UDS: Your 100% Legal Anti-Drone Shield in Canada

Drones are taking up a lot of airspace around the world these days, from filming footage for movies, delivering goods, collecting agricultural data, assisting in search and rescue operations, to military surveillance, target tracking, and attacks. They range in size from small recreational devices that fit in the palm of your hand to military drones that weigh over 600 kg. Meanwhile, the commercial drone market is expected to grow so rapidly that its current revenue of over 20 billion US dollars will increase to 500 billion by 2028. Unfortunately, several unfortunate incidents have been caused by drones and continue to increase daily.

Our UDS solution, UTM Canada's anti-drone shield , is 100% legal in Canada because it does not take control of drones like some other detection products. Several solutions on the market allow you to send a return-to-home (RTH) command or jam drones, but these methods are not legal in Canada. However, our solution is capable of detecting over 98% of the types of drones on the market.

The UDS displays the position , direction , and many other relevant information upon detection. Thanks to the power of UTM , the UDS maintains complete movement traceability 24/7 . This allows appropriate action to be taken and this sensitive information to be transmitted to the relevant authorities using different types of alerts, such as emails, SMS messages indicating the position and route taken, or voice messages.

The UDS system can be deployed anywhere, and we even have a mobile solution for detection at a temporary location or even on the move. Thanks to our extensive U-Link network, currently available in Canada, the United States, and Mexico, data passes through a high level of encryption, beyond proposed industry standards. This network, interconnected on highways entirely dedicated to our applications, thus allows for ultra-fast latency, allowing data to be collected in real time.

Your UDS can operate without intervention and send you the requested information according to your criteria. This flexibility and efficiency make the UDS an ideal solution for airspace surveillance and security , while complying with Canadian regulations.

NEW REGULATIONS – ENHANCED PROTECTION AGAINST DRONES

As of April 1, 2025 , an update to Canadian regulations requires that all drones, including those weighing less than 249 grams , can no longer fly over festivals, public events or gatherings without official authorization from Transport Canada .

This responsibility now falls directly on event organizers , who must manage their airspace and ensure compliance. Any drone operating without permission in these areas is considered in violation . This is where UTM Canada comes in with its anti-drone shield : a proactive and effective solution to detect, identify and neutralize unauthorized drones, thus ensuring public safety and regulatory compliance. source : https://tc.canada.ca/fr/aviation/safety-drones/summary-changes-bring-2025-regulations-canadienne-drones
