On August 8th, the international event "LTU-DEU Exchange on Defence Research" took place at the Fraunhofer Institute for Communication, Information Processing and Ergonomics (Fraunhofer FKIE) in Wachtberg (Germany).
The meeting was attended by researchers from the Institute and representatives of the German Federal Ministry of Defence, as well as by a Lithuanian delegation - representatives from the Ministry of Education, Science and Sports, the Ministry of National Defence of Lithuania, the Lithuanian Armed Forces, scientific institutes, higher education institutions, and the Lithuanian Research Council. FTMC was represented by its new Director, Prof. Dr. Ramūnas Skaudžius.
Experts shared their experience in the organisation and funding of research in the defence industry. The topics that attracted the most attention were lasers, autonomous solutions and the use of artificial intelligence in warfare.
FTMC presented what is already doing in this field and discussed possible future joint projects.
"This meeting reinforced the motivation to continue research on defence topics at FTMC and to initiate projects. This does not mean starting from scratch on new topics, but a new approach is needed to see how we can boost what we are already strong on. For instance, the collaboration with Fraunhofer FKIE scientists opens up new opportunities in the fields of radars and optical communication," says R. Skaudžius.
