Can the environment contribute to a stronger defence?

19 June 2026

At first glance, the image appears to show nothing more than a quiet forest landscape. Look a little closer.


Throughout history, terrain, weather and nature have been important factors in both defence and preparedness. Those who understand their surroundings often have an advantage.


Today, technology has become an increasingly important part of the equation. Still, it is worth asking whether we make sufficient use of the resources that already exist around us.


Can existing structures, terrain and nature be used in new ways? Can technology interact more closely with its surroundings instead of trying to replace them?


These are some of the questions we spend time exploring at Bråttsjy. It is one of several topics we are working on, and we have identified a number of interesting opportunities at the intersection of technology, nature and situational awareness.


Perhaps some of tomorrow’s solutions can be found right there.
