New Partnership to Counter Rising Aerial Threats Across Europe

Finnish technology company Insta and U.S.-based defense technology company CHAOS Industries have formed a partnership to integrate advanced distributed sensing and effects capabilities into an intelligent data-centric command-and-control system.

The collaboration marks the first agreement CHAOS Industries has signed with a European technology partner, enabling joint design and development in sensor integrations, advanced radar, detection, identification, and data transmission solutions. This initiative aims to address the ongoing threats of unmanned aerial systems by introducing a distributed sensor and shooter layer to Finland and Northern Europe.

As part of the integration, Insta will connect CHAOS’s VANQUISH PRIME radar and additional pipeline products with its own AirC2 product family to establish a common situational picture. Insta’s AirC2 platform features specialized solutions for the integrated command of air defense, covering both anti-aircraft and fighter defense. CHAOS brings extensive operational validation to the partnership, with its sensing solutions having logged more than 20,000 hours of tracking operations globally, including deployments in Europe and the Middle East for U.S. and allied and partner forces.

“What we’re seeing across Finland and Northern Europe is the operational reality − 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,” says John Tenet, co-founder and CEO of CHAOS Industries.

“The 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,” says Petri Reiman, CEO at Insta Advance.

“Drones are now part of everyday reality and the battlefield in Europe. Finland’s air defense is commanded through our systems − integrating CHAOS’s solutions into our own defense system could enable cost-effective and comprehensive drone detection and counter-drone capability in the future,” Reiman states.

By combining their respective expertise in counter-unmanned aerial systems, both companies will support the development of proven, cost-effective solutions for layered air defenses. The first joint technological solution developed by Insta and CHAOS Industries is scheduled to be demonstrated in Finland in the coming months.
