Regulatory Alignment
CounterSwarm is a defensive readiness and assessment platform — not an active countermeasure. This page maps our capabilities to the six frameworks most relevant to Canadian federal departments, DND, and critical-infrastructure operators.
No authorization pathway required
CounterSwarm involves no jamming, no spoofing, no kinetic defeat, and no signal interference of any kind. This means no Radiocommunication Act authorization, no ISED approval, and no C-UAS System Authorization is required to begin a pilot engagement. DND, RCMP, Transport Canada, and most CI operators can proceed under existing departmental authority.
Six frameworks reviewed by Canadian federal and CI procurement teams evaluating counter-drone readiness software.
Transport Canada
Requirement
Legal authority for drone interception — requires active countermeasure authorization
CounterSwarm Alignment
CounterSwarm is defensive readiness and assessment software only. No jamming, spoofing, kinetic defeat, or active countermeasure of any kind. Zero authorization pathway required for Phase 1 engagement.
Public Safety Canada
Requirement
Operators of critical infrastructure must assess and document cyber-physical threat exposure
CounterSwarm Alignment
Site readiness modeling, incident documentation vault, and gap analysis reports directly address the C-26 documentation mandate for drone threat exposure at CI facilities.
Transport Canada
Requirement
Ground risk classification and site-specific risk methodology for RPAS operations
CounterSwarm Alignment
CounterSwarm Readiness Assessment methodology maps to SORA Ground Risk Class (GRC) categories — detection gap analysis and zone modeling produce output compatible with SORA documentation requirements.
Transport Canada / NAV CANADA
Requirement
RPAS operations near aerodromes — proximity restrictions and awareness requirements
CounterSwarm Alignment
Site zone modeling explicitly supports aerodrome proximity configuration. Detection coverage maps and gap reports align with the documentation requirements for TP 14692 compliance review.
Department of National Defence
Requirement
Force protection readiness documentation, tabletop exercise records, SOP validation
CounterSwarm Alignment
Scenario portfolio, tabletop drill artifacts, after-action reports, and SOP compliance scoring directly address DAOD 8015 readiness documentation requirements for DND installations.
Treasury Board Secretariat
Requirement
Sensitive government data must be handled under PROTECTED B controls
CounterSwarm Alignment
CounterSwarm assessments collect no PII. Evidence vault uses SHA-256 chain of custody. No government operational data leaves the assessment scope. No PROTECTED B data handling agreement required for the Readiness Assessment tier.
