots and sensor systems, including validation of hands-off autolaunch and autoland capability. To see videos of demonstration follow the link: http://bricanflightsystems.com/applications/#appvideo. Enterprise will be the first in a new family of unmanned systems. The company has enjoyed access to significant government funding for UAS development, which help make Enterprise unique in its class by funding fields such as low speed aerodynamics, propulsion and advanced composite materials. The vehicle is highly versatile and it can accept a variety of larger payloads than its competitors. Demonstrations have flown with high-resolution cameras, a thermal camera, georeferencing systems and magnetometers. It has also operated BVLOS (2013) and in the Canadian High Arctic (2013). A version using a multifuel engine has flown and it will provide substantial increases in range and duration necessary for utility inspections and military ISR applications. BFS is now reaching out to UAS operators to engage in ISR, Environmental and other airborne data collection and analysis demonstration programs.

Information about  The international unmanned vehicle systems (UVS) industry is increasingly looking to Alberta companies for the latest innovations in the industry. The province has a number of different features that contribute to the growth of a specialized network of companies involved in the UVS industry: a competitive corporate tax structure, ideal weather and facilities for testing UVS prototypes, and strong connections between government, academia, and businesses to share information and standards. These conditions for growth have led to a number of small clusters of expertise within the province, with specific focus on Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) applications regarding platforms, avionics and navigation systems, control systems, global positioning systems, systems integration, and wireless communications. The strategic importance of the UVS sector continues to grow as advances in robotics, artificial intelligence, wireless communications and platform developments have moved the sector not only into mainstream national defence, but also into a wide ranging host of civilian, commercial, industrial and agricultural applications including: pipeline surveillance, agricultural hyper-spectral imaging, and forestry monitoring. The UVS industry in Alberta provides opportunities for investment, economic growth, diversification, and a substantive innovation ecosystem enabling the high technology sectors. Alberta's UVS industry is globally competitive, well positioned and strategically networked to take advantage of investment and trade development opportunities in commercial, civilian and industrial sectors. The area around Foremost AB, has been designated restricted airspace for UAS. The Restricted Airspace consists of two CYR's with one in the west and one in the east. Together, the CYR's total nearly 700 nautical miles in size. There is a third CYR that overlays the other two and goes up to 18,000 feet above sea level. The area is centered on the Pakowki Lake bed in the southern most reaches of Alberta Range strategically chosen as the location for the establishment of this innovative training and development centre for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) technology. Geographically the region has unique attributes that make it an ideal location for the operation, development and training for UAS based out of the Foremost Aerodrome. FOREMOST UAS RANGE The Foremost UAS Range is 700 square nautical miles of Class F Restricted airspace up to 18,000 feet ASL for UAV systems research and development, test and evaluation, and systems training. Other Range facilities include the Foremost airport with a 3000 ft runway and a hangar large enough to accommodate up to MALE sized UAVs. It is located directly to the south of the Village of Foremost in southeastern Alberta. The Foremost UAS Range is ideally suited to Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flight operations as well as development and evaluation of payloads, communications, and sense and avoid technologies for BVLOS flights. Companies will be able to develop BVLOS technology that will enable the next generation of civil and commercial UAS applications.
