Canadian UAVs, a leader in unmanned aviation solutions, has partnered with PDW (Performance Drone Works) to become the sole authorized reseller of the C100 multi-mission quadcopter in Canada.

This collaboration brings one of the most advanced tactical drones, already in service with the U.S. Army, into the hands of Canadian defense, emergency response, and industrial sectors.

The PDW C100 is a man-packable, long-endurance drone engineered for mission-critical operations. With a flight time of up to 74 minutes and a payload capacity of 10 lbs, the C100 supports a range of applications including intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), cargo delivery, and signals intelligence. Its modular architecture allows for seamless integration of third-party payloads, such as Trillium EO/IR gimbals, and features advanced autonomy, GNSS-denied navigation, and AES-256 encrypted communications.

The C100 is approved under the U.S. Department of Defense’s Blue UAS program, ensuring it meets stringent cybersecurity and supply chain standards. It is also equipped with Doodle Labs’ Helix Mesh Rider Radio, enhancing its performance in contested electromagnetic environments.

We’re excited to bring the C100 to Canada,” said Steve Cannon, Military Program Manager at Canadian UAVs. “This platform aligns with our commitment to providing cutting-edge, secure, and compliant UAV solutions for our Military and Government clients.”

Canadian UAVs is uniquely positioned to support the C100’s deployment across Canada. As the only RPAS company with Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) certification from Transport Canada, and with extensive experience in military-grade ISR operations, Canadian UAVs ensures that clients receive comprehensive support from procurement through to mission execution.
