Operational experience and certifications:

Being at the very front of the unmanned industry, rules and regulations define what is possible. We push the industry and have a close cooperation with all relevant authorities to make our operations as safe and effective as possible.

Nordic Unmanned holds a LUC (Light UAS Operator Certificate), being the first company in Scandinavia to be certified. The certification covers the entire fleet of drones and makes Nordic Unmanned able to self-approve operations within the privileges granted, giving shorter lead time and approvals for cross-border operations. The certificate is applicable in all EASA countries (EU), but has also proven to have significant valuable outside EU as well due to it’s solid recognition of the operator. A LUC holder is required to hold a robust Safety Management System and are audited regularly by the aviation authorities.

Nordic Unmanned is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified for the Operation, maintenance, and sales of unmanned systems and sensor technology. In 2020, we became the first publicly listed European drone operator in Europe.
