Bayanat, a provider of AI-powered geospatial solutions, has tied up with Xcalibur Multiphysics, a world leader in airborne geophysics, and Teledyne Geospatial for advancing geospatial and autonomous technologies.

 

The MoUs were signed by Bayanat COO, Abdulla Al Shamsi; Teledyne Vice President and General Manager, Geoffroy Deltel; and Xcalibur Multiphysics VP of Financing and Middle East Director, Dario Castellanos, in the presence of the Bayanat’s Managing Director, Hasan Al Hosani during the launch of the world-leading Smart & Autonomous Vehicle Industries (SAVI) Cluster in Abu Dhabi.

 

Bayanat and Teledyne Geospatial will work together to further develop industry leading autonomous survey technologies, introducing new and existing technologies for drones and underwater vehicles collecting geospatial data in air, on the water surface, and through the water column to the surface of the seafloor.

 

New technologies

As a part of the agreement, Bayanat will leverage the latest technologies in areas such as artificial intelligence, near real time and edge computing, digital twins and digital mapping. Through this collaboration, Bayanat and Teledyne Geospatial will develop new technologies for survey operations that offer an expanding range of cuttingedge products and solutions to enhance geospatial operations for land and sea.

 

Bayanat and Xcalibur will collaborate to deploy a first of its kind, state of art geophysical autonomous system for the UAE. The system will map natural resources with a focus on strategic minerals, water resources, and geothermal and hydrogen energy potential.

 

Moreover, both companies will work on exploring international opportunities together. Bayanat will also leverage latest technologies such as Machine Learning and AI to empower insights generation and data interpretation, supporting key global efforts and enabling countries to tap into new potentials.

 

Natural Capital Mapping

The companies will also work together to develop new emerging technologies related to Natural Capital Mapping to offer a complete range of cutting-edge products and solutions to enhance their land and sea operations.

 

Al Shamsi commented: “Our partnerships with Xcalibur Multiphysics and Teledyne Geospatial mark a transformative moment in our journey towards advancing geospatial and autonomous technologies. By joining forces with these industry leaders, we are not only enhancing Abu Dhabi's position as a smart mobility hub, but we are also collaborating on groundbreaking solutions that will drive innovation across cities, energy, national security, and environmental preservation, reinforcing our commitment to pioneering progress in these critical areas.”

 

Dario Castellanosof, VP of Financing and Middle East Director of Xcalibur Multiphysics commented: “This collaboration is a testament to our shared commitment to innovation and sustainability. Joining forces with Bayanat, we aim to unlock the potential of cutting-edge geospatial technologies, mapping natural resources and advancing the UAE's geophysical capabilities. Together, we'll play a significant role in shaping a more sustainable and connected future.”

 

Impactful initiative

Geoffroy Deltel, Vice President and General Manager of Teledyne Geospatial commented: “We are pleased to collaborate with Bayanat on this impactful initiative that will drive innovation and deliver breakthrough solutions to the Geospatial Community.”

 

Bayanat also displayed its cutting-edge advancements in autonomous vehicles at the launch of the SAVI Cluster, showcasing two robo-minibuses, a drone from Mira Aerospace (a JV between Bayanat and UAVOS) and a robo-taxi from TXAI. This showcase underscores Bayanat's position as a leader in autonomous technology and highlights the company's key role in pushing the boundaries of innovation in this field.--TradeArabia News Service
