“Robots and Drone” enhances the leadership of Emirati universities in the defense industry

State universities continue their pioneering role in developing national capabilities and enhancing scientific research activities in the defense and security sector, through their innovation and development of smart systems and solutions that support the security and safety system in the five defense fields (the air, the righteousness, the sea, the space, and the cybersecurity), where it revealed a monitoring conducted by «Emirates Today» that students and researchers of the United Arab Emirates, and Khalifa of Science and Technology, and higher technology colleges, have been able Of the completion of 17 innovations, unmanned aircraft, 3D printers, self -driving vehicles, smart systems for mines, and multi -purpose robots.

According to the monitoring, Khalifa University has completed seven innovations, which included the Khalifa Lunar University vehicle, which is a hybrid transport system with the animation feature, while the second innovation represented a central photography unit for a heat camera with smart systems, which is a new smart thermal sensor for daytime and night monitoring and navigation and guidance systems, where this product is useful in intelligence systems applications that include monitoring systems and applications Done -aircraft, advanced systems to help drivers.

The innovations of university students included high -frequency radar for the necessary horizon for maritime security, as it can detect ships for up to 200 nautical miles (360 km) and a 3D printer, allowing the manufacture of tissues and wound dressings to facilitate recovery from the shocks of the battlefields, an external structure of the knee to benefit from it in rehabilitation operations, fast -wing electric car Innovation contributes to discovering data leakage on Android phones using machine learning.

While the Emirates University revealed six innovations, which included two hybrid electric planes to take off and vertical landing, four -futable aircraft, and aircraft with fixed wings, and university students designed new “nanoparticles” bodies using artificial intelligence, can be stored easily as in response to a possible biological attack of a viral nature, and students created a mechanism of three -dimensional printing for vehicles Heavy, it can develop and implement printed gear using advanced added manufacturing techniques, along with a project of high brightness materials, for light detection of solvents. Innovations also included the design of a preliminary typical system for detection of infiltrators in the gray area using advanced image processing techniques within self -driving vehicles.

Higher colleges students implemented four innovations, which included “smart glove”, which is a wearable security system equipped with metal detector, the cardiovascular monitoring device, and an instant examination camera and discovery Terrain, designed to detect mines in various circumstances, in addition to the “Underwater Surveillance Robot Project supported by artificial intelligence”.

Research and development

Officials at the United Arab Emirates University, Khalifa University, and higher technology colleges emphasized the keenness of Emirati higher education institutions to adhere to research and development to meet the needs of various sectors in the country, and fulfill the requirements of the future, benefiting from their research experiences, distinguishing them in supporting innovation, adopting and launching startups in the field, in addition to encouraging researchers from students and faculty members to research and innovation.
