MILAN, Italy — Unmanned technologies could offer
the West an opening to catch up with Russia, bogged down in Ukraine, in
establishing a foothold in the warming Arctic, according to issue experts.
The sea ice covering the Arctic ocean is melting
at an alarming rate of 13% per decade due to climate change, according to the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This has created for
Arctic states – the United States, Canada, Denmark,
Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia and Sweden – as well as non-Arctic countries a
renewed land of opportunity to assert military and commercial control over this
recently accessible territory as greater natural resource extraction and new
shipping lanes have emerged.
