In the @financialpost, CEO @EliotPence and VP of Maritime Programs Matt Clancey argue that Canada’s first tender for an autonomous vessel is a chance to control the technology that will define the @RoyalCanNavy's future. Dominion, alongside partners @OSIMaritime, @abco_inc, and @kongsbergasa, has submitted a proposal to build the Navy's first operational uncrewed surface vessel. We believe that the autonomy and command and control architecture that connects the fleet must stay in Canadian hands, and we’re ready to build it.

This could be your week at Dominion. Flying in helicopters, camping in the mountains, and avoiding grizzly bears. 👇 youtu.be/Q-xf2ycDB_Y

The scale of what Canada is building is hard to overstate: --Churchill Falls = roughly 9 nuclear reactors worth of clean power. --Pacific Link = an oil export route approaching the consumption of the entire UK. --LNG Canada Phase 2 = enough gas to equal roughly half of Canada’s domestic consumption.
Churchill Falls: The largest clean energy investment in North American history. Pacific Link: A pipeline to the West Coast that will unlock new markets. LNG Canada Phase 2: The second-largest LNG facility of its kind in the world. Canada is working. We’re unleashing our full potential as a global energy superpower — and we’re just getting started.

Change the country - stand on our two feet. Defend the Dominion.
For Benoit Breault, Senior Vice-President of Aerospace Engineering, the chance to be part of building Dominion Scout, Canada’s first sovereign Autonomous Collaborative Platform, led him to join Dominion. Now, he's building out his team. youtu.be/0YmimP0lDkc

A normal day at @DominionDynamic!
Lift off in the Yukon. Our team is flying into the field to deliver product directly to the customer. At Dominion, being forward deployed means going to the most remote parts of the country to get the job done.

Pre-budget thoughts from our guy @EliotPence! “Build–Partner–Buy should operate as a genuine hierarchy, not merely as an ordering of the options. The Defence Industrial Strategy should be accelerated with a renewed focus on the first pillar: build”
"Budget 2026 decides whether new defence spending produces deployable capability built by firms Canada controls, and whether Canada can set the course for an industrial pivot." CEO @EliotPence shares insight into Dominion’s pre-budget submission to the federal government and the measures that will allow Canada to truly build a sovereign defence industrial base.

Blackstone President Jon Gray says Canada has massive opportunities to grow due to its natural resources, looser regulatory policies and access to private capital. “Canada is a sleeping giant economically," he said Tuesday at an investment summit in Toronto bloom.bg/46maKk1

In Latvia this week, I sat down with Canadian soldiers serving with Task Force Latvia and our NATO allies to discuss what they need and how industry can help. There’s a lot to be proud of in the people we have serving overseas. Their professionalism and commitment stay with you. I also came away encouraged by their willingness to share problems, engage with builders and technologists, and move quickly. That openness hasn’t always been my experience. The urgency we hear from our Prime Minister and senior military leaders seems to be taking hold on the ground. Industry has been ready to move. There’s now a real opportunity to move together and get our troops the capabilities they need.

We've been building a self-powered command pod that uses both acoustic and camera detection to track environmental anomalies. Matt, Embedded Systems Engineer, shows how we've designed this pod to operate in Canada's most remote regions without any human interaction. ⬇️ youtu.be/bPhgDysVmXM?si=LvbD…

Last week, Dominion engineers tested Taku, our ISR tower, at night. Operators will be expected to assemble and connect the tower in low-light and no-light conditions. So our engineers did the same, linking Taku to AuraNet's common operating picture. youtube.com/watch?v=mhV8Zkm_…
