UTI invests in the development of national security solutions: drone and explosive detection
UTI continues investing into research and development projects meant to improve security at the border points: the Black Sea, border checkpoints and airports, taking into consideration the multiplication and diversification of the threats the European Union has to face, such as immigration and terrorist attacks.
One of our strengths and an important development trigger over the past 25 years resides in the constant concern and allotting financial and human resources in researching and manufacturing products that meet the clients’ requirements and the latest technological development trends.
In the years to come, the company will continue to develop innovative projects that impact the national security.
Securing the maritime borders
As of 2016, UTI is part of an international research and development project- System for detection of Threat Agents in Maritime Border Environment SAFESHORE, within a consortium led by the Belgian Royal Military Academy that consists of 10 international companies and institutions. The main objective of the project is to ensure the security of the maritime borders by detecting the threats represented by the drones. The project is financed through the Horizon 2020 Program within the Call BES-02-2015 Maritime Border Security.
Our objective within the international partnership is to put our competencies to good use and to continue innovating in the field of video and audio content analysis and security information management.
Detection of the dangerous substances in airports
Over the past years, THz technologies are very often used to identify dangerous substances. In line with this tendency, several Romanian institutions established a consortium: The Romanian Institute of Space Sciences, The National Institute for Laser, Plasma and Radiation Physics, The National Institute for Research and Development in Optoelectronics with the Polytechnic University of Bucharest and UTI Grup, as the industrial and co-financing partner. The partnership aims at producing a THz spectroscopy tool that could identify the dangerous substances. The tool is unique on the national and international market thanks to its compact structure, response speed and low manufacturing costs. It can be used in airports or at the border checkpoints to identify explosives and hide chemical or bacteriological substances.
