Nordic Unmanned has signed an initial collaboration agreement with BNSF Railway,

one of the biggest railway companies in the United States. The client will test

the Staaker Railway Drone for infrastructure inspection and general data

acquisition.

"We are very excited about this opportunity to develop such a unique system

together with a leading railway operator, BNSF Railway. This is a breakthrough

agreement for Nordic Unmanned and the case will help us further increase our

presence in the railway industry", details Cecilie Drange, Chief Revenue Officer

in Nordic Unmanned ASA

One of the main tasks of the project will be to merge the current railway

technology with the Railway Drone. The current system for data acquisition in

the railway industry are heavy and require a lot of resources to implement

efficiently, hence implementing the Railway Drone will represent an innovative

way of collecting data. The drone is a flexible data acquisition platform, and

one of the aims of the first-phase contract with BNSF Railway is to further

develop the solution and its use cases.

"This contract is a breakthrough for the Staaker Railway drone and for Nordic

Unmanned, as it is the first rail customer in the United States. The disruptive

nature of the Staaker Railway drone allows clients access to new and improved

data regularly. We see a lot of opportunities in the future for this platform,

and we are proud to be working with an innovative and forward-thinking

corporation such as BNSF Railway" Ms. Drange adds.
