Patria UAS integration - From drones to force multipliers

Operators stay in the loop for critical decisions, but the burden of constant piloting is lifted. The system handles the routine. The human handles the mission.

With autonomy enhancements already in development, Patria’s roadmap ensures UAS become more capable, more independent, and more tightly aligned with mission success. 

From platform to fire support asset 

A drone alone can extend your view. But to turn that view into action, you need integration. Standalone UAS operating on a single link are limited –  too slow, too disconnected, too vulnerable. In indirect fire support, that gap can mean missed targets, delayed response, or unnecessary exposure.

Patria UAS Integration: Because force multiplication doesn’t happen in isolation.

Patria’s mission planning and optimization system connects UAS directly to indirect fire support networks, transforming airborne intelligence into actionable targeting:

• Real-time strike intelligence from above
• Rapid response without delay
• Reduced risk for frontline personnel

This is where drones stop flying solo and start shaping outcomes. 

Patria ONE and Patria SKY - From intel to impact

A drone serves simply as a platform, but its true value emerges when paired with an appropriate mission. By selecting suitable requirements and equipping it with the ideal payload, a drone can determine whether a target is reached or missed. It can offer tactical advantages without becoming a liability, and improve safety while reducing risk.

Patria starts where it matters: by helping you define what you actually need. Then – and only then – we match the mission with the right system, fitted with the payload that delivers real effect.

Mission-defined platforms

Modern armed forces operate in a wide range of challenging environments, including deserts, dense forests, arctic regions, and urban areas. Mission requirements vary significantly across these landscapes, making it apparent that drones with fixed payloads are insufficient for all scenarios.

Drones serve as platforms whose value is determined by specific mission objectives. When operational needs are thoroughly assessed, drones can be transformed into adaptable assets suited to diverse mission profiles, ensuring their functionality is tailored to the demands of each situation.

At Patria, we’ve built our drone systems with this reality in mind. As a trusted provider to the Finnish Defence Forces – who operate in some of the world’s harshest conditions – we know what adaptability really means. Our systems are developed to match mission to platform, and to work in tandem: one drone gathers intelligence while another delivers the effect.

Patria SKY – Your tactical advantage, overhead

On today’s battlefield, the one who sees first moves first. Patria SKY delivers that advantage – extended reach, flexible payloads, and zero risk to personnel. 

Built for modularity and field performance, Patria SKY is a compact ISR platform that adapts to mission needs and environmental extremes.

Built-in battlefield advantage:

• Modular payloads – Compatible with any market available or custom sensors, swappable mid-mission for maximum flexibility.
• Extended reach – Controlled range up to 15 km, flight capability up to 40 km
• All-terrain resilience – Operates in harsh environments from -20 °C to +45 °C
• Tactical portability – Fully stowable in a tactical backpack
• Multiple link options – Transmits via radio or stealthy, jam-resistant fibre optic tether

Wherever intelligence is needed  – for indirect fire support, ISR, or beyond – Patria SKY puts eyes on target: quietly, precisely, and without compromise.

Patria ONE – Where intelligence becomes action

Awareness alone doesn’t win battles – action does. While ISR platforms like Patria SKY provide intelligence, true force multiplication comes when that intelligence is paired with precision effects. 

That is the role of Patria ONE: a mission-driven drone platform built to deliver decisive impact – with speed, accuracy, and safety.

Patria ONE is designed to neutralize targets either through direct strike (direct effects of kamikaze configuration) or payload delivery – all within a system engineered for modularity, safety, and tactical agility.

Built for precision – designed for control:

• Modular payloads – Compatible with market or custom charges, swappable mid-mission for operational flexibility
• Advanced safety features – Mechanical pin, autopilot delay for system safety verification, operator-controlled kill switch, and inert training payload option for safe drills
• Scalable design – Adjustable arms and blade lengths to tailor speed, range, and payload capacity
• Extended reach – Controlled range up to 15 km, flight capability up to 40 km
• All-terrain resilience – Built for extreme environments (-20 °C to +45 °C)
• Tactical portability – Fully stowable in a tactical backpack for rapid deployment
• Multiple link options – Transmits via radio or stealthy, jam-resistant fibre optic tether

Backed by four years of development, Patria ONE meets Western safety standards while delivering mission-critical effects  – exactly where and when they’re needed.

Built to work together. Designed to do more.

Patria SKY and ONE are distinct in function but unified in purpose – and control. Both platforms operate with the same remote-control system, simplifying training, logistics, and field deployment.

If one unit is lost or damaged, the mission goes on – seamlessly. The control unit is also built for real-world conditions, with a design that remains fully operable in extremely cold environments.

Used together, Patria SKY and Patria ONE offer more than intelligence and effect – they deliver a true force multiplier. Eyes in the sky. Impact on demand. All in one integrated system.
