Notable systems

Black Hornet (Teledyne FLIR, domestic nano-UAS)

Norwegian Armed Forces operate the Black Hornet nano-UAS (Norwegian-developed by Prox Dynamics, now Teledyne FLIR) plus small tactical UAS. A ~€86M tactical maritime VTOL UAS framework (Camcopter S-100 / Skeldar V-200 candidates) has been pending since 2022 — active procurement (the 26 tracked tenders) outpaces what is yet fielded. No consolidated national drone fleet count is published. Active drone procurement tracked in WULFRN's tender database (26 drone tenders).
