Last was at @NSCCIvany yesterday to share more about our company and learn about NSCC’s Applied Research and Workforce Development programs, among others.
Nova Scotia and the NSCC community have such a rich resource of energy and talent and we aspire to provide a place where students, grads and those already working in industry can come and be supported to do some of the most engaging and rewarding work of their careers, at the edge of uncrewed and autonomous systems.
Speaking of energy, thanks to Cole Gregory and Benjamin Nickerson for showing us around the Energy Lab and talking about some of the fantastic things they’ve built and what they’re working on. When the 8 foot tall robot greets you at the door - don’t be alarmed.
Sincere thanks to Dwayne MacLeod, Joanne Firth and Matt Adams for hosting us, for a great discussion, and for kicking off what we are sure will be a fruitful and mutually beneficial partnership.
Moments from Monday as guest speaker for Royal Military College Aerospace Club, Austin Denman - Special Projects from Last and Tucker Densmore - former F-18 pilot/Spec Ops.
Along with pictures taken from a C-130 Hercules of the RMC campus from the tail ramp and the RMC Aerospace Club posing with flag. Special thanks to club president Dennis Lu for organizing!
Canada has chosen @thyssenkrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) for the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project - the largest defence procurement in our country's history, and a multi-decade commitment that will reshape shipbuilding, sustainment, and defence innovation in Nova Scotia.
This is bigger than twelve submarines. It means jobs, apprenticeships, R&D partnerships, and a generational strengthening of the Atlantic defence supply chain - anchored right here in Halifax, Canada's Defence City and home of the Royal Canadian Navy's submarine sustainment capability.
At Last, we build multi-domain uncrewed systems - air, ground, surface, and subsurface - and manufacture them in Dartmouth, minutes from the Dockyard. The future submarine fleet will operate alongside uncrewed underwater and surface systems, and the ecosystem that sustains it will need sovereign Canadian manufacturing, secure supply chains, and interoperable command and control. That is exactly what we are building.
We are hiring, we are investing in Nova Scotia, and we are ready to work with TKMS, the @RoyalCanNavy, and the primes and partners who will deliver this program - as part of a supply chain that gets built at home.
Congratulations to everyone who brought this milestone to Halifax. The next chapter of Canadian naval capability starts here, and we are proud to be part of what comes next.
We're advancing.
Conversations and connections are continuing apace at Stampede. Special thanks to @NormanLeach9 at @WCDIA1, Pascal Ryffel at @albertacounsel and Queenie Guerra at Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters for their warm and welcoming hospitality!
Our first FPV UAV prototypes are packed and headed for Calgary.
There’s something fitting about hand-delivering them. Before these drones get in the air, they’re making the trip the old-fashioned way - carried by the same team building them and building the relationships behind them.
Alberta has always rewarded showing up in person, shaking hands, and earning trust face to face. That’s exactly why we’re heading to Stampede. 🤠
Our team is growing, which is great, because so is our print farm! Our sovereign UxV production capacity is growing every time FedEx backs the truck up.
4000 sq ft of brand new white epoxy floor. Ready for production! Thanks to Stonhard Canada of Burnside for putting this coating system in quickly and professionally.
The Last team is at COVE Demo Day today, engaging with the Nova Scotia oceantech ecosystem. A great kickoff from Cdr Teri Share of HMCS Margaret Brooke, who has commanded the AOPS vessel since 2024. #COVEDemoDay
We’re showing our “Argus” unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) prototype today at the H2O conference in Halifax. Argus features 4 rim-driven thrusters, onboard AI and a variety of sensor loadouts. It’s designed for inspection, exploration and surveillance missions in the most challenging environments.
Setting up our booth for the H2O Conference this week at the Halifax Convention Centre. Looking forward to a great week connecting with the ocean tech community. Come say hello at Booth 404!
Setting up Starlink at Last HQ today.
Fun fact: Each Starlink satellite has 3 optical space lasers that zip data between satellites at up to 200 Gbps, creating a massive mesh network in orbit!
From the factory floor to the stars… we’re officially powered by space lasers. 💥
