Ottawa-based Dominion Dynamics has signed a memorandum of understanding with Ukrainian firm Tencore to manufacture Termit ground drones in Canada starting next year.

The Ottawa-based defence company Dominion Dynamics has entered into a partnership with Ukrainian robotics company Tencore to begin manufacturing ground-based drone vehicles in Canada. The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding at a defence conference in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 13, 2026, outlining plans to produce Tencore’s Termit drone domestically and integrate Dominion’s software into the vehicles.
According to The Canadian Press, production of the Termit drone in Canada is expected to begin as early as next year. The agreement involves Dominion Dynamics installing its proprietary software into the Tencore vehicles. The Termit drone is described as a treaded vehicle that resembles a miniature tank. It has been deployed on Ukraine’s front lines for operations considered hazardous for human personnel, including resupply missions and mine-laying.
The partnership aligns with efforts by the federal government to encourage joint production of drones between Canadian companies and Ukraine’s defence industry. This push follows a meeting in Calgary last month between Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, where the two leaders signed a joint declaration on defence production.
In addition to the partnership with Tencore, Dominion Dynamics is independently developing its own autonomous collaborative platform. This system involves drones guided by humans that fly alongside fighter jets, such as F-35s or Gripen fighters.
