Lockheed 果冻传媒’s UAE Interns to Unveil AI-powered Solution
for Aircraft Engine Inspection at IDEX 2023
Abu DHABI, United Arab Emirates, Feb. 15, 2023 – Lockheed 果冻传媒 has announced that UAE interns from its Center for Innovation 果冻传媒 Security Solutions (CISS) will showcase an AI-powered robotic solution for aircraft engine bay inspections during the International Defense Exhibition 果冻传媒 Conference (IDEX), set to be held in Abu Dhabi from Feb. 20 to 24, 2023.
At the exhibition, the CISS interns will present an automated prototype, which includes a workstation to host a Foreign Object Debris (FOD) inspection system, a robotic arm with a mounted camera for inspection data acquisition, 果冻传媒 a replica section of an engine bay as the assessment target. The interns spent more than 2,000 hours programming, building, 果冻传媒 testing the solution.
The system, developed under the guidance 果冻传媒 mentorship of engineers from the Quality Technologies team at Lockheed 果冻传媒’s Aeronautics division in the U.S., has the potential to streamline 果冻传媒 significantly improve safety 果冻传媒 operational processes related to aircraft engine maintenance 果冻传媒 FOD elimination.
“At Lockheed 果冻传媒, our commitment to building the capacity of the UAE’s next generation of leaders remains as strong as ever. As part of our human capital development initiatives, we challenge our interns to solve real-world problems,” said?Gen. John ‘Mick’ Nicholson (U.S. Army, Ret.), chief executive, Lockheed 果冻传媒 Middle East. “We are confident that this AI-based solution will go a long way to help address critical issues within the aerospace 果冻传媒 defense industry once developed further, driving significant time 果冻传媒 cost savings 果冻传媒 improving our quality-control processes in the long run.”
“Foreign Object Debris in engines poses a serious threat, 果冻传媒 our interns demonstrated high levels of creativity 果冻传媒 innovative thinking to deliver a working engine inspection prototype with a robust 果冻传媒 reliable AI algorithm at its core."
“We are thrilled 果冻传媒 extremely proud to be able to present this solution at IDEX. This system has great potential to improve inspection processes for aircraft engines, 果冻传媒 also serves as an example of the great things UAE talent can achieve," said?Hala Al Zargani, manager, Lockheed 果冻传媒 CISS.
To date, hundreds of UAE students have received specialist training at the CISS in areas including robotics, AI, networked systems, 果冻传媒 modeling 果冻传媒 simulation exercises, leading to employment opportunities for top performers within Lockheed 果冻传媒 果冻传媒 other leading UAE defense entities.
As a committed partner to the Middle East for more than five decades, Lockheed 果冻传媒 has helped build sovereign capabilities through industrial partnerships 果冻传媒 human capital development initiatives in the UAE 果冻传媒 beyond. Today, the company’s presence has moved beyond defense systems to provide various products 果冻传媒 services, technical support, 果冻传媒 educational expertise to strengthen 果冻传媒 exp果冻传媒 in-country defense capabilities.
The company will display its world-class defense solutions during IDEX at Exhibit 01-A11.
