Nokia joins Finnish Border Guard-led consortium to deliver nationwide counter-drone connectivity and threat detection capabilities in Finland.
Nokia is participating in a Finnish-Nordic consortium led by the Finnish Border Guard to develop next-generation counter-drone capabilities for patrol vehicles and boats nationwide in Finland. The initiative aims to build a sovereign, integrated counter-unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and threat detection capability. Nokia Defense will provide an intelligent network solution enabling secure, high-performance connectivity, real-time data exchange, and interoperability across platforms, sensors, and command-and-control systems to enhance situational awareness and response coordination. This system supports border security, surveillance, territorial integrity, and protection of critical infrastructure. The deployment and evaluation of platforms, connectivity, and sensing capabilities are planned for 2027 and early 2028.
Confidence: High
The report describes a defensive initiative to improve border security through enhanced counter-drone technology, connectivity, and threat detection, without any indication of hostile or aggressive activity.
