49North and UNWAVE have agreed via memorandum of understanding to jointly produce and support counter-UAS systems. This arrangement backs Canadian aid to Ukraine and corresponds to a defence and security cooperation declaration the two nations issued September 10, 2026. The Canadian firm’s decades of defence program management and drone work, including Heron systems in Afghanistan plus ISR services in Ukraine, pair with UNWAVE counter-drone skills to meet changing Ukrainian needs and boost industrial links.
