Norway’s thousand-year-old Viking history of raiders plying the North Atlantic in search of plunder may seem far removed from the modern day military. But the governing Norse law of the time, the Gulatingslovi, laid the very foundation for national defence: Every settlement had to provide and outfit a leidangskip, a communal boat to be used to protect Norway’s long coast against rival clans and foreign invaders.

There is no longer any such thing as ‘far away’,” the Minister says in a broad brush outline of Norway’s military strategy given to the Oslo Military Society in early January, 2008.

By Ed Milsom

The mathematician James Yorke once remarked that “The most successful people are those who are good at Plan B.” In a post 9-11 world, Norway, just like anywhere else, is being forced to meet challenges to security with innovation, forward planning and meticulous research. “Plan A” is simply no longer adequate. Fortunately, there are hundreds of businesses, large and small, working on new solutions and technologies designed to meet these harsh realities with confidence. As long as threats to security continue, Norwegian companies will seek solutions.

Education is one key to creating social spaces for dialogue. defence & security technology 29 universal composite applications – building a future

By Ed Milsom

Norway’s long-heralded reputation as an environment where difficult problems find their natural solutions is built upon historic achievements that belie the natural challenges of a small population, demanding climate and a physical location stretching right up to the northernmost borders of humanity. Norwegians have been responsible for countless firsts in diverse fields from polar exploration to marine biology. The common theme – one of achievement against all odds – also permeates Norwegian industry and research communities. The bedrock of these achievements is a culture of resourcefulness, suffused with innovation and cooperation – philosophies shared by the composite industry.

By David John Smith

The Norwegian Ministry of Defence intensified efforts in the 1990s to lessen the gaps between security policy and defence policy. The tragic events of September 2001 then provided an additional impetus for a transformation of the Norwegian Armed Forces – aimed at achieving and maintaining a higher level of readiness, preparedness and flexibility in operations in order to be prepared to handle new threats.

This process has been a success, bringing based on mobilization and a mass army terms the ability to handle all major the Ministry of Defence and the Armed to a more integrated, flexible and readily dimensions of security – state security, Forces closer together to central civilian available military. societal security and human security. resources on practical, operational and strategic levels.
