ABU DHABI / WAM
Abu Dhabi-based Masdar Institute of Science Technology, UK-based QinetiQ, a leading technology development and engineering company operating primarily in the defense, security and aerospace markets, and Swiss-based all-terrain vehicle (ATV) developer Sand-X Motors, have announced their collaboration to develop an Unmanned Rover System (URS) on Saturday at the URS award kick-off meeting, which was hosted by the Defense Services Marketing Council (DSMC).
The URS development programme was conceived as part of Masdar Institute and DSMC’s partnering to Achieve Innovation in Defense and Aerospace (PAIDA) Working Group.
The collaborative project will integrate Sand-X’s ATV with artificial intelligence (AI) and automation to develop a purpose-built ground vehicle, to meet the UAE’s URS needs.
