Rapid development for defence and dual-use
SADEFENCE combines civilian development speed, embedded systems, sensor networks, secure cloud development, user interfaces and rapid prototyping for demanding operational environments where reliability and security are not negotiable.
Credibility
What we can actually point to.
Real projects, partners and registrations. Built and tested. Not just promised.
NCAGE registered
An international identifier for organisations operating as part of global supply chains, and a practical prerequisite in defence procurement.
NCAGE registration news →Digital Defence Ecosystem member
Membership followed collaboration in the VTT Dual Use Discovery Programme and the Darkstar Defence Tech Hackathon, where partnerships with ecosystem members such as Millog began.
Joining the ecosystem →NATO Innovation Range 2026
SADE-developed technology was tested during the NIR 2026 series in Finland, in the Turku Coastline setup alongside Sensoan, KNL Networks, Millog and Turku UAS.

Participation in these programmes does not imply that SADE solutions carry military or NATO certification. Suitability for a specific programme is always assessed against that programme's own requirements.
Solution areas
Where our civilian engineering transfers.
The same disciplines behind connected industrial products, applied to operational requirements.
NATO Innovation Range 2026
One operational view, assembled from the field.
In the Turku Coastline setup, Sensoan's DECT NR+ sensors deployed on an island monitored their surroundings and transmitted data to a SADE-developed Edge Node Gateway installed onboard Turku UAS's autonomous vessel eM/S Salama.
The SADE Edge Node Gateway processed and packaged the data before transmitting it via KNL Networks' long-range radio link to Millog's TAK situational awareness system. Data from tests conducted across different parts of Finland could then be monitored in real time through a single operational view.
The Finnish Ministry of Defence acted as the national authority responsible for the event, with practical arrangements coordinated by the Digital Defence Ecosystem and DEFINE innovation ecosystems.
