Defense-grade hardware.
Built in Canada.
From individual boards to complete airframes — SecLight engineers the full stack: flight controllers, ESCs, encrypted receivers, and two purpose-built UAV platforms. Every component designed domestically, assembled in-house, traceable end-to-end.
The full electronic stack — secured at every layer.
Commercial drone electronics are designed for cost, not security. Our boards are designed around a threat model — each component in the signal chain is encrypted, attested, and monitored.
Flight Controller
The brain of the airframe. Hardware root of trust, encrypted telemetry, and onboard anomaly detection baked into silicon — not bolted on after the fact.
- Dual-core ARM Cortex-M7 @ 480 MHz
- Triple redundant IMUs
- ATECC608B hardware crypto
- Hardware attestation at boot
- AES-256 C2 + TLS 1.3 telemetry
Electronic Speed Controller
ESC with MIL-grade components. No anonymous motor failure — every ESC reports current draw, temperature, and RPM back to the FC.
- 4-in-1, 55A continuous per channel
- UART telemetry reporting
- Real-time current & temp monitoring
- MIL-grade MOSFET package
Assembly Line for Your Needs
Need hardware built to your spec, under your program, at your volume? We open our assembly line to vetted partners. From prototype batch to production run — fully domestic, fully traceable.
- SMT assembly — boards to full airframes
- Custom production run sizing
- Serialized unit tracking & CoC docs
- Crypto provisioning at production
- Environmental stress testing included
- OEM / white-label delivery options
Two airframes. Every mission.
Built on our own hardware stack — both platforms run SecLight FC, ESC, and RX natively. No third-party flight controllers, no unaudited firmware.
10" Modular Platform
Multi-Role Aerial SystemA 10-inch class quadrotor built around a hot-swap payload bay. One airframe, multiple missions — reconfigure from ISR sensor to EO/IR camera to cargo drop in under 2 minutes without tools.
- EO/IR dual-sensor gimbal
- SIGINT passive RF collector
- Cargo drop mechanism
- LiDAR mapping pod
- Comms relay transponder
Interception Drone
Counter-UAS PlatformHigh-speed intercept platform designed to neutralize hostile UAVs in controlled airspace. Net-deployment payload and an RF disruption option cover both kinetic and non-kinetic engagements.
- Ballistic net launcher
- Directional RF disruptor
- Optical + thermal tracking
Commercial drones are a liability in contested airspace.
Off-the-shelf platforms are built for calm skies and cooperative infrastructure. Adversaries exploit unencrypted C2, GNSS vulnerabilities, and foreign-manufactured hardware to hijack, redirect, or weaponize commercial UAVs.
Navigation poisoned via counterfeit satellite signals — drone flies to attacker-controlled location.
Unencrypted command links intercepted and overridden by ground-based RF equipment.
Nation-state adversaries embed covert logic at the manufacturing level — undetectable without full supply-chain traceability.
Your mission. Our hardware. Configured for both.
No two operational requirements are identical. We work directly with operators, integrators, and procurement teams to configure hardware at board level, firmware level, or complete airframe level.
Custom Payload Integration
We design mechanical mounts, power rails, and data buses for customer-supplied sensors. From gimbal-stabilized optics to SIGINT pods — if it fits the weight envelope, we integrate it.
Mission-Specific Firmware Profiles
Flight behavior, failsafe logic, geofencing rules, and sensor fusion parameters are fully configurable per mission type. Profiles are signed and stored in secure flash — no unauthorized overrides.
Frequency & Protocol Selection
Choose operating frequency band, modulation scheme, and C2 protocol to meet theater-specific RF requirements. Supports proprietary encrypted links or customer-furnished radio systems.
OEM & Program Integration
Full OEM support for prime contractors and system integrators. We supply hardware at board, module, or assembled-airframe level — with documentation packages suitable for Canadian and allied procurement.
All custom work is scoped through a formal engineering engagement. We provide NRE estimates, design review milestones, and production readiness gates — suitable for Canadian DND and allied-nation procurement documentation requirements.
From bare board to serialized unit — in Canada.
Your program. Our line.
Full domestic production with no gap in traceability. Every unit that leaves our facility carries a serialized test report, provenance documentation, and a cryptographic identity burned at flash time. We also open our assembly line to vetted partners — whether you need a prototype batch of 10 or a production run of 500, we build it the same way: auditable, documented, and signed.
PCB Design & Fabrication
Schematics and layout designed in-house. PCBs fabricated domestically with tracked lot numbers. No offshore board houses for mission-critical designs.
SMT Assembly
Surface-mount component placement and reflow soldering performed on-site. Component reels are sourced from authorized distributors with CoC documentation.
Automated Optical Inspection
Every board passes AOI before depaneling. Solder joint quality, component orientation, and placement offsets are verified against Gerber reference.
Crypto Provisioning & Attestation
Crypto co-processor is provisioned with a unique device identity at production time. Serial number is burned and logged to the production database.
Environmental Stress Testing
Thermal cycling (-40 °C to +85 °C), vibration sweep, and EMI susceptibility checks performed per reference test plan. Failures trigger root-cause analysis before re-test.
Final QA & Chain-of-Custody
Human QA inspection, functional flight test on bench rig, and full chain-of-custody record generated. Units ship with serialized test report and provenance documentation.
Mission profiles
Canadian Armed Forces & Allied Units
ISR, perimeter security, and forward area reconnaissance. NATO-interoperable C2 architecture, ITAR-aware hardware, and geofenced no-fly-zone enforcement for safe operation in contested airspace.
Border Surveillance & Sovereignty
Long-endurance Arctic operations with GPS-denied navigation capability. Tamper-proof mission logs and encrypted data links meet national security evidentiary and operational standards.
Critical Infrastructure Protection
Power grids, pipelines, and secure facilities where drone hijacking has kinetic consequences. Hardware-enforced geofencing and kill-switch capability prevent airframe misuse.
Counter-UAS & Airspace Security
Deploy the SL-IX1 interception platform to neutralize hostile UAVs in restricted airspace. Pairs with ground-based detection arrays for automated threat-to-intercept handoff.
