EMSA gave Nordic Unmanned a conditional letter of award for fixed-wing RPAS (drone) services conducting long-range general maritime surveillance.
Nordic Unmanned will use Textron Systems’ AerosondeTM as their drone platform and two complete systems, including training, will be delivered during the next six months.
A mandatory initial configuration test must be successfully completed within eight weeks, before receiving the final framework award. The official signing of the contracts is expected to be before end of September
The first specific contracts of deployment in Europe are expected to be received and have a financial effect from Q1 2022, and the full utilization of the framework contract is expected to happen from Q3 2022.
The use of the framework contract is contingent of call-offs from the client during the lifetime of the contract.
