Research and product development – state-of-the-art expertise and close cooperation

An international project from the European Defence Fund that is related to autonomy and swarming. The main goal is to create a new type of functional concept for the control of autonomous, unmanned swarm systems, such as drone swarms, on land, at sea, and in the air. Insta brings its special expertise in command and control systems, swarming, and autonomy to the project. In the project, Insta researches and develops concepts that allow for maximizing the performance of autonomous swarms in order to achieve the best possible situational awareness, for example.  

The project develops next generation interoperable unmanned ground systems. The project was started by the European Commission’s European Defence Fund (EDF). Insta was a project consortium member also in the first iMUGS project. The aim is to strengthen Europe’s autonomy and robotics capabilities by developing scalable, interoperable and secure system architecture for both unmanned and manned platforms. Insta brings its special competence in swarm intelligence and autonomous behavior to the project.

This joint-European project aimed at developing innovative technologies required for future air warfare that ensure the success of pilots in demanding air warfare environments. Insta participated by looking at solutions that monitor the pilot’s performance and state of health, such as active noise cancelling and next-generation respiration sensors. For example, Insta created algorithms and systems for the continuous monitoring of the pilot’s breathing and related physiological states. Funded by the EU & European Defence Fund 2023–2025.
