Nokia Defense and NestAI Build AI-Enabled Defense Operations: Deployable 5G, ISAC Threat Detection, Mission Planning for Denied Environments

Nokia Defense and NestAI are advancing their technology partnership for AI-enabled defense operations with resilient connectivity in denied environments. The partnership delivers three integrated capabilities: 1) AI-enabled command-and-control on deployable 5G networks combining Nokia deployable 5G with NestOS adaptive operating system; 2) Mission planning with assured connectivity integrating Nokia radio-network planning models into NestOS mission-planning tools; 3) Earlier threat detection combining Nokia Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) with NestAI multi-sensor tracking. Built to NATO operational requirements using European-developed technologies. Established alongside Nokia and Tesi 100 million euro joint investment in NestAI in November 2025. Addresses denied communications, active electronic attack, and emerging drone threats.
