As part of a new collaboration between BAE Systems and the University of Birmingham, advanced sensor technologies will be developed, as they signed a Memorandum of Understanding to launch a Consortium of Advanced Sensor Technologies, drawing on prominent experts from industry, academia and government.
Professor Kai Bongs, a pioneer researcher in quantum sensors and timing in the United Kingdom, and director of innovation at the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Birmingham, said: “Advanced sensor technologies have the potential to create enormous economic value and change the way we live. New sensor capabilities and digital twinning enable disruptive innovation in a faster and cheaper way, resulting in unprecedented benefit to society and the economy, we now need to accelerate market attraction by demonstrating how these new sensors are incorporated into high-value systems, changing processes and our lifestyles.
