Nordic Unmanned (NUMND) accepts first delivery of CAMCOPTER S-100 systems

Sandnes, 28 January 2021 - Nordic Unmanned has accepted delivery of its first

CAMCOPTER S-100 systems. The delivery was done after successful acceptance

flight in Denmark. A new order for another CAMCOPTER S-100 system has been

placed and this second system will be delivered in Q2 2021.

This acquisition comes after successful sulphur sniffer operations in Denmark

and France with the use of CAMCOPTER S-100. The CAMCOPTER S-100 was also

recently operated in the world's first full-scale offshore drone delivery to an

active oil and gas platform, Troll A in Norway. These operations in 2020 were

carried out by Nordic Unmanned with Schiebel Aircraft AG as a wet lease

sub-contractor.

Nordic Unmanned are under contract with European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA)

to fulfil Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) services. The CAMCOPTER S-100

measures ships' sulphur emissions to check compliance with EU rules governing

the sulphur content of marine fuels. Measurements of SOx and NOx are transmitted

in real time.

The CAMCOPTER S-100 operates day and night and can carry multiple payloads with

a combined weight of up to 50 kg. Due to its minimal footprint and size, it is

ideally suited for maritime operations.

Knut Roar Wiig, CEO at Nordic Unmanned, said: "It's with great satisfaction,

that we have successfully taken delivery of our first Schiebel CAMCOPTER S-100

system. This is according to our communicated investment plan and we plan to put

this first system into operations in February 2021 under our current contract

and look forward to the next system delivery."

Lars A Landsnes, COO at Nordic Unmanned, said: "Increasing our extensive fleet

of unmanned systems with the safe and reliable CAMCOPTER S-100 system further

builds our complex operational offering of unmanned systems."

The investment in CAMCOPTER S-100 includes full lifetime support, spare parts

and training. Expected financial lifetime of the CAMCOPTER S-100 is 10 years.

The investment is financed with a combination of equity and bank loan. Nordic

Unmanned have chosen Norwegian prime ministers in the naming of its new fleet of

CAMCOPTER S-100 drones, and the two new drones have been named "ERNA" and

"JENS".
