About this tender
Miljødirektoratet skal følge opp Meld. St. 15 (2024–2025) Droner og ny luftmobilitet – sikker og bærekraftig utvikling av norsk luftfart. Som del av oppfølgingen skal direktoratet utrede nærmere hvilke konsekvenser støy og andre ulemper ved bruk av droner kan medføre for natur og dyreliv. Miljødirektoratet ønsker derfor å få gjennomført en systematisk kunnskapssyntese av tilgjengelig forskning og annen relevant dokumentasjon om hvordan droneflyging påvirker natur og ville dyr i lufta, på land og i vann. Kunnskapssyntesen skal være transparent og etterprøvbar og gi et faglig grunnlag for Miljødirektoratets videre arbeid. Oppdraget omfatter ikke nye feltundersøkelser eller eksperimentelle studier. Hovedvekten skal ligge på små og mellomstore sivile droner. Utvikling innen større droner og ny luftmobilitet skal omtales der dette er relevant for framtidig påvirkning på natur og dyreliv.
Key requirements
- ✓Systematic, transparent and reproducible knowledge synthesis of existing research and documentation
