TAMPERE, FINLAND & LOS ANGELES, CA, USA., July 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Partnership brings distributed sensing and effects to Finland and Northern Europe to address ongoing threats of unmanned aerial systems<\/i><\/p>\n
Finnish technology company\u00a0Insta<\/a> and U.S.-based defence technology company CHAOS Industries<\/a> today announced a partnership enabling the integration of CHAOS\u2019s next-generation distributed sensing and effects capabilities into an intelligent data-centric command-and-control system developed by Insta. <\/p>\n CHAOS\u2019s sensing solutions have logged 20,000+ hours of tracking operations globally, including in Europe and the Middle East for U.S. and allied and partner forces. Insta will integrate the company\u2019s VANQUISH PRIME<\/a> radar and additional products under development with Insta\u2019s AirC2<\/a> to establish a common situational picture. Insta\u2019s AirC2 product family, for example, contains solutions for the integrated command of air defence in terms of both anti-aircraft and fighter defence.<\/p>\n This partnership is the first agreement CHAOS Industries has signed with a European technology partner and enables joint design and development in areas including sensor integrations as well as advanced radar, detection, identification and data transmission solutions.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat we\u2019re seeing across Finland and Northern Europe is the operational reality \u2212 drone incursions are exposing gaps that no single nation can close alone. This partnership is about bringing a distributed sensor and shooter layer to places that need it the most, before those gaps become consequences,\u201d says John Tenet, <\/b>co-founder and CEO of CHAOS Industries.<\/p>\n \u201cThe agreement lays the foundation for a new kind of product development and integration of advanced solutions. This new era in defence technology requires performance, a fast product development cycle, cost-efficiency and agility in responding to market changes,\u201d says Petri Reiman<\/b>, CEO at Insta Advance.<\/p>\n \u201cDrones are now part of everyday reality and the battlefield in Europe. Finland\u2019s air defence is commanded through our systems \u2212 integrating CHAOS\u2019s solutions into our own defence system could enable cost-effective and comprehensive drone detection and counter-drone capability in the future,\u201d Reiman states.<\/p>\n The collaboration brings together the two companies\u2019 expertise in counter-unmanned aerial systems, supporting the development of proven, yet cost-effective solutions to address the European region\u2019s need for layered air defenses. The first joint solution by Insta and CHAOS Industries will be demonstrated in Finland in the coming months.<\/p>\n About CHAOS Industries<\/b><\/p>\n CHAOS Industries is redefining modern defense with a multi-product portfolio that gives the ultimate advantage \u2212 domain dominance.
