Thirteen programs across Air, Water, Underground and CDNS Autonomy, and CDNS KAOS on the ground beside them. The cards below name each family; the index under them holds all thirteen. Filter by family, or search a name or a designation.
The domains of machines Canadian Shield builds, CDNS KAOS on the ground, and CDNS Autonomy for the machines a customer already owns. Four filters run over the roster below.
Three programs on one launch chain: an unpowered pneumatic interceptor round, a capture nose and a powered premium interceptor.
Goose CS-110 · Encapsulator CS-111 · CS-120
A tracked work platform that takes standardized mission modules and goes into ground a person should not. The work is lifting and carrying, towing and recovery, and power off the deck — and, with a flail on its arms, proving ground before anyone walks on it.
KAOS Light · KAOS Core CS-270 · KAOS Heavy · Mine clearance
Two moulded low-signature platforms — one tooling decision buys the manufacturing case and the low signature both — and an uncrewed workboat that lifts what they find off the bottom.
CS-310 · CS-320 · KMM-01, a configuration rather than a third program
Boring, tunnel reconnaissance, buried sensing and pipeline riding, on thirty years of directional-drilling heritage. CS-410 is the drill, in air-drop, skid and trailer configurations.
CS-410 · Aquifer CS-411 · CS-425 · CS-430 · Trembler Line CS-435 · CS-460
Every other program on this site is a machine Canadian Shield builds. This one is the operator for machines a customer already runs.
Responder CS-810 · Defender CS-820
The Fleet is the front door to the eleven programs Canadian Shield builds; CDNS Autonomy is the door to the two that work a machine somebody else owns. CDNS KAOS sits beside the roster rather than inside it, because it is one architecture in several configurations rather than a numbered program. The filtered index below is the thirteen.
Showing all 13 programs
A surface plant that pushes a steerable head into ground with no line, no map, no signal.
Coiled-tubing bore, fibre-guided — conduit installed, water table mapped, nothing to jam.
Recon, mapping and locating in existing tunnels and culverts — with a block-only interpose capability, always human-confirmed.
A passive seismic and acoustic node on long-life battery — reporting only over a buried fibre link.
No program matches that search.
Every card opens the same shape of page, so two programs can be read beside each other without learning a second layout.
A program page covers its mechanism, doctrine and deployment in one read. It opens on what the platform is, walks how it works, groups every number into one specification sheet, states the doctrine the design obeys, and closes on the deployment.
The roster is wide. The same four sentences govern every entry on it.
No radio and no GPS in any Canadian Shield design: nothing in the fleet transmits by radio, and nothing guides on a link. Every platform is a carrier: no warhead, no fuze, no energetic material, and nothing operates a weapon. AI plans, rules govern, humans authorize, and safety has veto. Nobody is in harm's way.
The doctrine states those sentences in full, and Technology carries the three guidance tiers and the authority order behind them. Capabilities cuts the roster by what a program delivers rather than where it works, and Procurement is the route in for a government, a prime or a supplier.
It holds across all thirteen programs and every KAOS configuration, for every customer.
A designation is a fine place to start. So is the ground, the domain or the task, with no program named at all.
Say which programs you were reading and what you need them to do. The reply names the ones that fit, the ones that do not, and what a screened conversation would cover. Every enquiry is screened before any discussion, the export posture is counsel-first and permits are issued per shipment. Nothing here is an offer, and this site carries no prices.
