As of 2017, Teamnet, one of the main system integrators in the region, together with AFT Design, will put into operation the first R&D center of autonomous systems in Romania, a press release informs.
Autonomous R&D Center was developed over two years and represents
the first initiative of its kind in the country and one of the most important in Central and Eastern Europe.
The research center will carry out three types of autonomous robots: unmanned aircraft, in a first stage and terrestrial and naval systems are scheduled to be developed for the coming years. The center will provide product development from prototype stage and zero series to production series.
“Currently we are going to make operational the Autonomous R&D Center located near the Clinceni airfield. Besides the already known products such as Hirrus UAV and Signus tactical aircraft, we will be able to develop other types of autonomous aerial systems in cooperation with our partners in aviation and robotics, such as Airbus and BlueBird. Also next year, we plan to extend the regional partners network at regional level,” Bogdan Padiu, CEO Teamnet Group, stated.
Hirrus system, based on the UAV technology (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), is the first 100 percent Romanian autonomous aircraft and started the monitoring activity in 2015. The unmanned air vehicle Hirrus has an autonomy of approximately three hours and can reach speeds of more than 110 kilometers an hour, at heights of more than 2,500 meters.
With an experience of 15 years, Teamnet is one of the important IT&C integrators in the region, with subsidiaries in Romania, Turkey, Croatia, Serbia, Belgium, Switzerland and Moldova. Teamnet Group recorded a consolidated turnover of over EUR 110 million in 2015.
