Is Sweden leading the charge in wildfire preparedness across Europe? Sweden plays a key role in the European Union's wildfire response efforts as part of the rescEU program, providing four Air Tractor, Inc. AT-802F FireBoss aircraft to help combat forest fires. These aircraft, managed by Sweden’s MSB (Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency) in partnership with a flight operator, are on standby 24/7 during the European summer wildfire season and have been deployed on six international operations since 2020. As the EU continues to build a unified response to wildfires, these aircraft are available for deployments outside of Sweden, contributing to a more robust European preparedness. Two aircraft are committed to the fleet until 2025, while two others are serving throughout 2024. How do you think this collaboration will influence the EU’s long-term wildfire response strategy?

Why do we need precise movement tracking? In 1992 KONGSBERG launched its first inertial navigation product. Currently, the inertial navigation product range includes a variety of products and systems that integrate new hardware and advanced navigation algorithms to achieve precise hydrographic surveying. Vidar Bjørkedal is the Vice President of Sales at Kongsberg Discovery and has been working with inertial products for three decades.   “Our inertial product has set the benchmark for excellence in hydrographic surveys across the entire ocean. By uniting data from an array of critical sources, integrating our market-leading inertial navigation technology, and then enhancing both the hardware - boosting processing power and upgrading interfaces - and refining our algorithms we’ve taken a new evolutionary step in this demanding technology niche,” he says.   For hydrographic surveying where precise heading, position, velocity, roll, pitch, heave, and timing are essential, this technology is indispensable. By leveraging the operational and technological expertise that KONGSBERG has developed over the past 30 years, we are well-positioned to consistently meet customer demands and address challenges with this advanced solution. #HydrographicSurveying #InertialNavigation #KongsbergDiscovery #Innovation #Technology
