Aerial Vehicle Safety Solutions
"When Landing Is Not An Option."
Canadian developer of ASTM F3322-compliant parachute recovery and flight termination systems for commercial DJI drones, plus guided delivery systems.
Aerial Vehicle Safety Solutions Inc. (AVSS), founded in 2017 in New Brunswick, Canada, develops compliant safety technologies for commercial and dual-use uncrewed aircraft.
Its core products are Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) for DJI enterprise drones, each pairing a field-replaceable, prepacked Parachute Pod with an electronic module, an autonomous triggering device, and a plug-and-play flight termination system (FTS) with an optional 0-meter deployment. Systems deploy in under 0.5 seconds and are designed to let operators legally fly over populated areas. AVSS builds model-specific units including the PRS-M300 (DJI Matrice 300 RTK), PRS-M350 (M350 RTK), PRS-M30 (Matrice 30/30T), PRS-M4S (Matrice 4 Enterprise/Thermal), PRS-M3DT (DJI Dock 2, M3D/M3TD), PRS-M4DT (DJI Dock 3, M4D/M4TD), and a Mavic 3 Enterprise/Thermal system. Products carry documentation for civil aviation authorities, including ASTM F3322 (F3322-18 / F3322-24a), EASA MOC 2511, and EASA MOC 2512 compliance, and reference ISO 21384-3. AVSS supplies a Custom PRS Integration service for drone manufacturers and works with top-tier drone makers. Its products are sold worldwide through more than 70 partners, with resellers including RMUS and Advexure.
In 2020 AVSS expanded into guided and unguided delivery systems for critical resupply when landing a drone, helicopter, or small airplane is not an option, combining autonomously guided resupply hardware, low-altitude unguided parachutes, Snow Darts for avalanche management, and AVSS ground-control software for mission preplanning and automation. Target sectors include drone delivery, public safety, and industrial inspection. Parachute Pods are field-repackable, and each PRS includes a one-year warranty.
