Metrosert, an Estonian testing and certification company, is establishing a unique drone laboratory in Estonia with government investment to boost the drone industry, hydrogen, and autonomous vehicle technologies. The laboratory will feature indoor and outdoor testing areas capable of simulating extreme conditions such as climate chambers, vibration, corrosion tests, and acoustic measurements. It will develop alternative navigation solutions for communication and navigation disruption, including landmark-based positioning, machine learning, secure communication protocols, and drone swarm control. Additionally, a chip center will focus on developing specific, secure, and optimized chips for manufacturers, including hardware security analysis, functional verification, and prototyping. The first laboratory equipment shipments are anticipated within months, with testing to begin by the end of 2025. Key individuals involved include Indrek Tulp, Head of the Applied Research Center, and Rainer Kivimäe, Head of Drone Technologies at Metrosert.
