Since 2019 the Department of National Defence (DND) has wanted to explore developing drone technology and how it can foster those developments to best support the Canadian military. Since then, Parléview has supported through 3 Sandboxes (2019, 2022 and 2024), which provide Innovators with an opportunity to test and demo their prototypes with military and science experts present to provide development feedback.

Parléview has developed a world renowned program that grows each year. All onsite infrastructure, operations, guest management and experience are part of Parléview's provisions. We ensure that over the 4 weeks of onsite execution, guest are welcomed, hosted and fed the best options. The onsite testing facilities are customized to each company by Parléview and we ensure that they have the best possible environment for their system to show off! This allows for a wide range of solutions to be demonstrated and Canada becoming only the 5th country in the world to test above-the-horizon lasers, coordinating with various offices and agencies including the international space station!
