Kiruna Innovation Week, hosted by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB), gave us a unique opportunity to work alongside civil defense and rescue personnel. Operating in a former school partly destroyed to mimic a wartime scenario, we validated our remote operations over cellular and Starlink while cooperating with rescue teams on CASEVAC and transport in hard terrain. Even though we had not designed with this terrain in mind Eira X handled it really well.
Kiruna offered cool and truly cool experiences. Working in freezing weather through the days before the demo, we were rewarded with amazing northern lights and scenery.
