September 3, 2025 (Ontario, Canada) — Volatus Aerospace has secured a Transport Canada Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC) enabling the expansion of Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations across multiple industries. This milestone marks a significant step toward scalable, fully automated drone-in-a-box services in Canada’s rapidly advancing autonomous aviation sector.

The approval includes the deployment of MatrixSpace radar and Kongsberg’s IRIS command-and-control platform, which together enhance operational reliability, detect-and-avoid performance, and compliance for long-range autonomous flights. Volatus aims to support essential applications such as security patrols, utility inspections, wildfire monitoring, and environmental surveillance.

“This approval positions us at the forefront of automated drone services,” said a Volatus Aerospace spokesperson. “We’re accelerating Canada’s ability to deploy unmanned systems where they are most urgently needed.”

This expansion aligns with rising global demand for infrastructure automation and real-time monitoring, placing Volatus among leading contenders pushing North American BVLOS commercialization.
