Moroccan startup uses street-cleaning drones from COVID-19.
Rabat - Moroccan firm Farasha Systems has started a drone-based cleaning
campaign to battle the COVID-19 epidemic. On April 16, the startup disinfected
Harhoura, near Rabat, with elected authorities. Farasha Systems sprayed
disinfectants using drones in Harhoura. Drone disinfection
saves time and labour. The business has created a spraying device that
disinfects public places while meeting health and safety norms. Abderahman
Kriouile, creator of Farasha Systems, stated, "To battle the spread of
COVID-19, we chose to use our drones, expertise, and technology to help local
authorities sanitise public locations." The "spray drone"
increases disinfection capacity, notably in parks, parking lots, and
boulevards. Kriouile recommended generalising the novel disinfection procedure
at COVID-19.
The business also showed a thermal-detection drone. The drone can identify
COVID-19 instances based on body temperature. Farasha Systems provides
maintenance services utilising drones and AI. Surveillance, agriculture, and
industry use their solutions. The company is one of several that addressed the
national appeal to battle COVID-19 in Morocco. Moroccan company STM Loop showed
a COVID-19 automated ventilator on April 15. The device, created by Tangier
researchers and OK Design, contains an intelligent algorithm that calculates
the ideal air pressure and volume for each patient. All innovation components
are approved and accessible in Morocco, allowing for 20 to 50 units per day of
manufacture.
Drones/UAVs procurement from Israel and Turkey
Morocco bought Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drones and Israeli
Harop loitering bombs this year ("suicide" drones). These two
combat-proven UAVs might offer Rabat an advantage in future conflicts. The
Royal Moroccan Armed Forces bought 13 Baykar TB2 drones in April and started
receiving them on Sept. 17. $70 million for four pilot stations. Rabat ordered
six more TB2s two months after getting its first. MALE drones are cheaper than
many others on the market. They've had success in Syria, Libya, and
Nagorno-Karabakh. "The TB2 and its accompanying bombs combine
technological capability with affordability," stated British Defense
Minister Ben Wallace last year. When deployed with the Israeli-built Harop,
TB2s may deal a lot of damage to a well-armed and technologically sophisticated
foe.
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) IAI +0.6% reportedly got
$22 million from Morocco in November. Israel is prepared to give Morocco with
loitering bombs, according to sources. Israeli-Moroccan relations normalized
last year. It's unclear whether the money was for drones or a suspected
initiative to build suicide drones in Morocco. Morocco looks to be copying
Azerbaijan by purchasing both unmanned systems. Azerbaijan's Harops destroyed
many of Armenia's Russian-built S-300 air defense missile systems in last
year's Nagorno-Karabakh battle. Rabat may have a similar plan if conflict
breaks out between it and Algeria, which supports the Polisario Front in
Western Sahara. Morocco and Algeria have becoming increasingly tense. Algeria
cut ties with Morocco in August for "hostile measures." Algeria
accused Morocco for the striking deaths of three truckers in November.
Algeria's president said the attack was carried out "with a sophisticated
weapon" but did not indicate what type or where. Morocco started receiving
TB2 drones in September, according to AFP. In a battle with Algeria, a large
fleet of TB2s with dozens of Harops may be catastrophic. Harops are meant to
latch on to enemy radars, crash into them, and explode as part of SEAD
operations. They might threaten Algeria's Russian-built S-300, S-350E, and
S-400 air defense systems and Pantsir-S1/SMs, Buk-M2s, and Tor-M2s. While
Harops concentrate on SEAD, TB2s may target enemy ground units and tanks with
MAM-L or MAM-T Smart Micro Munitions. Such an attack might win Morocco the
fight.
Morocco also invests in ground-based electronic warfare
devices, which aid SEAD operations. It ordered an undetermined quantity of
mobile KORAL electronic warfare systems from Turkey for $50.7 million, possibly
the same export deal KORAL producer Aselsan signed for the same amount to
"an international customer" last June. KORAL jams enemy radars. It
has 90-mile range. One shouldn't be shocked if Morocco acquires IAI's new
Scorpius-G electronic warfare system, which its maker claims has transformed
electronic warfare, given its evident objective of purchasing some of the
finest equipment Israel and Turkey have to offer. The Royal Armed Forces announced
Monday that Morocco has purchased the Israeli-made Skylock Dome anti-drone
technology. Skylock Systems' technology can identify and destroy unmanned
drones, the company said in February at IDEX in Abu Dhabi.
The multimillion-dollar arrangement will bring the two
nations closer and boost the Turkish drone sector. Moroccan media sites close
to the administration say the nation would buy 13 Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2
drones to increase its military's efficiency. Morocco will get four
drone-operating ground stations as part of the $70 million transaction. Since
they showed themselves in Syria, Northern Iraq, Libya, and Azerbaijan, where
they might influence the military result in Baku's favor, demand for Turkish drones
has risen.
An expert on Turkey's drone capabilities believes the
country has mastered intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and
"advanced technology" that can target and kill. "Since Turkey
joined the global drone industry, nations are comparing purchases. Since Turkey
began selling drones, others are interested "TRT World's Seren. Seren adds
that Turkey's overseas military sales processes are less cumbersome and
restricted than the US and Israel's. Morocco is already utilizing American and
Israeli drones against the Polisario Front, a renegade rebel organization
fighting for an independent state in Western Sahara. Separatist parties like
the Polisario Front have fought for decades against Moroccan control over
Western Sahara. Seren predicts that buying Turkish drones would boost relations
between Rabat and Ankara.
"Morocco has better connections with Turkey than
others. Politics also affect procurement possibilities "saying, Bayraktar
TB2 did not refute the transaction but "cannot confirm" the story.
Turkish drone sales to Morocco won't affect Algeria, another nation with whom
Turkey has strengthened relations. Algeria's support for the Polisario Front
has strained ties with Morocco. Morocco recently assassinated a key Polisario
military member using drones. In the 1980s, Morocco erected a 2,700km sand wall
against the Polisario Front. Ukraine, in a low-level battle with Russian-backed
rebels in the east, bought 12 Bayraktar drones in 2019. As the battle with
Russian-backed troops escalates, Ukraine has signaled a readiness to acquire
additional drones. Qatar and Azerbaijan have bought Turkish drones, and other
nations are interested.
Turkish drones are one of the country’s most successful and
homegrown defense technologies. Turkey's political and defense establishment
has prioritized domestic technical development of its armaments industry for
decades to protect its regional interests.
Insurance Companies using Drones
Drone alongwith AI is
using for inspection which minimize survey cost. It helps in fast claim payment
that reduce time and administration cost.
