San Francisco, CA & Tampere, Finland – 17.2.2025. Kinetica, the real-time analytics database for real time geospatial and temporal analytics, and Unikie, a leader in edge computing and AI-driven autonomous solutions, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver cutting-edge air domain analytics for defence.
The collaboration between Kinetica and Unikie will leverage Kinetica’s GPU-accelerated database technology and Unikie’s advanced sensor fusion and AI capabilities to provide real-time situational awareness and decision-making tools for defence organizations operating in complex airspace environments.
“With the increasing sophistication of airborne threats and the need for instant data processing, real-time air domain analytics are mission-critical for modern defense operations,” said Nima Negahban, CEO of Kinetica. “By combining our high-performance database capabilities with Unikie’s AI-driven sensor fusion, we are enabling defense forces to process, analyze, and act on vast amounts of airspace data in real time.”
Unikie’s expertise in AI-driven perception and connectivity solutions enhances Kinetica’s ability to ingest and process data from radar, satellite imagery, and unmanned aerial systems (UAS). This integrated approach provides defense organizations with an unparalleled ability to track, predict, and respond to aerial threats with precision and speed.
“We are excited to partner with Kinetica to push the boundaries of real-time analytics for air defence,” said Jari Mielonen, Vice President, Unikie Defence and Security Business. “Our combined technologies will empower defence operators with AI-powered insights, helping them maintain air superiority and make split-second decisions in high-stakes scenarios.”
The Kinetica-Unikie solution will support a range of defence use cases, including:
- Real-time threat detection & classification: Leveraging AI to classify and assess aerial objects instantly.
- Multi-sensor data fusion: Integrating and analyzing data from multiple sources for a complete airspace picture.
- Predictive analytics & anomaly detection: Identifying potential threats before they emerge.
- High-performance geospatial visualization: Delivering actionable insights through interactive visualizations.
Both companies are committed to ensuring the highest levels of security and scalability, with deployment options available for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments.
