According to multiple reports, the electric drone measures 6.2 meters between wingtips and weighs 265 kg together with the harvesting attachment. Using drones for thinning forests is more environmentally friendly and leaves remaining trees more resistant to storms, insect attacks, and fungal diseases, reports say. Sveaskog aims to start using Airforestry's drones for commercial thinning over a seven-year period from 2028 to 2035. According to Dagens Industri, Caroline Walerud described that the technology will allow work in dense forest without affecting the ground.
Separately, cybersecurity experts highlight the importance of chip-level security for protecting critical infrastructure and sensitive information in the public sector. Cyberattacks are increasingly based on activities other than spreading malicious code, according to reports. Artificial intelligence is a double-edged sword in cybersecurity, enabling more effective attacks but also supporting protection and threat identification. According to Dagens Industri, Juha-Matti Mukari described that visibility down to the hardware level is crucial and a positive development.
We will be able to work in dense forest without affecting the ground.
We cannot protect something we don't have visibility into. Therefore, visibility down to the hardware level is crucial and a positive development.
