Finnish Navy Tests Patria Multi-Domain Swarm of Sea and Air Drones Ahead of New Unmanned Company

The Finnish Navy demonstrated a Patria-developed swarm of unmanned surface vessels and aerial drones at Upinniemi on November 5 and announced plans to form an Unmanned Systems Company in the Coastal Brigade in early 2027. Patria’s mission management system linked a surface vessel fitted with its autonomy kit, a lightweight fixed-wing drone and a Patria ONE quadcopter in a common network. According to Patria, the swarm completed an assigned mission under remote control from two locations in Finland. The Patria ONE launched from the aft deck of a Finnish Jehu-class landing craft.
