Einride partners with Centinus to add counter-UAS and threat detection to its autonomous defence logistics

On 5 August 2026, Einride expanded its defence offering through a partnership with Centinus, extending the Swedish company's AI-powered autonomous logistics platform with real-time threat detection and counter-UAS (counter-drone) monitoring systems.

The tie-up forms part of Einride's broader defence initiative, aimed at delivering resilient autonomous logistics capabilities for military and national-security customers. Einride estimates the addressable market for this dual-use offering across the United States, the European Union and other NATO countries at between US$7 billion and US$13 billion.

The move deepens Einride's push into defence following its April 2026 appointment of General (Ret.) Keith B. Alexander, former director of the U.S. National Security Agency and first commander of U.S. Cyber Command, to its board of directors to help scale a dedicated defence business.
