Enabling Mission-Critical Monitoring for Defence Operations

Hexsor Scientific develops advanced sensing and analytical systems that meet the demanding requirements of defence and security operations. With a proven record of rugged, real-time environmental monitoring, our solutions are engineered for deployment on naval vessels, coastal installations, and autonomous platforms.

Project Spotlight: Supporting the Royal Canadian Navy

Hexsor successfully delivered its first defence project in collaboration with Thales Defence Canada and COVE, supported by ACOA.

Through this engagement, our system was deployed to detect and characterize chemical and biological contaminants in real-time, contributing to improved operational safety, crew well-being, and compliance with defence environmental standards.

Partnered with: Thales Canada
Client: Royal Canadian Navy
