As autonomous technologies continue to advance, collaboration between government, industry and technology leaders is becoming increasingly important in moving new capabilities from development into operational use.
GCXpo 2026 brought together leaders from across government, defence, industry and Canada’s innovation ecosystem to explore how emerging technologies can address complex operational challenges.
For Volatus Aerospace, the event provided an opportunity to demonstrate that progression firsthand, from conversations on the exhibition floor and discussions on stage to live aircraft demonstrations supported remotely by our Operations Control Centre in Vaughan.
Volatus Aerospace CEO Glen Lynch joined fellow industry leaders on the Tested Before Trusted panel at the Accenture Defence Stage, discussing the importance of validating emerging technologies in operational environments.
Volatus aircraft took to the field during live demonstrations, giving attendees an opportunity to see uncrewed capabilities operating firsthand.
Aircraft demonstrations were supported remotely from Volatus Aerospace’s Operations Control Centre in Vaughan, highlighting how centralized command-and-control infrastructure can support distributed operations.
The future of autonomous systems will depend not only on technological advancement, but on collaboration between the organizations developing, regulating, adopting and operating these capabilities.
Events such as GCXpo create an important environment for those conversations.
Volatus Aerospace works across the full operational ecosystem — combining uncrewed aircraft, autonomy, remote operations, systems integration, training and real-world aviation experience to help organizations evaluate and deploy emerging technologies responsibly.
Whether you are exploring autonomous operations, evaluating new uncrewed capabilities, developing defence or public-safety applications, or looking to move a piece of technology from demonstration into operational deployment, our team is ready to help.
