These days, the NATO Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Cluster Workshop “Unmanned and Autonomous Systems” is taking place in Katwijk, Netherlands, bringing together international teams working on cutting-edge technologies in the field of unmanned and autonomous systems. The event showcases projects dedicated to artificial intelligence, autonomous navigation, robotic platforms, reconnaissance, and modern security systems.
The National Aerospace University “Kharkiv Aviation Institute” is represented by Oleksandr Karatanov, Associate Professor at the Department of Information Technology of Design (105).
This is a joint scientific project between KhAI and the University of Arizona — “System of Satellites, Stratospheric Sailplanes, and Drones for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance in Multiple Domains.” The project focuses on creating a multi-level system of satellites, stratospheric sailplanes, and drones for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance across multiple domains. It is precisely this project that has been included in the NATO workshop program.
Two international teams are working on the project.
From KhAI:
Dmytro Krytskyi
Oleksandr Karatanov
Alina Artiomova
Andrii Bykov
Anna Ovchynnikova
Mykyta Skorino
From the University of Arizona:
Professor Sergiy Shkarayev — a KhAI alumnus
Fabio Kurti
Lorenzo Federici
Kevin McCue
Tino Flokas
Tim Akert
Het Patel
Seth Barber
Ketan Vasudeva
It is especially gratifying that one of the leaders of the international team is Professor Sergiy Shkarayev — a KhAI alumnus who currently represents the University of Arizona. This is further confirmation that KhAI graduates successfully work in leading scientific centers around the world.
Oleksandr Karatanov on the first day of the event: “Our poster is the most popular!”
This is a wonderful sign that KhAI's developments are generating significant interest among the international scientific community and partners of the NATO Program.
We wish the team successful work, new professional contacts, and eagerly look forward to further reports from the Netherlands!
