AIRBORNE PREPAREDNESS FOR A SAFER NORTH
OUR PARTNERS
-Discover earlier. Decide faster. Respond better.
VISION
The threats of the future cannot be solved with yesterday's technology and capacity.
Climate change, increasing forest fire risk, more complex coastal traffic and stricter environmental requirements mean that Norway and the Nordic region face a growing need for fast, flexible and precise airborne preparedness. Today, there is no national capacity that can combine early detection, tactical response and real-time situational awareness across challenging forest fires and environmental disasters.
INNOVATION
NSAR develops BALDR:
A decision support system for airborne preparedness.
The system combines data from airborne sensors, maps and operational sources to provide real-time situational awareness, predictions and recommendations to mission leaders and crews.
The goal is to increase precision, safety and efficiency in demanding operations – initially in forest fires and oil spill response, with further application in search and rescue and environmental monitoring. BALDR is developed for air-ground interaction, and documents actions and effects through verifiable data and reports.
REAL-TIME INFORMATION
NSAR vil kombinere operativ flyberedskap med BALDR og et kompetansesenter. BALDR brukes i oppdrag for sanntids situasjonsforståelse og samhandling mellom luft og bakke, mens kompetansesenteret står for prosedyrer, trening, datainnsamling og dokumentasjon av effekt.
Slik utvikles og skaleres operasjonen kontinuerlig og blir gitt anbefalinger gjennom ai til hvor innsatsen burde fokuseres for best effekt.

MEASURABLE EFFECT
NSAR gives the Nordics faster response and higher extinguishing effect per krone. With BALDR (AI decision support) and dedicated emergency aircraft, the response time is reduced by and the turnaround time is reduced, while the extinguishing capacity delivered increases 3–4×. The result is fewer fires that escalate, lower overall resource use and documentable climate cuts. Based on conservative scenarios, this gives a potential annual reduction in fire emissions in the Nordics of 20–50,000 tons of CO₂, in addition to lower emissions per completed operation.
WHY NSAR
Effective approach, proven methods and new technology - in Norway
Norway and the Nordic region need a unified airborne emergency response capacity that can quickly handle multiple parallel forest fires and other acute incidents. Climate change and increasing risk are making the need ever greater.
NSAR is designed to fill this gap.
We combine modern aircraft, advanced data and real-time decision support to give authorities and response leaders faster overview, better prioritization and more effective response.
