The Canadian Drone Defence Solution
Sovereign electric- and turbojet-powered interceptor drones and propulsion systems for the Canadian Armed Forces and allied militaries.
PRE-REVENUE · DEVELOPMENT STAGEWhere we are today: RamPike is a pre-revenue company in the design and financing stage. We have not yet commenced manufacturing or made a sale. We have not yet received a commitment of any kind from the Canadian Armed Forces and do not intend to imply otherwise. Everything on this site — our products, capabilities, and timelines — describes what we intend to build, drawn from our business plan.
RamPike
nounA tall, resilient tree that remains defiantly standing as a lone sentinel after a forest fire.
A word in common recorded usage in Canada since the 1850s.
Three forces are driving the RamPike opportunity
Defence spending is surging
Canadian defence spending is projected to more than triple from 2014 levels, with policy now favouring sovereign, Canadian-built capability over foreign imports.
Warfare has been transformed
Ukraine and other conflicts show un-crewed systems, AI, and networked operations now decide battlefield outcomes — no longer emerging tech, but core requirements.
The CAF must modernize at scale
Canada enters its largest defence modernization cycle in generations. Rapid, innovative procurement is now essential to rebuild capacity and readiness.
A layered air defence strategy
RamPike intends to offer a layered air-defence strategy with both short-range electric and medium/long-range turbojet interceptor drones — designing and building both propulsion systems used in modern interceptors, in addition to the airframes, software and mission systems around them. These are planned products; none are yet in production.

Electric Interceptor Drones & Motors
RamPike intends to design and manufacture a low-cost, mass-producible interceptor of a type similar to Ukraine's combat-proven "Sting" interceptor, purpose-built to detect and destroy hostile loitering munitions such as Shahed/Geran-type drones at scale.
- High-KV brushless motors targeting speeds of roughly 280–315 km/h and ~30 m/s climb rates, comparable to combat-proven Sting-class platforms.
- AI-assisted guidance and FPV control planned for the counter-loitering-munition mission.
- To be powered by RamPike's own electric motors — a component category with no dedicated Canadian manufacturer today.
- Designed for the low unit cost the CAF's "Flood the Zone" requirement calls for — large volumes of attritable drones.

Turbojet Interceptor Drones & Engines
RamPike intends to design and manufacture a turbojet-powered interceptor drone, purpose-built to detect, pursue, and neutralize hostile un-crewed aircraft, helicopters, and loitering munitions — a capability the Department of National Defence has identified as virtually non-existent in Canada today.
- Turbojet propulsion planned to deliver the speed and climb rate needed for the fastest, highest-altitude threats.
- Domestically produced turbojet engines in the 22–40 lb thrust class — a category with almost no dedicated Canadian manufacturer today.
- Being engineered for Canadian climate extremes, with emphasis on Arctic operations.
- Planned parachute recovery system for safe, controlled descent if the drone is returned to base.

A sovereign manufacturer for a market that needs one
Vertically integrated propulsion, by design
RamPike intends to design and build both propulsion systems used in modern interceptor drones — electric and turbojet — not just the airframes.
No dedicated Canadian competitor
In both high-KV electric drone motors and 22–40 lb turbojet engines, RamPike plans to address categories with no established Canadian manufacturer today.
Sovereign, non-Chinese-content supply
Domestic propulsion manufacturing is intended to reduce exposure to foreign supply-chain risk and support "Buy Canadian" and allied non-Chinese-content requirements.
Experienced, mission-aligned team
Decades of combined experience across military and commercial aviation, drone regulation, software development, and business management.
