Kumppanuusmalli - Unmanned Surface Vessels for Automated Critical Infrastructure Protection

The USVA project (Uncrewed Surface Vessels for Automated Critical Infrastructure Protection) develops maritime surveillance capabilities for private infrastructure owners using unmanned surface vessels (USVs). The USVA project will support the creation of a common situational understanding between authorities and critical infrastructure owners, thus facilitating the response if any abnormal activities or risks are detected. The conditions in Finland and the Baltic Sea require vessels to be able to operate in a dispersed archipelago in challenging weather conditions under GPS and communication jamming.
