Andøya Space Center, Telenor and Robot Aviation have teamed up to develop and test an emergency response UAS, Andøya announced on 16 May.
The new system will be developed using Norwegian technologies to support emergency response operations in areas without coverage for mobile communication, VHF or maritime broadband radio.
The UAS will be fitted with telecommunications equipment as well as photo and video cameras, radar and other sensors in order to improve situational awareness and communications needs at the time of accidents or natural disasters.
The team will also assess whether the system is suitable for other purposes, such as inspection work after avalanches, animal counting and temporary communications coverage.
The project is planned to run through to mid-2019.
