Advanced UAV Research, Engineered for Defense and Civil.

2 active R&D programs Class I to long-endurance Made in Canada Defense · Civil · Environmental

Overview

A Canadian UAV R&D house, working at the intersection of aerospace and software.

Web4You’s UAV Innovations program covers two parallel tracks: a field-tested attritable interceptor platform built for time-sensitive deployment, and a long-endurance hydrogen-powered platform under feasibility study for civil and government applications. Both projects share a common engineering foundation — modular airframe design, custom electronics, AI-capable payloads, and the prototyping discipline to move quickly from concept to validated prototype.

01Bird of Prey
Attritable UAV Interceptor

Engineered for speed, agility, and rapid-deployment counter-UAS operations. Built on a proprietary aerodynamic platform with a modular payload system.

The challenge

Demand for low-cost, modular interception.

The increasing use of unmanned aerial systems in reconnaissance and strike roles has created sustained demand for low-cost, modular, and reliable interception solutions. Operators need systems that combine rapid deployment, operational flexibility, and high reusability — while remaining affordable enough to be used at the scale modern operations require.

Our solution

A Class I attritable platform, in field testing.

The Bird of Prey (BOP) is a Class I, Small UAV interceptor — attritable by design, currently in advanced stages of field testing. The platform combines a proprietary aerodynamic airframe with a modular payload bay and reconfigurable electronics suite, allowing rapid setup for both kinetic and non-kinetic missions including RF countermeasures and surveillance.

Key features

Engineered Systems, Modular by Design.

01

Aerodynamic Airframe

A reverse-sweep wing configuration delivers stability at high speed and control at low speed, supporting both interception precision and pre-engagement loitering.

02

Camera & Video Signal

Low-light camera produces high-quality imagery in evening conditions. Supports standard channels with 4 additional configurable channels in the 6010–6080 MHz range, with optional video scrambling.

03

Communication

Dual-channel board enables in-flight frequency switching across 433–490 MHz / 850–950 MHz, with upgrade options for AES-256 encrypted multi-band operation (2.4 / 5.8 GHz, L/S/Ku-band, satellite).

04

Arming Initiation Board

Custom safety logic arms payload only after confirmed target acquisition. Reduces risk of accidental activation and supports safe recovery if a mission is aborted.
