With the signing of a document on defence research and innovation collaboration, VIKI and Dynamit Nobel Defense Hungary Zrt. strengthened their collaboration on April 7 in Kaposvár.
The memorandum of understanding / declaration of intent was signed by László Deme, Deputy State Secretary for Force Development and Defence Innovation, designated CEO of VIKI and Joachim Hutt, CEO of DND Hungary. The event was also attended by Mayor Károly Szita and Avishey Reger, President of DND.
This is a significant step towards the capability development of the Hungarian Defence Forces, which will bring together not only the actors of the defense industry and the expertise of the Defence Forces but also the knowledge base of universities and research institutes.
The conflicts of our time have demonstrated that traditional warfare tools continue to play an important role in modern warfare. During the development of movement-restricting capabilities, the need for the application of anti-tank mines and anti-armor devices has also emerged. These are technologies that, when used as a system, provide a three-dimensional model of the terrain, enable virtual mission planning, real-time collection of meteorological data, determination of navigable routes, autonomous deployment, continuous monitoring of the status of deployed equipment, and activation in a digital, trackable manner. These systems are highly accurate and efficient, with some elements also being well applicable to support civilian activities.
