TII's Secure Systems Research Center Collaborates with Global Universities on RISC-V-Based Secure Flight Computer System
TII ·
TII's Secure Systems Research Center (SSRC) is partnering with Khalifa University, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, University of Bologna, University of Waterloo, and McMaster University to develop a RISC-V-based secure flight computer system. The project aims to create an open RISC-V-based System on a Chip (SoC) architecture and software stack for secure application processors in drone flight computers. The collaboration seeks to improve performance, efficiency, reliability, and security relative to current commercial flight computer systems. Why it matters: This international collaboration strengthens the UAE's position in advanced hardware and software co-design for critical applications like drone technology, while also fostering local expertise through partnerships with UAE universities.
