Black hornets for Norway

Teledyne FLIR Defense has announced the signing of a framework agreement worth up to 475 million NOK (approximately 48 million USD) with the Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency for the delivery of advanced unmanned Black Hornet® Nano UAVs. The contract has a duration of four years, but can be extended for up to three additional years on a yearly basis.

Norway received its first Black Hornet in 2015, but this agreement represents the country's largest order to date. This makes Norway one of the largest users of Teledyne FLIR's Black Hornet Personal Reconnaissance System. The Black Hornet weighs only 33 grams and measures 168 millimeters. The pocket-sized drone is suitable for operations in highly contested and GPS-denied environments, is nearly silent, and has a flight time of up to 25 minutes. It transmits live videos in the visible and thermal imaging ranges to the operator. Teledyne FLIR Defense has delivered over 12,000 Black Hornets to defense and security forces worldwide.
