Alberta is highly regarded for its capabilities in the aerospace and defence industry, and Alberta companies offer a wide range of aerospace goods and services. Major areas of opportunity include robotics and unmanned vehicle systems (UVS); defence electronics; space sciences and aerospace geomatics; manufacturing, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MMRO); and, logistic support to the military.

The players in Alberta's aerospace sector are competitive nationally and in the world market. With increasing globalization, Alberta's value as an aerospace and defence industry hub will continue to grow.
