## Company

- Name: Incanta Technologies Inc., known as Incanta.
- Location: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
- General enquiries: info@incanta.ca.
- Field: Software for defence, with a current focus on uncrewed aircraft planning, shared airspace and human review.
- Mission: Building the future of defence.

Incanta develops software that helps people turn complex operational questions into plans they can inspect, compare and review. Its current public work brings routes, timing, airspace constraints and recorded decisions into a shared workspace.

The company's approach emphasizes local and offline operation, clear spatial information, simulation before live activity, and explicit human decisions. Its journal explores these principles in the context of Canadian defence software, uncrewed systems and sovereign technology.

## Projects

- [Aerlattice](https://incanta.ca/projects/aerlattice): Plan, deconflict and monitor uncrewed aircraft in a shared airspace.

### Aerlattice

Plan, deconflict and monitor uncrewed aircraft in a shared airspace.

Windows desktop · 0.10.2 · Demonstrator

## A shared view

Move between 2D planning and the 3D scene. One exercise clock connects routes, recorded observations and simulation.

## Development status

Aerlattice is a desktop demonstrator. It sends no aircraft commands and grants no operational clearance.

Operational rules, representative user studies and real-world validation remain further work.

**Plan: Give the mission shape.** Draw a route in 3D and give each waypoint a height and time. Set the aircraft’s limits, mission windows, priority and radio-channel needs before checking the request. A timed flight request.

- Route, height and timing
- Aircraft limits and mission windows
- Radio channels and priority

**Deconflict: Compare the options.** Check the request against other flights, restricted volumes, weather and radio use. Findings show where and when a conflict occurs. Compare changes to the route, timing and channel assignment. Alternatives you can inspect.

- Conflicts located in space and time
- Route and departure alternatives
- A fresh check for every saved draft

**Review: Keep the decision human.** Accept, reject or pre-empt a request with a recorded review note. After a fresh feasible check, reserve a 4D tunnel or box. Accepted revisions stay fixed until an explicit replacement decision. A decision with a record.

- Review notes and decision history
- Checked airspace tunnels and boxes
- Versioned plans and reservations

**Monitor: Follow the plan through time.** Run an exercise or replay recorded observations. Review route deviations, feed loss and projected collision alerts on the shared timeline. Replacement routes remain drafts for human review. An exercise you can replay.

- Recorded or simulated observations
- Deviation and feed-loss alerts
- Reviewed replacement drafts

**A local workspace.** Planning, checking, project storage and local rendering work offline. Plans, assessments, decisions and recordings stay together in the desktop workspace. Complete workspace backups keep that record portable.

**Airspace in four dimensions.** Time is part of every route and reservation. The planning engine checks occupied volumes over their active intervals, including retained tunnels and boxes. Required waypoints and locked times remain constraints when alternatives are generated.

**Planning data and exports.** Import trajectories, polygon restrictions, weather reports and crewed flight plans into the exercise. Export project records or GeoJSON plans and reservation volumes. Imported data retains its supplied source information.

**Exercises and simulator inputs.** Eight supplied exercises cover traffic, weather, route detours, timing, radio contention and monitoring incidents. An optional receive-only MAVLink connection brings simulator telemetry into the workspace. An optional ADS-B layer displays external aircraft when connected to the internet.

## Journal articles

- [Where we’re taking Incanta next](https://incanta.ca/blog/after-aerlattice-whats-next): Aerlattice is our first public project. We’re focused on learning what it takes to make flight planning and review more useful.
- [Keeping a useful record of a planning decision](https://incanta.ca/blog/safety-cases-for-uncrewed-defence-flights): A reviewer returning to a plan needs to understand what was checked, what changed and why an option was accepted. The record should make that possible.
- [Working through a flight request in Aerlattice](https://incanta.ca/blog/uncrewed-flight-planning-field-guide): An introduction to the demonstrator’s workflow, from setting up a request to checking alternatives and recording a decision.
- [Building Incanta in Canada](https://incanta.ca/blog/what-made-in-canada-means-for-defence): Incanta is based in Ottawa. We want the value of building here to show up in the work we can develop, maintain and explain.
- [Keeping people involved in automated planning](https://incanta.ca/blog/human-on-the-loop-autonomy): When software suggests a change, someone needs enough information and control to review it. Aerlattice keeps that decision explicit.
- [What comes after a working demonstrator?](https://incanta.ca/blog/from-demonstrator-to-operational-workbench): Aerlattice shows how the planning workflow can work. Establishing whether it is ready for operational use takes a different kind of evidence.
- [Why we started with airspace](https://incanta.ca/blog/multi-domain-awareness-starts-with-airspace): We chose a specific planning problem for our first project: helping people understand how proposed flights fit together.
- [Where planning ends and aircraft control begins](https://incanta.ca/blog/airspace-workbenches-and-command-systems): Aerlattice helps people prepare and review flight plans. Understanding that role also means being clear about its connections to simulated and external traffic.
- [Why build airspace software in Canada?](https://incanta.ca/blog/why-canada-needs-indigenous-airspace-tools): We want Canada to have companies that can develop and maintain the software behind its defence capabilities. Aerlattice is where we’re starting.
- [Making flight-planning software easier to use](https://incanta.ca/blog/defence-software-operators-will-use): A useful planning tool helps someone understand a route, make a change and see what that change affects. Those are the interactions we’re focusing on.
- [Planning when the picture is incomplete](https://incanta.ca/blog/uncrewed-systems-and-the-contested-sky): A missing feed or a late update changes what a reviewer knows. Planning software needs to make those limits understandable.
- [How we’re building Aerlattice](https://incanta.ca/blog/how-incanta-builds-defence-products): We started with the work of planning and reviewing a flight. That gives us a clear way to decide what belongs in the product.
- [What we can learn from a flight-planning exercise](https://incanta.ca/blog/simulation-before-live-uncrewed-operations): An exercise lets someone follow a plan through time, introduce a change and revisit the decision afterwards. Its value depends on understanding what it represents.
- [Comparing ways to change a flight plan](https://incanta.ca/blog/comparing-uncrewed-aircraft-routes): A conflict may be resolved by changing the route, moving the departure time or choosing another radio channel. Each option affects the plan differently.
- [What working offline means in Aerlattice](https://incanta.ca/blog/offline-first-defence-software): Planning should remain usable when there’s no internet connection. Here’s what runs locally in Aerlattice and which optional features need a connection.
- [Understanding an airspace conflict](https://incanta.ca/blog/airspace-conflict-detection-for-defence): When two plans overlap, a reviewer needs to know where, when and why. A useful check connects its findings to the request being considered.
- [Giving a reviewer enough context](https://incanta.ca/blog/planning-uncrewed-flights-with-human-review): Reviewing a flight takes more than looking at a route. The reviewer needs to understand the request, the checks and the reasons for any changes.
- [What control over defence software looks like](https://incanta.ca/blog/canadian-sovereign-defence-technology): For us, control starts with practical questions: where the work is stored, what it depends on and whether it can continue when a service is unavailable.
- [A closer look at Aerlattice](https://incanta.ca/blog/what-is-aerlattice): Aerlattice brings flight plans, airspace checks and review decisions into one desktop workspace. Here’s how the current demonstrator works.
- [Building defence software in Ottawa](https://incanta.ca/blog/building-the-future-of-defence-in-canada): We’re Incanta Technologies, an Ottawa-based company building software for defence. Our first project helps people plan and review uncrewed flights.
