Finnish firm launching three-man drone factories for rapid, remote production


HELSINKI, Finland A Finnish defense firm is preparing to launch a turn-key interceptor drone factory the size of a cargo crate that can be set up practically anywhere.

The Tactical Drone Factory, produced by Sensofusion, is an entire drone production line packed into one container. Each is outfitted with a suite of 3D printers, raw materials, and mechanical parts required for three personnel to produce 50 drones per day. The company is pitching the product as totally “turn-key” in nature, requiring clients to supply only minimal manpower.

“We promise that if they supply people who are able to put together IKEA furniture, they can put [the drones] together,” Sensofusion founder Tuomas Rasila told the Washington Examiner at the company’s office near Helsinki.
