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.
