Sweden and Finland deepen counter-drone defense

Finland's EUR50.2M counter-drone allocation, Swedish deployment planning, Nordic exercises, and the Linköping EUDIS GNSS-denied/autonomous-swarm hackathon point to stronger distributed sensing and interoperable C2. Quantum-navigation demonstrations, airport counter-UAS integration issues, and UTES 2026 in Gothenburg add practical signals, while independent system-performance data remain limited.
