About Us
DAYTA Systems brings together four years of active drone warfare experience with Canadian manufacturing excellence and Indigenous business leadership, delivering allied-grade drone systems to the Canadian Armed Forces and NATO partners.
Who We Are
DAYTA Systems is a Canadian defence technology company specializing in integrated drone systems for military and government procurement.
We design, manufacture, and support a full product line spanning strike, interception, detection, and command & control, all built to perform in demanding operational environments.
DAYTA is a joint venture between Social Drone UA and DAYTA Manufacturing, combining battlefield credibility with Canadian manufacturing, Canadian values, and a supply chain built for allied defence standards.
Our Founding Partners
Joint venture
Social Drone UA contributes battlefield-tested design experience; DAYTA Manufacturing brings Canadian manufacturing standards, ownership, and supply-chain accountability.
Battlefield IP & System Design
Social Drone UA has been designing, testing, and iterating drone systems in active operational environments in Ukraine since 2021.
Every product in the DAYTA catalogue reflects four years of real-world validation, not theoretical performance benchmarks.
Social Drone UA contributes the engineering expertise, design IP, and operational knowledge that makes DAYTA systems genuinely battle-proven.
Canadian Manufacturing & Indigenous Ownership
DAYTA Manufacturing is a majority Indigenous-owned Canadian manufacturer headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, with a manufacturing facility under development in Alberta.
DAYTA Manufacturing brings Canadian manufacturing standards, domestic supply chain relationships, and a proud Indigenous business foundation to the DAYTA joint venture.
DAYTA Manufacturing ownership makes DAYTA Systems one of the very few Indigenous majority-owned defence technology companies in Canada.
Our Mission
Drones are no longer supplementary capability. Canada and its NATO allies need access to systems that are battlefield-proven, supply-chain secure, and manufactured to allied standards.
Every system we sell has been validated in active combat conditions. We do not ask customers to be the first to test our technology.
No Chinese components in the signal chain. Canadian manufacturing. Full traceability. These are non-negotiable standards.
Operator training, sustainment support, spare parts supply, and return-to-depot support are standard parts of the relationship.
Our Commitment to Canada
At a time when supply-chain security and domestic industrial capacity have never been more important, DAYTA Systems represents the kind of company Canada's defence procurement ecosystem needs: Indigenous-owned, domestically manufactured, and built on four years of real operational experience.
We are committed to growing Canadian defence industrial capacity, creating meaningful employment in Northern and Western Canada, and delivering systems that give Canadian and allied forces a genuine battlefield edge.
Our team can brief procurement and technical evaluation teams on manufacturing, ownership, and system capability.
