Finland has selected American Sierra Nevada’s RAPCON-X jet as its new border surveillance and reconnaissance solution.
The American aerospace firm said it has received a $170-million contract to deliver two configured Bombardier Challenger 650 aircraft outfitted with its RAPCON-X technology.
The solution will enable the commercial jets to perform multi-domain intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), as well as long-range precision sensing and rapid target maneuvering.
The new ISR jets will be handed over to the Finnish Border Guard between 2026 and 2027.
Once delivered, the RAPCON-X is expected to carry out land and sea border patrols, search and rescue, and marine environmental damage detection.
