SPARC AI Inc. (CSE: SPAI; OTCQB: SPAIF; Frankfurt: 5OV0) announced on October 13, 2026 that it is sponsoring the Ukrainian Defense Tech Pavilion Reception at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) 2026 Annual Meeting & Exposition in Washington, D.C. The Vancouver-based defence technology company is using the appearance to highlight its Overwatch Positioning Network, a GPS-denied positioning solution for uncrewed systems. The sponsorship gives SPARC AI direct access to U.S. Army program offices, allied partners, and drone manufacturers at North America's largest land-power exposition, a significant opportunity for a company targeting defence procurement channels.

SPARC AI's Overwatch Network Takes Centre Stage at AUSA 2026

SPARC AI's U.S. leadership team is attending the AUSA exposition to engage with industry stakeholders at the Ukrainian Defense Tech Pavilion. The company's flagship product, Overwatch, is described in the release as a platform that ingests telemetry from drones and other systems and returns absolute latitude and longitude without onboard software, edge hardware, or reliance on GPS. The disclosure notes that GNSS jamming and spoofing are now routine on the modern battlefield, and uncrewed systems that depend on satellite positioning lose both navigational ability and target geolocation capability when satellite signals are compromised.

Real-World Ukraine Deployment Underpins AUSA Positioning

A key element of SPARC AI's message at AUSA is its real-world operational record. According to the release, Overwatch has been successfully deployed and tested in Ukraine in a completely denied environment close to the front line, returning positions accurate to within one metre. The company states that sponsoring the Ukrainian Defense Tech Pavilion provides an opportunity to share these deployment experiences directly with Army program offices, allied partners, drone manufacturers, and integrators — audiences that could be material to the company's commercial development.

U.S. CEO to Present at Private Pavilion Reception for 200 Guests
