NORDSEC – Nordic Defence and Security Cluster welcomes Emblem Automekanikk AS as a new member. The Ålesund-based company develops advanced combustion engine propulsion systems for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), targeting improved performance, efficiency, and operational flexibility in professional and dual-use applications.

Emblem Automekanikk is led by CEO/CTO Jo-Einar Emblemsvåg and operates at the intersection of mechanical engineering and next-generation propulsion design. The company is currently developing a fundamentally new propulsion architecture aimed at overcoming key limitations in conventional combustion engine technologies used in UAV platforms. Their focus on propulsion innovation for UAVs represents an important capability area within both defence and dual-use technology development.

With a strong engineering-driven approach, the company seeks to enhance endurance, reliability, and overall system performance for unmanned and autonomous systems – capabilities that are increasingly critical across defence and security domains.

Through its membership, Emblem Automekanikk aims to engage with the broader Nordic defence and security ecosystem, leveraging NORDSEC as a platform for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and business development.

– Joining NORDSEC provides us with access to a relevant network of partners and stakeholders. We look forward to contributing with our expertise in propulsion systems and gaining insights that can accelerate the development of next-generation UAV technologies, says Emblemsvåg.

The company will contribute to the cluster with specialized competence in propulsion systems for UAVs and autonomous platforms, as well as practical experience from developing new combustion-based technologies tailored for demanding operational environments.
