Welcoming NGC Aerospace to CAAM

We are proud to welcome NGC Aerospace as a new CAAM member. Their expertise in autonomous systems and aerospace software strengthens our shared mission to build a future-ready, safe, and innovative air mobility landscape in Canada. NGC’s contributions in guidance, navigation, and control systems are helping unlock the next chapter in aviation—from remotely piloted aircraft to fully autonomous aerial operations.

Who is NGC Aerospace?

NGC Aerospace is a high-tech Canadian SME recognised globally for its development of guidance, navigation, and control software systems. These technologies are designed to enable the autonomous operation of aerial and space vehicles—such as remotely piloted and autonomous aircraft, satellites, landers and rovers.

NGC’s comprehensive suite of aerial systems solutions includes:

  • Tailored software development
  • Validation, and commissioning services
  • Vehicle and flight management software (including autopilot functionality)
  • Detect-and-avoid systems and landing zone assessment
  • Scaled flight test platform design and deployment
  • High-fidelity software and hardware-in-the-loop simulators

This deep expertise positions NGC as a vital player in building safe, reliable, and autonomous aerial operations for a wide range of missions and platforms.

Why NGC Aerospace Matters for AAM

As Canada works to integrate Advanced Air Mobility into Canada’s transportation network, the ability to safely and autonomously operate aircraft becomes a key enabler. This is where NGC’s experience shines. Their ongoing work on AAM projects—developing software systems for remotely and optionally piloted aircraft directly contributes to solving complex challenges such as airspace navigation, detect and avoid, and landing zone assessments.

Advanced AAM concepts like urban air mobility, drone deliveries, and autonomous flights rely heavily on robust software for flight management, navigation, and in-flight decision-making. NGC’s proven capabilities in mission-critical systems are therefore essential to turning those concepts into everyday reality.

The Road Ahead: Building Trust in Autonomy

NGC Aerospace is not only building innovative software; it’s helping to build trust in autonomy. With each project, test, and deployment, they are paving the way for a future where uncrewed and optionally piloted aircraft operate confidently and securely in Canadian skies.

Through CAAM, NGC is looking forward to connect with stakeholders who share common or complementary goals—whether in regulatory development, technology deployment, or systems integration. This collaboration will support a coordinated and cross-sector approach to AAM, ultimately benefiting Canadians through safer, cleaner, and more efficient air mobility.
