The company's main office is located in Vantaa, Finland.[13][5][1] The company also has operations in Ukraine and an office in Canada.[14] The CEO and founder of the company is Tuomas Rasila.[2][15][1] In the summer of 2025, it was reported that Mikko Hyppönen had joined the company as Chief Research Officer.[11][16][17]

The company's main products include passive drone and drone operator detection systems designed for government and defense use with a range of up to 10 kilometers (Airfence), as well as high-power drone jammers and interceptor drones (Interceptor).[3][18] The Airfence detection system can be supplemented with several additional layers, such as antenna systems that extend unmanned aerial vehicle detection range (KELA), to which a radar system can also be connected. Additional capabilities include satellite-based SAR radar reconnaissance detection, and an optical detection system with night vision capability planned for release in 2026.[18][19]

The company has grown rapidly during the Russian invasion of Ukraine (2022–).[20] In 2021, the company's revenue was approximately 1.7 million euros and it employed 12 people. Revenue in 2023 was 7.2 million and in 2024 already 20.8 million euros.[3] By 2025, the company employed nearly one hundred people.[10] In autumn 2025 the company was awarded the 2025 President of the Republic's Internationalization Award.[4][21]

The company raised 45 million euros in venture capital from investors in its second funding round. In connection with this, the company was valued at 550 million euros.[3] At the beginning of 2026, it was reported that the company was aiming for an initial public offering, possibly as early as 2026.[3][22]
