The center will employ, among other things, "hackers with a white hat" who will fight the bad hackers
The Aerospace Industry (TAA) announced this morning at the Singapore Air Show, cooperation on cyber issues with EDB, the Singapore Economic Development Board.
This is a first-of-its-kind collaboration on cyber, one of the most talked about areas in the world that is in meteoric development.
The center is similar in its structure to the Cyber Accessibility Center of the Israel Defense Forces established in Israel. Its purpose is to develop and present solutions to deal with complex problems in the cyber arena, develop prototypes for solutions, bring them to maturity and market them to local and international markets.
The workforce will be based mainly on local workers in Singapore: researchers, engineers, scientists and computer experts (known as "white hat hackers"), with the aim of nurturing and building a local capacity that will draw its powers from cooperation with local and international academic institutions and research institutes.
The new center is expected to grow and develop in the next five years, and will work in synchronization with the TAA. This is to ensure that his R&D areas are in line with the company's strategy, its road map and its long-term goals.
The initial research will focus on critical and developing areas:
- • Active defense capabilities - identifying cyber attacks and catching the attackers in the act
- • Locating the physical location of cyber attackers
- • Ability to detect deviations from routine behavior in cyber space, which may indicate the first stages of a cyber attack
Yossi Weiss, CEO of the Aerospace Industry, stated during the launch of the collaboration at the Singapore Air Show: "We are happy about EDB's support in establishing an R&D center in the field of cyber early warning in Singapore. We consider the cyber field to be critical, as do our customers, and believe that everything related to the field will continue to develop and join the unique solution offering of the aerospace industry."
Yeoh Keat Chuan, CEO of EDB, said: "We welcome the decision of the ETA to establish an R&D center in the field of cyber early warning in Singapore. A growing number of companies are developing new solutions and capabilities in Singapore to address the threat of cyber attacks on corporations and governments. Our strong connection to regional markets, access to diverse human capital reserves and outstanding reputation will help these companies meet the growing demand in Asia for this type of solutions."
A new UAV for TEA - Sofer Haron
The Aerospace Industry (IAI) today unveiled its new unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) - "Super Heron", in a celebratory ceremony held at the International Air Show in Singapore.
The CEO of IAI, Yossi Weiss said: "We are proud to present the new generation of IAI UAVs. Super Heron leads the capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles of its kind in Israel and around the world. This new aircraft is based on the Heron UAV of the Aerospace Industry, which has received international recognition for its unique achievements and advanced capabilities."
Sofer Heron was opened in TEA in order to meet the advanced needs of leading customers. The new UAV includes a heavy fuel (diesel) engine of 200 horsepower and an advanced propulsion system that significantly upgrades its performance and various capabilities, including carrying capacity and rate of climb. The speed of the Super Heron reaches 150 knots and more.
According to Weiss, the avionics systems of the Super Heron (with triple redundancy), additional computerized systems, advanced processing capabilities, increased electrical power and a system architecture that allows for the efficient and simple integration of advanced probes (dedicated payloads), strengthen the UAV's future development potential . "The Super Heron systems have multiple configurations whose operational capabilities have been proven very successfully for intelligence, tracking, identification, target acquisition, maritime patrol and more missions. The multitude of sensors, first-class communication systems and proven capabilities for integration into the airspace constitute another and important layer in Sofer Heron's advanced capabilities."
One response
I hope that Israel will return to being a third nation, with an aspiration to be number 1. in the field of technology and defense products.
