JOENSUU / LONDON (IT BOLTWISE) – A Finnish startup called Kelluu has caught the attention of NATO with its innovative hydrogen airships. These airships, developed in extreme Arctic conditions, offer a cost-effective solution to surveillance of border areas. With a contract for testing in a NATO member country, Kelluu is positioning itself as a pioneer in the European defense industry.

In the small Finnish town of Joensuu, not far from the Russian border, the startup Kelluu is developing a new generation of airships that are specifically designed to meet the challenges of modern surveillance operations. These hydrogen-filled airships can stay aloft for up to twelve hours and offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional surveillance methods such as drones or manned aircraft.
Kelluu’s airships are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions and electronic interference, making them particularly suitable for use in Arctic and conflict-affected regions. These characteristics have piqued the interest of NATO, which was the first company to include Kelluu in its new innovation program. A contract has already been concluded with a NATO member country to conduct national tests.
Compared to traditional surveillance platforms, Kelluu’s airships offer several advantages. Not only are they cheaper to manufacture and operate, but they can also be used more flexibly. Thanks to their small size and light weight, they can be transported to areas of use quickly and easily. They also enable continuous monitoring because they are equipped with cameras and sensors that can be controlled automatically.
The development of these airships is part of a larger trend in the defense industry towards cost-effective and technologically advanced solutions. While other countries such as Israel are also relying on airships, Kelluu stands out for its innovative use of hydrogen and adaptation to extreme conditions. The future of surveillance technology could therefore lie in the combination of traditional design and modern technology, as embodied by Kelluu.
