With over 30 years of experience in developing critical software for defense and security, HiQ is now launching a comprehensive offering for next-generation defense capabilities. The initiative encompasses intelligent solutions where AI and software are integrated in everything from sensors and platforms to decision support, management systems and simulation.
As an approved NATO supplier and one of the Nordic countries' most experienced players in security-classified development, HiQ is now strengthening its position in defense and security.
The new offering covers the entire chain, from embedded systems and autonomous platforms to digital management and advanced simulation. The solution also includes data and integration platforms as well as secure software development for safety-critical environments.
– Software has become the backbone of modern defense capabilities. Now we are building intelligence into every layer of the systems. The challenge is not just about developing more solutions, but about creating environments where secure, traceable and verifiable software can be developed and deployed at the pace that the external situation requires, says Victor Nyberg, defense industry expert at HiQ.
At the same time, EU and NATO investments in defense, innovation, and artificial intelligence are driving new demands on how quickly the defense sector can translate software, data, and integration into actual operational capability. HiQ therefore sees a growing need for partners who can combine deep technical expertise and experience from safety-critical operations with the ability to take responsibility for the entire value chain.
It involves everything from sensors and platforms to management systems, simulation and decision support.
– With more than thirty years of experience from the Nordic and European defense industry, we have built a strong ability to connect hardware, software and operational delivery capabilities. The combination of deep technical expertise, experience of safety-critical environments and strong local presence in the Nordics and Europe is a clear strength for us and our customers, says Victor Nyberg.
HiQ has extensive experience working with leading players in the defense industry and is approved as a technology supplier to NATO and a member of the Finnish Digital Defense Ecosystem.
The company currently works with advanced simulation environments, AI-based systems, cybersecurity and safety-critical solutions for critical operations. The business also includes support for organizations that need to build structures, working methods and platforms for secure software development on a larger scale.
Through this new initiative, we want to HiQ meet the growing demand for digital defense capabilities and contribute to strengthening both Nordic and European security at a time when software, data and artificial intelligence are playing an increasingly important role in the defense sector.
