I’m looking forward to speaking at UNC 2026, a key Nordic industry event bringing together UAV operators, regulators, and technology developers. The conferene is 9-10 Febuary in Oslo, Norway.
Icing remains one of the most underestimated risks in UAV operations across the Nordics, often grounding missions far beyond Arctic regions. Even small amounts of ice can severely affect aerodynamics, sensors, and autonomy – making icing a major barrier to reliable year-round BVLOS operations.
In this session, I’ll discuss how new ice-detection and mitigation technologies can help overcome this barrier and enable safer, more robust UAV operations in cold climates. The focus will be on practical solutions that move icing from a hard operational stop toward a manageable risk.
