Founded April 2025. Vinnova-funded. Demonstrator-led. Operator-validated.
The modern battlefield is transparent. Drones, satellites, sensors, and electronic warfare have made previously safe zones for logistics and medical evacuation directly exposed. Lessons from Ukraine are unambiguous: civilian vehicles are widely used for forward logistics — they are cheap and available, but they lack protection, reliability, and resilience under contested conditions.
Meanwhile, existing military platforms are heavy, expensive, and easy to detect. In Nordic conditions — forest, snow, vast uninhabited areas — the gap is larger still. European primes need autonomy that works in the environments their forces actually fight in, not autonomy validated on test tracks in moderate climates.
Affordable, resilient autonomy — not just remote drive — is the gap. Eira Systems closes that gap by building the autonomy and mobility stack as software and subsystems that any European UGV manufacturer can integrate.
Eira Systems is built in close collaboration with the operators, units, and organizations who will ultimately depend on our systems. End-user involvement is embedded throughout our development process — from early concept work to field validation — ensuring that every capability we ship is shaped by real operational needs rather than assumptions.
We work continuously alongside professional end users to validate that our autonomy and mobility systems perform under the conditions they are designed for. This direct feedback loop is what allows us to deliver technology that is trusted, relevant, and ready for the environments it will operate in.
Our focus is on building software and subsystems that integrate cleanly into existing platforms and programs — making us a long-term partner to the operators and manufacturers we work with.
