Rheinmetall has conducted a series of intensive trials in Finland to enhance its counter-drone technologies, focusing on real-world operational environments characterized by challenging weather and terrain. The live exercises involved detecting, tracking, and neutralizing multiple small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) using a combination of radar, electronic warfare, and kinetic interception methods. These trials are a significant step in Rheinmetall’s commitment to developing scalable and flexible solutions to address the growing threat posed by hostile drone swarms in both military and critical infrastructure protection scenarios.

Key highlights of the Finnish trials include:

  • Multi-sensor integration: Seamless integration of radar and optical sensors boosted detection accuracy and reduced false positives.
  • Electronic countermeasures: Advanced jamming capabilities disrupted drone command and control…
