“Most of our technology stacks speaks about being able to get data, data acquisitions, but also leaving the people out of harm’s way, by keeping the people out of the danger firing line in this instance. But be able to gather the data, whether it’s drones, legged robotics, sensors, any communications, ruggedized tablets, we enable them to make the decisions in the field while gathering repeatable, accurate data as often and as accurately as possible.”

19. SOUNDBITE (English) Rethabile Letlala, Deep Tech Solutions representative:
“Speaking about technology and also man’s best friend, some of the work we’re doing with Spot the robot dog from Boston Dynamics, is to be able to help people to do advanced remote inspections. If you think about search and rescue efforts, which we see a lot in the mining sector, but also in kind of disaster management types, where the Army also gets involved heavily, we need to be able to identify what risks are available in the area, but also be able to sometimes actually give some comfort to some of the victims that there is help coming.”

“I think what makes AAD (Africa Aerospace and Defence) unique is the fact that it’s a South African grown initiative and it brings international communities together. I mean, we’ve got India, we’ve got the US, we’ve got UK. Everybody comes together and showcases what they’ve got to offer. And it’s good to see.”
