We Build Drones. We Train Pilots. We Shape the Future.
An ecosystem of independence — every part, made in Canada.
Who we are
At HRUN Drones , we’re building something Canada has never had before — a fully independent drone center. From manufacturing to satellite-connected communications and real-world pilot training, we’re doing it right here.
Our team has nearly 150 years of combined experience in drone development, aerospace engineering, and field deployment. Most of us have been building and flying UAVs for over 20 years — in real combat zones and critical civilian operations.
Now, with Canada’s infrstructure and our expertise, we’re in a unique position to make this country a global leader in drone manufacturing and pilot training. We’re not just making drones — we’re building the future of unmanned aviation, and training the best pilots in the world to fly it.
