The Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency is looking to exploit public and private 5G networks and has conducted trials involving a 5G network aboard a trailer as well as the use of gunshot detection systems and drones.
Aware of the role that 5G will play on the battlefield of tomorrow, the Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency (NDMA) has been testing military applications for this technology and is seeking ways to use both public and private networks.
