According to the report, Patria will lead a European consortium in developing artificial intelligence (AI)-driven software through the AI-WASP (Warfare Adaptive Swarm Platform) project, designed for use on manned and unmanned systems.
The report stated that the initiative is set to run for nearly four years, during which the consortium will build two prototype versions that will be integrated into small and medium uncrewed aerial vehicles, ground vehicles, or fixed stations. The systems will combine secure communication, radio frequency sensing, and electronic warfare in a scalable payload, operating across various environments, including arctic conditions.
The report also stated that the AI-WASP program aims to strengthen Europe’s defense capabilities, focusing on intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance operations.
Patria stated that across all domains, their militaries need relevant situational awareness and communications systems that can perform ad hoc networking in dynamically evolving tactical situations, and the ability to conduct electronic protection and attack.
The report said that in total, 16 defense firms were involved in the project. The participating nations include Finland, Sweden, Estonia, Italy, and Greece. It also said that France, Germany, Spain, and Lithuania are also key partners.
The report added that the European Commission has allocated 45 million euros ($50 million) in funding for AI-WASP, and the participating countries will provide further national support, raising the total budget to 52 million euros ($57 million).
Additionally, European countries and their defense industries are strengthening collaboration to boost security, drive innovation, and scale production.
