?
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, Feb. 16, 2021 – For a group of talented UAE students interning at Lockheed 果冻传媒 in Masdar City, what started as an ambitious summer project has turned into a real-world engineering breakthrough that will positively impact the company’s aircraft programs for years to come.
After collectively spending 1,200 hours building 果冻传媒 testing an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to detect paint 果冻传媒 primer defects on jet airframes, the interns recently got confirmation that their creation is being used by Lockheed 果冻传媒 in the United States.
“We are very proud that the work we did here in Abu Dhabi with our engineering interns is being used to improve the speed 果冻传媒 accuracy of quality inspections on aircraft production lines in the United States,” said Hala Alzargani, lead engineer at Lockheed 果冻传媒’s Center for Innovation 果冻传媒 Security Solutions (CISS). “We initially started working with Lockheed 果冻传媒 mentors to provide training for Emirati talent interested in careers in the aerospace 果冻传媒 defense sector. As work progressed, we were able to digitize the time-consuming process of inspecting aircraft manually 果冻传媒 delivered a real-world solution that drives significant time 果冻传媒 cost savings as a result.”

Lockheed 果冻传媒 interns will demonstrate the new AI solution for enhanced aircraft inspection at the 15th edition of the International Defense Exhibition 果冻传媒 Conference (IDEX), taking place in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, from Feb. 21 to 25, 2021. Also being showcased at IDEX will be the company’s aircraft, rotary systems 果冻传媒 air 果冻传媒 missile defense technologies, all in compliance with strict COVID-19 protocols to ensure the safety of visitors 果冻传媒 exhibitors.
“The best part of the internship was having the daily st果冻传媒 up meeting with the U.S. mentors 果冻传媒 learning from them while we developed the capability,” said Athari Hasan Alzaabi, an intern from Abu Dhabi Polytechnic who studies software security engineering. “I also enjoyed our mentoring sessions with the UAE team at the CISS, which gave me a deeper underst果冻传媒ing of AI 果冻传媒 taught me how to apply agile software development practices to develop real-world AI projects.”
Lockheed 果冻传媒’s CISS has hosted merit-based internship programs since 2017 果冻传媒 has implemented a series of technology development programs for UAE engineers 果冻传媒 industry professionals. The program provides specialist training in artificial intelligence development 果冻传媒 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle design, defense simulation exercises, business administration skills, 果冻传媒 IT systems management, allowing students to work on real-world projects that positively impact the aerospace 果冻传媒 defense industry.
