Canadian Armed Forces Choose Leonardo’s Counter-Drone Tech
Leonardo has been awarded a contract by Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) to provide its Falcon Shield C-UAS system for operation by the Canadian Armed Forces.
The company will provide a number of systems and a 10-year sustainment package that includes options for additional equipment and the spiral development of new capabilities.
The first systems will be delivered later this year with the Canadian Armed Forces that will immediately deploy Falcon Shield to forward operating bases to protect deployed personnel.

Falcon Shield is the UK’s solution to the growing threat from group 1 to 3 (smaller, slower and lower flying) UAS, which are usually undetectable by conventional air surveillance equipment. Using a mix of advanced sensors from Leonardo and industry partners, the system detects, tracks and prioritises threats and gives operators the means to neutralise them effectively.
Produced at Basildon and Southampton sites, Falcon Shield is in service with the UK’s Armed Forces and is available for export customers worldwide. Leonardo continues to update Falcon Shield to ensure it remains cutting-edge in a rapidly evolving security landscape.
For its UK Royal Air Force (RAF) customer, Leonardo has delivered seven complete baseline counter-drone systems (called ORCUS in RAF service) for the service’s ‘Synergia’ research and development programme.
