The United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) leading technology company
Group 42 (G42) has, in a historic move, signed a Memorandum of Understanding
with Rafael Advanced Defense Systems (Rafael) and Israel Aerospace
Industries (IAI).
The three companies plan on exploring collaborations in
research and development in order to offer effective solutions against
COVID-19.
The companies celebrated their cooperation in a virtual
signing ceremony and intend to use their fields of expertise and technologies
to develop medical initiatives to combat coronavirus.
“At G42, we embrace international cooperation as a way to
develop new and innovative technological solutions for the public good,” said
G42 CEO Peng Xiao. “The UAE has led by example in the global collaborative
effort to defeat the COVID-19 pandemic, and our company is privileged to follow
the lead and share resources and expertise with Rafael and IAI for such a significant cause.”
UAE’s G42 has been working hard since the beginning of the
coronavirus pandemic to provide effective solutions relating to the deadly
virus, including a recent end-to-end detection solution found in cooperation
with Oxford Nanopore Technologies.
Rafael is world-famous for its advanced defense systems,
including the recent development of a high-powered laser system that detects,
identifies and intercepts moving targets, allowing for advanced security of air
space from hostile drones.
IAI has also been working hard in the field of
technological defense, recently signing on a cooperation agreement with a
European power that had not been named to provide them with an advanced special
mission aircraft that is primarily used for strategic intelligence.
