On November 25, PRIO hosted a seminar gathering some of the key stakeholders of the Norwegian drone landscape to discuss the state of the drone industry in Norway, the regulatory efforts to integrate drones in the airspace, and the security and safety issues that persist today. Over the last weeks, numerous incidents involving drones have made headlines in Norway. These incidents include multiple drone sightings outside oil platforms and energy installations, drone incursions in the vicinity of airports leading to the temporary closure of some of them, and Russian citizens being arrested at Norwegian border crossing sites and airports in possession of drones and drone-collected data on their way back to Russia. These incidents have brought the presence of drones in civilian airspace to the covers of newspapers in the country.SpeakersJacob Bjelland, State Secretary, Ministry of TransportMats Gjertsen AvinorAnders Martinsen, UAS NorwayEivind Raknes, Civil Aviation Authority NorwayChristian Brunsvig, Norwegian Defense Research Establishment (FFI)Introduction by Torunn Tryggestad, Deputy Director, Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO).The event was chaired by Bruno Oliveira Martins, Senior Researcher, Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO).For more information about this event, please visit: https://www.prio.org/events/8982  Hosted on Acast.
