Transport Canada BVLOS Flight Operations

Expanding Possibilities Beyond Visual Line-of-Sight

BVLOS operations remove the traditional constraints of visual-range drone flights, allowing for large-scale aerial surveys, infrastructure inspections, and environmental monitoring without the need for constant visual contact. DCS’s BVLOS certification provides clients with a legal and efficient means to reduce operational costs, increase coverage area, and improve data accuracy.

Key BVLOS Applications:

BVLOS Inspections & Survey Missions

• Infrastructure Inspections – Power lines, pipelines, bridges, and remote industrial facilities.
• Mining & Quarrying – Site surveys, stockpile monitoring, and tailings dam assessments.
• Forestry & Environmental Monitoring – Vegetation analysis, habitat mapping, and conservation studies.

Long-Endurance UAV Operations

• Large-Area Mapping & Topographic Surveys – Covering vast areas with sub-centimeter accuracy.
• Disaster Response & Emergency Management – Wildfire surveillance, flood mapping, and search-and-rescue operations.
• Persistent Surveillance & Security – Continuous monitoring of high-risk or remote sites.

DCS’s BVLOS operations leverage advanced UAV platforms with long-range capabilities, enabling clients to gather high-resolution, mission-critical data efficiently and at a fraction of the cost of traditional aerial surveys.

Transport Canada Large RPAS (Over 25 kg) Flight Operations

Heavy-Lift UAVs for Advanced Applications

Transport Canada’s Large RPAS certification (>25 kg drones) allows DCS to operate heavy-payload UAVs equipped with cutting-edge sensors, cameras, and LiDAR technology. Large RPAS provide greater stability, endurance, and sensor capability, making them the ideal choice for industrial and scientific applications requiring high precision and extended mission duration.

Key Large RPAS Applications:

Heavy-Lift UAV Operations

• Transporting specialized sensors (e.g., multispectral, LiDAR, thermal, hyperspectral).
• Deploying customized payloads for specialized missions.

Large RPAS Inspections & Survey Missions

•  Energy Sector – Wind turbine, solar farm, and offshore platform inspections.

• Construction & Infrastructure – Large-scale project monitoring and site planning.

• Agriculture & Forestry – Advanced crop analysis, reforestation, and ecosystem studies.

DCS’s Large RPAS capabilities are ideal for industries requiring high-payload UAVs, offering greater range, data precision, and mission endurance.

Ensuring Safe & Compliant UAV Operations

Safety is paramount in BVLOS and Large RPAS operations. DCS employs Transport Canada-approved detect-and-avoid (DAA) systems that enable safe, legal, and scalable UAV operations in complex environments. Our multi-layered DAA approach, coupled with our industry-leading CONOPS, integrates both visual and hardware-based solutions, ensuring real-time risk mitigation and compliance with regulatory requirements.

DCS Multi-Layered DAA Approach:

1. Visual Observer DAA – Up to 4NM (7.4 km) per Flight

• Collision avoidance using real-time object detection.
• Integrated LiDAR, radar, and optical sensors to identify and classify obstacles.
• Maximum range of 4 nautical miles (7.4 km) within a single RPAS flight.

2. Proprietary Hardware-Based DAA – Up to 30NM (55.6 km) per Flight

• Long-range radar & ADS-B tracking for proactive airspace monitoring.
• Remote pilot-in-command oversight with real-time telemetry for extended mission control.
• Maximum range of 30 nautical miles (55.6 km) within a single RPAS flight.

3. Advanced Airspace Deconfliction & Transport Canada Compliance

• Pre-flight risk assessment and airspace authorization to mitigate operational hazards.
• Active coordination with NAV CANADA & local air traffic control (ATC) to ensure regulatory alignment.

DCS’s advanced DAA systems provide a comprehensive risk mitigation strategy, allowing for extended-range BVLOS and Large RPAS missions with maximum safety, reliability, and compliance.
