Israel sets up new department to boost development of AI and autonomy
Israel will continue to develop autonomy for its weapons and platforms as it brings together defence personnel, academia and industry.
ASRG receives two UAS C2 vehicles
The Autonomous Systems Research Group (ASRG) at the University of Southampton has received two UAS Command and Control (C2) vehicles from BN Security & Defence to support ASRG's work in autonomous systems.
The two vehicles will provide C2 facilities for international UAS missions in space, air, land, surface and sub-sea. Missions undertaken by the university include pilot training, air traffic control compatibility, low-altitude operations safety, civil unmanned aviation, weather prediction and pollution monitoring.
The vehicles utilise a Mercedes Sprinter chassis, long-range cameras, marine type radar systems and a roof-mounted Ka band satellite dish with a pneumatically actuated 10m communications mast to enable field communications and telemetry.
Both the vehicles feature NAS drives that help to store and analyse data, a 10kw generator and inverter system for air-conditioning, power and lighting, secure helium gas and fuel storage facilities, overhead storage and cabinets, desks with inset video displays and control panels, an external side awning, a sliding seat system, and a rear workshop space.
