Nordic Unmanned has announced the opening of their North America office, to be led by aviation, defence, rail, and transit executive Timothy Tenne. The office will be located in Baltimore County, Maryland, close to strategic partners, potential governmental clients, commercial clients and aviation authorities.
The new office’s focus will be on offering Nordic Unmanned’s existing products and services portfolio in North America, as well as operational experience with performing long-range, complex beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations.
According to the company, North America is the largest drone market in the world, with the highest expected growth rate, within both the defence and enterprise markets. The 2023 US defence budget request consists of 20 programs dedicated to the procurement of drones, with a total combined value of US$2.6Bn. The enterprise market adds significant potential value to this, with its expected compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.8 per cent from 2021 to 2030.
