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

 

Emerging Innovation: Real-Time Fuel Quality Monitoring

Hexsor Scientific is developing a mobile, real-time fuel quality monitoring system designed to detect microbial contamination in fuels. This advanced platform combines rapid analytical sensing, AI-driven diagnostics, and field-ready portability to ensure mission-critical fuel reliability in defence and remote operations.

By identifying early signs of microbial growth, water ingress, and other contaminants, the system helps prevent engine failure, fuel degradation, and operational downtime — ensuring fleet readiness and safety.

 

Key Capabilities

    • Real-time Environmental Monitoring
      Detect airborne, waterborne, and fuel-based contaminants in harsh marine and defence environments.

    • Modular Sensor Architecture
      Seamlessly integrates with naval systems, drones, or field-deployed units.

    • Low-SWaP Design
      Optimized for low Size, Weight, and Power — ideal for autonomous and mobile applications.

    • AI-Powered Analytics
      Enables automated data interpretation, predictive diagnostics, and early warning systems.

    • CBRN Readiness
      Sensor technologies adaptable for detection of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats.
