Background

Dominion Dynamics was founded by Eliot Pence, a former Anduril Industries executive, and is headquartered in Canada.

The company targets Arctic surveillance and future air-combat roles, positioning itself as a potential Canadian defense prime rather than a pure subcontractor.

Its core product is AuraNet, a sensor-network software layer designed to move high-definition video, photos, and audio through remote or contested environments using rugged distributed sensors.

Alongside AuraNet, Dominion is developing a persistent Arctic sensing network and an Autonomous Collaborative Platform (ACP) — including a sovereign autonomous wingman concept intended for future air-combat use.

Dominion goes to market primarily through engagement with the Canadian military and allied forces, conducting extreme-environment testing at the Arctic Training Centre in Whitehorse, Yukon.

Headcount has been reported at below 10 at founding, approximately 15 at one press snapshot, with plans to reach roughly 40 by end of Q1 2026 and an stated ambition to hire 100 staff through 2026.
