Detection made easier

The Masdar Institute of Science and Technology, an independent, research-driven graduate-level university focused on advanced energy and sustainable technologies, has unveiled a new prototype defect detection system designed for aerospace structures that uses a non-destructive testing (NDT) approach and ensures faster more efficient inspection rates.

Masdar unveiled the prototype to a delegation from research project sponsors, Mubadala Development Company (Mubadala) and Strata Manufacturing PJSC (Strata) including Homaid Al Shemmari, CEO of Aerospace & Engineering Services at Mubadala.

Commenting on the collaboration, Al Shemmari, said: “As the aerospace industry continues to experience rapid growth here in the UAE, we are constantly seeking R&D collaborations that result in the delivery of high-quality products with increased reliability.

“Our work with the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology, in collaboration with Strata, directly supports our strategy of partnering with academic institutions to advance innovation across the sector and help further the UAE’s knowledge-based economy. The development of this new state-of-the-art system is evidence of the talent and drive the UAE has to advance our position in the global aerospace industry.”
