Future drone operators take flight in Odense ✈️ Odense’s drone ecosystem continues to serve as a real-world testbed - now also supporting the growing role of drone technology in defence. Last month, drone conscripts from Forsvaret trained at Syddansk Universitet - University of Southern Denmark’s Drone Center at HCA Airport, working hands-on with building, testing and flying drones in collaboration with UAS Denmark Test Center and HCA Airport. “Drones are developing at a pace that makes hands-on testing and operational understanding absolutely essential […] At UAS Denmark Test Center and HCA Airport, we are proud to provide an environment where new drone capabilities can be developed, tested and understood in real-world conditions.” says Michael Larsen, Head of UAS Denmark Test Center. With strong collaboration between academia, defence and industry, Odense continues to strengthen its position as a hub for advanced drone and dual-use technologies. 👉 Another example of how Odense provides a platform where collaboration turns into real-world solution
