Today, the company has announced that the Israel Ministry of Defence and the Israel Innovation Authority has appointed MOB to execute a Research and Development project which is valued to be more than $1.8 million. It was awarded as a result of the unique solution proposed by the company.Â

The project is focussed on the development of cyber technologies with the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The AI will act as an add-on module for drones and unmanned platforms. The company is further planning to develop a system for its commercial and industrial drones and robotics which will be secured from hijacking as well as spoofing, thus, enabling the drone cybersecurity, the freedom of being operated without any intervention in real time.

The company expects this solution to be a game changer for the deployment of the MOB’s commercial drone as cybersecurity is considered to be very critical for the success of the commercial drone market. Further, this innovative solution will help in reducing the cybersecurity risks and increase the scalability of the commercial drone market.

This project will reinforce the company as a holistic provider of solutions for drones and robotics. The duration of the project is two years for which the company will be receiving a grant of 66%. The program will strengthen the company’s long-term financial position as well as the cash-flow performance.
