A memorandum of understanding (MoU) has also been signed between the parties to commence the partnership.
The proposed Saab-NTU Joint Research Centre will primarily conduct research in the fields of artificial intelligence, cyber security, machine learning, computer vision, anomaly detection and unmanned aircraft system camera insertion in order to address different issues related to air traffic management.
The centre also intends to carry out research related to the development of underwater robotics, including robot perception logistics such as sensing, detection and navigation, as well as endurance technologies.
Saab chief technology officer Pontus Laval said: “Earlier research projects have all been located in Sweden, tied to Swedish universities and researchers.
