Chinese Counter-UAS Firm Aeroseek Partners with Finnish Drone Manufacturer to Develop Airborne Anti-Drone Platform

Aeroseek, a China-based counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS) technology company, has announced a strategic cooperation with Finnish multirotor drone manufacturer Nordic Aeronautics Oy, aiming to integrate advanced drone detection and jamming systems directly onto unmanned aerial platforms.

Under the partnership, Aeroseek will provide its latest RF-based drone detection, identification, and interference modules, while Nordic Aeronautics will contribute its high-end multirotor UAV platforms known for stability, payload capacity, and loairborne counter-drone,

A New Approach to Counter-Drone Operations

Traditionally, counter-drone systems have been deployed as fixed or vehicle-mounted ground installations. The Aeroseek–Nordic Aeronautics collaboration introduces a mobile aerial concept, enabling rapid deployment, flexible coverage, and improved line-of-sight performance in complex environments.

Key capabilities under development include:

• Real-time RF detection and classification of commercial and custom UAVs
• Directional signal jamming targeting control links and satellite navigation signals
• Lightweight, modular payload design optimized for multirotor integration
• Secure data link and autonomous mission coordination

Flight testing of the first integrated prototype is scheduled for the third quarter of 2026, with operational evaluation to follow.

Applications Across Security and Infrastructure Protection

The airborne counter-UAS platform is expected to support a wide range of use cases, including:

• Airport and airspace protection
• Critical infrastructure security (energy, transportation, ports)
• Border surveillance and coastal monitoring
• Temporary security for large public events

An Aeroseek spokesperson stated that combining counter-drone intelligence with an aerial platform significantly extends operational reach and responsiveness. “This cooperation allows counter-UAS capabilities to move from static defense to active, mobile protection,” the company noted.

Nordic Aeronautics emphasized that the partnership aligns with its vision of expanding UAV missions beyond observation into active airspace security roles, particularly in European and international markets.

Strengthening Cross-Border Technology Collaboration

Industry analysts view the collaboration as an example of cross-border innovation, combining China’s expertise in counter-drone electronics with Finland’s advanced UAV manufacturing and systems integration capabilities.

Both companies indicated that, subject to testing and regulatory approvals, the joint solution could enter limited production by late 2026, targeting government, law-enforcement, and infrastructure operators worldwide.
