Future Mission: Foremost/CCUVS will enable Canadian and international companies to accelerate the development and commercialization of new UAS technologies: Provide non-military access to globally unique UAS training and development facilities Support and develop Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) UAS flight Leverage Foremost to prove-out UAS technologies for civil and commercial applications including environmental monitoring Strategic Objectives: CCUVS will transfer its assets and brand to the Village of Foremost to ensure that Canada becomes the for civil and ‘go to’ destination commercial UAS training, research and development. Foremost/CCUVS will: Work with Transport Canada/NAV CANADA to manage the restricted airspace near Foremost, AB Engage with industrial sectors that could benefit from embracing UAS technology in their operations Create a compelling value proposition for industry such that the Foremost UAS Range becomes sustainable over time Partner with Tecterra Geomatics, ACAMP and other key players in the Alberta technology and entrepreneurial ecosystem to leverage each capabilities others’ Partner with Defence Research & Development Canada (DRDC-Suffield) to ensure that relevant and appropriate scientific research & development is available for technology transfer and commercialization To the extent that they are willing to engage with a western Canadian partner, work to support the Unmanned Aircraft System Center of Excellence out of Alma, Quebec in their UVS testing needs due to lack of access to adequate airspace or limitations due to smaller size, more challenging geography, poorer climate, etc. Primary Goal: Going forward, the primary goal of Foremost/CCUVS is to develop Foremost in a way that leverages the unique assets and attributes in Southeastern Alberta to make Canada the world's leading country in the research, development and commercialization of UAS technology for civil and commercial applications. Supporting Goals: Supporting goals of Foremost/CCUVS initiative include: Develop the Foremost UAS Range of approximately 700 square nautical miles based out of the airport in Foremost, Alberta Support companies to research, develop and commercialize new technologies related to UAS Provide specialized UAS support services including operations, logistics, launch, intellectual property, regulatory approvals, and advisory services
