Three Men Charged in Ontario for Explosives and Drone Defense Project

The three men from Ontario, Jerry Tong, Zekun Wang, and Fei (Frank) Han, have been accused of holding materials that could be turned into explosives while they were seeking funding for a military system aimed at stopping drone attacks.

The suspects made videos to promote their project, featuring a device that could fit in the back of a pickup truck. The latest video was uploaded on Oct. 25, 2025.

“We are building a mobile and low-cost system capable of detecting and defeating micro and mini uncrewed aerial systems,” Tong stated in one of the three videos titled MORSLAB Pitch Presentation.

<p He further elaborated that the team is "taking on the challenge of stopping weaponized drones armed with a hand grenade and small explosives."

Tong, Wang, and Fei, along with Feiyang (Astrid) Ji who isn’t seen in the videos, are facing charges related to a trespassing incident reported to police by Western University on Jan. 24, 2026.

After authorities arrested Tong and Wang, they spent several days searching a nearby residence where Wang, Fei, and Ji lived. Their investigation also extended to two other homes linked to Orleans and Gatineau, Que.

The group now faces various charges including possession of a loaded restricted firearm, firearms manufacturing, as well as possession of high explosives along with chemicals used for making them.

The videos verified by have been filmed at Western University’s Claudette Mac Kay-Lassonde Pavilion where Tong mentions that their drone defense system would be fully operational by August 2026.

We have our own chemical lab on site capable of synthesizing primary and secondary energetics- Jerry Tong

Tong mentioned that they’re looking for funding from “several different military research development programs,” responding to “the Canadian Armed Forces and NATO military demand.” He points out the growing use of drone warfare in Ukraine.

The pitch includes various renderings and animations illustrating how their weapons system works. It’s designed to detect drones using infrared sensors when mounted on the back of a modified pickup truck.

The accused claim their system can track down drones by disabling their onboard electronics using bursts of microwave radiation.

In one part of the pitch video, there’s footage showing someone mixing chemicals in a flask alongside clips capturing an intense chemical reaction.

“We have our own chemical lab on site capable of synthesizing primary and secondary energetics,” Tong noted.

Tong reveals he studied integrated engineering at Western University while launching a 3D printing business supported by Western Accelerator program which helps young entrepreneurs connect with mentors.

“Currently I work as a contractor investigating international fraud,” said Tong. A spokesperson from National Bank Financial confirmed his previous employment there.Zekun Wang accompanied by his lawyer Jun Kuang (top left), depicted in court sketch drawn on Feb. 4., 2026.

Han confirms his Master’s degree is also from Western specializing in mechanical materials engineering; he describes his role focused primarily “handling core electromagnetic analysis.”

He added he worked particularly on “[radio frequency] simulation for our horn slotted antennas.”
