| Tests of the Ghost UAS single-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) |
The 700X Naval Aviation Squadron of the Royal Navy (NAS), together with the Commando Logistics Regiment (CLR), is testing Ghost UAS single-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in Norway. The purpose of these tests is to evaluate the drones' capabilities to scout routes, identify vulnerabilities, and raise operational awareness in difficult Arctic conditions.
The Commando Logistics Regiment, which provides essential support to advanced commando units, is testing how the Ghost UAV can enhance the effectiveness of troops in extreme natural conditions. As part of the tests, drones provide real-time intelligence, helping military personnel better navigate difficult terrain, as well as identify potential threats.
The Ghost UAS is a compact and maneuverable drone, ideal for use in mountainous and frozen terrain where classic systems may encounter technical limitations. These drones are capable of operating in harsh weather conditions, which makes them especially valuable for operations in the Arctic, where temperatures can reach critically low values, and the terrain creates additional difficulties for the movement of troops.
One of the key tasks of the Ghost UAV is to provide intelligence information in real time. Drones allow commanders to make more informed decisions based on up-to-date information about the terrain, the enemy's location, or potential dangers. This is especially important for units that operate in remote areas where communication with the main headquarters may be difficult.
The use of drones also reduces the risk to the lives of military personnel, as they can perform reconnaissance missions without having to send people to potentially dangerous areas. For example, drones can explore suspected troop movement routes, detect minefields or other obstacles, and track enemy movement.
The tests in Norway demonstrate the readiness of the Royal Navy and the Commando Logistics Regiment to adapt to new technological capabilities and conditions of modern conflicts. The Arctic is becoming an increasingly strategically important region, and the availability of reliable intelligence assets in such conditions is becoming critical to ensure security.
According to representatives of the 700X squadron, the test results already show the high efficiency of Ghost UAS drones. Their ability to quickly adapt to changing conditions and provide accurate data makes them an important tool to support operations in any climate zone.
