pvLABS IaaS
Innovation as a Service
Advancing Capability Through Discovery
​
Innovation as a Service at PVLabs is a collaborative discovery model for advancing optronic, stabilization, and mechatronic technologies—independent of today’s systems or form factors.
We partner with Science & Technology organizations, research labs, skunkworks teams, and advanced customer programs to explore new concepts early, validate them against real-world dynamics, and mature what matters most.
When aligned with Industrial and Technological Benefit (ITB) obligations, IaaS is structured to transition cleanly into execution—ensuring that successful outcomes can be absorbed into programs, platforms, and industrial frameworks
Shared Development
De-Risking Advanced Capability
​
-
IaaS allows customers to engage advanced technology and engineering capacity without the cost, schedule, and integration risk of traditional development programs.
-
Pay for capability, not just hardware — outcomes aligned to mission need, not line items
-
Continuous evolution — sensors, software, and performance mature with operational demand
-
Rapid co-development — fast prototyping, test, feedback, and iteration
-
Lifecycle continuity — integration, sustainment, and upgrades designed in from the start
-
Sovereign-ready — Canadian-owned IP, export-compliant architectures, and ethical alignment
-
Flexible engagement models — scoped programs, phased development, or subscription-based access
-
The result is faster fielding, lower total risk, and capability that remains relevant.
​
Programs are structured with clear technical milestones, decision gates, and transition paths—ensuring discovery translates into credible, usable outcomes
How We Work
Three Paths.
One Engineering Standard.
​
We Build It: PVLABS will deliver complete, turnkey ISR capability—designed, integrated, and ready to deploy.
You Build It: Customers integrate PVLABS class-defining stabilization IP, toolkits, or subsystems into their own architectures—enabling in-country development and sovereign supply control.
We Build It Together: Joint R&D and co-development of emerging optronics and stabilization capabilities, with co-managed technical risk, aligned roadmaps, and long-term platform evolution.
PVLABS' IaaS model is not a one-off engagement either. It is a structured partnership model for building capability that lasts.
Capability Force Multiplier
Engineering Collaboration Beyond Today’s Systems
​
IaaS functions as a capability force-multiplier by accelerating discovery and reducing technical dead ends before requirements harden. Partners gain faster insight, earlier validation, and lower integration risk. PVLabs gains architectural learning and reusable capability that informs future work—without forcing premature productization.
​
This model allows customers to engage deep technical expertise before form factor, packaging, or platform constraints are fixed, accelerating meaningful innovation at the physics, control, and system-integration level.
​​
Advanced Co-Development
Breakthroughs stall when optics, controls, and mechanics are treated in isolation.
IaaS brings these disciplines together—early—where architectural choices still matter.
​
We collaborate on emerging sensing concepts, stabilization approaches, control strategies, and novel configurations, informed by real motion, vibration, thermal, and integration constraints.
Discovery happens where it’s hardest—and most valuable
From Exploration to Validation
IaaS bridges theory to reality.
Through modeling, rapid prototyping, and hardware-in-the-loop experimentation, concepts are stress-tested against operational dynamics long before packaging decisions lock in cost and risk.
​
Some efforts transition forward.
Others inform future architectures.
All outcomes advance capability.
Mutual Advantage
IaaS is intentionally structured to create shared technical upside.
​
Partners gain accelerated R&D progress, reduced technical risk, and access to hard-won expertise in stabilization and multi-domain sensing.
PVLabs gains architectural insight, domain learning, and reusable capability that informs future programs — whether commercial, defense, or civil.
​
This alignment is why IaaS is selective by design and focused on organizations pursuing real technical advancement, not short-term customization.
What This Enables​
​
Through discovery-first collaboration, IaaS enables the creation of future capability beyond today’s system boundaries, shaped with exportability and allied interoperability in mind.
New sensing & optronics, stabilization, and control-systems approaches are explored early, validated against real operational dynamics, and positioned to transition when and where they matter most—without being constrained by legacy platforms or predetermined solutions.
​
In practice, this capability force multiplier becomes a program advantage—reducing risk, accelerating delivery, and increasing the reuse of ITB investments.
