Airbus to Support Finland’s Situational Awareness, Cyber Security Systems

Airbus will support Finnish Defence Force’s situational awareness and cyber security systems under a new contract signed Tuesday.

“Airbus Defence and Space Finland and the Finnish Defence Forces Logistics Command have signed a partnership agreement for lifecycle maintenance and training services to support the Finnish Defence Forces’ situational awareness and cyber security systems,” the company said in a release.

The new agreement is part of Finland’s overarching framework for crisis preparedness and support of critical systems that was initiated back in 2010.

The contract enables a closer collaboration between the Finnish Defence Forces and Airbus Defence and Space in the field of maintenance and development of Finland’s national defence systems.
