The Norwegian Board of Technology has issued a report to the Norwegian Government ("Stortinget") with a recommendation that Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are an important enabling technology that should be further developed and used in the Arctic region. Important responsibilities of the UAVs include search and rescue, ice surveillance and environmental monitoring.

AMOS key person Prof. Tor Arne Johansen was one of four members of the expert group, and arctic applications of UAVs are part of AMOS' research agenda.
