VARDE

VARDE

VARDE is built in the Nordics
to protect forces anywhere in the world

The sky has changed. Drones are cheap, numerous and relentless, and defending against them with missiles built for aircraft is a battle no budget can win.

VARDE is SCATA’s answer: a mobile, networked air-defence node built on our proven armoured vehicles. It detects, decides and engages across a layered set of effectors, starting with the cheapest option that will do the job.

Deploy several VARDE nodes together and they form one shared shield over troops, convoys and critical sites. Every node sees what the others see, any node can engage, and the network keeps fighting if one is lost.

Cheap threats deserve a smarter answer.
