Nordic Unmanned has started operations in Finland for a client, where the operational team has today achieved Full Operational Capability (FOC) for the Textron Aerosonde system. With this deployment, and following the three ongoing CAMCOPTER operations, Nordic Unmanned currently has four simultaneous operations for the first time in the history of the company, all in accordance with the communicated utilization plan.

Reference is also made to previous announcements regarding the Textron Aerosonde system and the EMSA OP46 contract.

With this deployment Nordic Unmanned has commercially entered the long-range fixed wing market segment, whilst becoming the first operator in Europe conducting four parallel tactical drone operations, all running under the Light UAS Operator Certificate (LUC). With full fleet utilization this year, Nordic Unmanned expect to have five parallel operations during its busiest period in Q3 2022.

CEO, Knut Roar Wiig said: “We are very proud to achieve full operational capability on the Textron Aerosonde in a very short time. This comes as a result of safe and efficient training, teamwork and cooperation with Textron Systems. Strategically this is opening an entirely new market segment for Nordic Unmanned as we see an increased demand for fixed-wing general surveillance capabilities, and we are one of very few operators globally that offer these services.”

The system flying in Finland is the LN-0310-UA (GRO) and LN-0310-UB (JAN) and will carry out long-range general maritime, cross-border surveillance in the Baltic region.

The CAMCOPTER operations located in Germany and France are emission monitoring campaigns, where the main tasks of our CAMCOPTER systems are to measure ships' sulphur emissions, to verify compliance with EU rules and to conduct general maritime surveillance. The third operation, for a client in Norway, the CAMCOPTER performs multipoint cargo deliveries and maturing of autonomous landing capabilities.
