About us

Norwegian Aviation and Defence Group (NADG) was established in 2017 and is an independently owned Norwegian company. We provide Bell products to Norway and Iceland serving offshore, utility and military operations. NADG is recognized as an industrial cooperation partner by the Norwegian Ministry of Defense (NMoD).

NADG is using its unique knowledge and experience to build a state of the art Aviation Training Center Norway (ATCN) close to Stavanger Airport, Sola.

OUR Partners

Partnerships drive solutions and we can achieve better utilization of resources if partners collaborate to optimize networks and competences.

Our main partners are listed below.

Bell

For more than 80 years, Bell has been reimagining the experience of flight – and where it can take us. Bell´s breakthrough innovations deliver exceptional experiences to our customers. Efficiently. Reliably. And always, with safety at the forefront.

Tau Autonomy Center

A functional test and training facility for air and sea based autonomous drones and offshore installations located in Tau Næringspark close to Stavanger, Norway. TAC was established early in 2020 to meet the industry’s need for suitable testing and training facilities.

OUR PURPOSE

We provide helicopters for any type of mission, be it offshore, utility or military. We pledge to work together with our customers to deliver safety-focused, cost efficient operations within current and future industries relevant to our markets.

By 2023 we will provide training and simulation through our state of the art Aviation Training Center Norway (ATCN). Creating a Norwegian powerhouse for aviation training, simulation, logistics and maintenance is the best way to ensure the safety of everyone who flies as part of their profession.

Building future competence also includes training drone pilots, as drones are used in multiple industries. As is the case for helicopters, expertise is needed on local conditions such as harsh weather, wind and geography, which is an important building block for ATCN.

Our team

CEO Ole-Petter Bakken has worked relentlessly since 2000 with one goal in mind – to build the Aviation Training Center Norway (ATCN) at Stavanger Airport, Sola. He has over 20 years experience from the aviation, military, oil and gas industry.
