For decades, the Farnborough International Airshow has been the global platform for the aerospace and defense industry, showcasing the pinnacle of technologies that are revolutionizing the world. Utah Lt. Governor Deidre Henderson, State Senator Jerry Stevenson, House Speaker Brad Wilson, and others led a delegation from Utah to this world-class event.

They met with some of the most advanced and innovative businesses in aerospace to talk about how Utah has aligned its higher-education institutions and technical colleges with the industry's workforce needs. Advanced Air Mobility companies with a presence in Utah attended as well, including Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Parker-Hannifin, and Hexcel Corporation. 
 

Fortem Technologies recently announced that it will work with Smart Communication Systems to provide counter drone solutions to defense and security clients, with initial installation for the Qatari Ministry of Interior for the FIFA World Cup events in November.

“The Government of Qatar understands the importance of providing comprehensive security from the ground to the air for the FIFA World Cup matches and beyond,” said Timothy Bean, CEO of Fortem Technologies. “We are thrilled to be able to partner with Smart Communication Systems to provide the best counter-drone security to ensure the safety of players, sports fans, and everyone involved in putting together one of the most viewed global events in decades.”

The Fortem SkyDome® System is an award winning, end-to-end, counter UAS solution that detects, defeats, and protects against rogue drones. The SkyDome system classifies threats and mitigates them autonomously with its interceptor drone, DroneHunter®. At the heart of the Fortem SkyDome System is TrueView® radar, a compact, AI-enabled, networkable radar designed to perform in urban environments and crowded, public places such as sports arenas and airports.

“After much consideration of companies around the globe, Fortem’s offerings outshined all competition,” said Walid Chahine, Managing Partner of Smart Communication Systems and exclusive distributor of Fortem in Qatar. “The world is at a point where enhanced security is becoming the norm, and we’re determined to stay ahead of the curve.”
