Nordic Unmanned signs initial collaboration agreement with BNSF Railway, a leading freight transportation company in North America

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.
