The only authentic extreme environment in Europe for UAV and robotics certification. Validate your systems for the NATO Arctic Gap in deep snow, electromagnetic silence, and GNSS-denied conditions.
SARA - Strategic Autonomous Robotics & Aerospace is Europe's largest arctic test centre for drone and robotic innovation. Located in Eastern Lapland, Finland, SARA provides the one environment that cannot be simulated: the White Desert. Here, operators face authentic arctic conditions with electromagnetic silence, extreme cold, and unrestricted low-altitude airspace.
We operate as a Turnkey partner. While our primary theatre is the Eastern Lapland wilderness, we execute testing campaigns across Finland tailored to your specific needs. We handle the entire deployment lifecycle - from airspace permits and heavy logistics to housing, catering, and team entertainment. SARA also serves as a world-class demonstration facility: bring your end-users to the Arctic, and we will provide the infrastructure for you to train them on your systems.
