Welcoming Nordfen to the DIAS Community

We are delighted to announce that nordfen has joined the Drone Industry Association Switzerland (DIAS) as our newest member!

Based in Zurich, nordfen is pioneering the next generation of high-fidelity simulation and training software for remotely operated vehicles, including drones and unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Their technology enables developers and operators to design, test, and train within advanced virtual environments that replicate real-world conditions with exceptional accuracy.

This approach delivers several key benefits:

Safety first – Operators can prototype missions, test system limits, and prepare for complex operations without any risk to people, property, or equipment.

Efficiency and cost savings – Virtual testing reduces the need for extensive physical trials, allowing projects to move faster from concept to deployment.

Innovation acceleration – By creating a flexible and realistic training ground, nordfen empowers drone developers to experiment and refine solutions at a pace that matches the industry’s rapid growth.

Scalability – From individual pilot training to fleet-wide system simulations, their software adapts to diverse use cases and operational needs.

At DIAS, we believe simulation will play an increasingly important role in the safe integration of drones into society and airspace. As Switzerland continues to lead the way in drone innovation, nordfen’s expertise in virtual testing, AI-driven modelling, and immersive training tools strengthens the entire ecosystem.

Their mission aligns seamlessly with DIAS’s vision: ensuring that Switzerland remains a global leader in drone technology by fostering collaboration, supporting sustainable growth, and promoting the highest standards of safety and reliability.

We warmly welcome nordfen to the DIAS community. Together, we look forward to shaping the future of drone technology—where virtual innovation accelerates real-world impact.

Welcome aboard, nordfen!
