SELF -APPROVING OPERATIONS IN ALL EU COUNTRIES

Milestone certificate

Received the European Light UAS Operator Certificate (LUC) issued by the Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority under the EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) EU 2019/947 rules and becomes the first European operator to receive this new certificate for several different models of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).

New unified European regulation

It replaces the previous regulation where each country had their own rules and procedures that were lacking uniformity from a European operator perspective. The UAS (drone) models includes among others Schiebel CAMCOPTER® S - 100 , Staaker BG -200, and Lockheed Martin Indago .

Most comprehensive LUC issued

The certificate allows Nordic Unmanned to deploy its entire fleet of eight different Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) models for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) flights in all EASA member countries by self -approving its operations and leveraging simplified declaration procedures across all European countries

In short

Nordic Unmanned is taking the leading role as drone operator for Pan European complex (Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations by achieving the Light Unmanned Operator Certificate.

The time from customer requirement to operations will reduce significantly.

The LUC is expected to achieve world -wide acknowledgment.

FIRST M&A ACITIVTY

LEADING GLOBAL MARITIME EMISSION MONITORING

• The joint venture with the Finnish company Aeromon will cement Nordic Unmanned's leadership position in the growing global maritime emission market.

  • The joint venture will globally support maritime authorities, port authorities, and oil and gas companies.
  • Europe is actively enforcing environmental regulations by using cutting-edge drone technology. Nordic Unmanned will take an active role in implementing global enforcement of these regulations.

The current market for Maritime Emission Monitoring is estimated to be NOK 160 million in 2021, increasing to NOK 700 million in 2025.

The effects of implementing MARPOL Annex VI in 2020 compared to 2025*

~8.5 to ~8.9 million metric tonnes reduction in sulphur emissions 2020-2024 annually

Delay in implementation of global sulphur limits from 2020 to 2025 would, according to the study, contribute to more than 570,000 additional premature deaths compared to the implementation from 2020
