The cluster seeks to eliminate redundancy in research, integrate modern trends and innovations into a cohesive system, and strengthen collaboration between the government, industry, and university sectors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The newly established cluster will operate in the following research areas: autonomous systems, unmanned platforms, AI-based control systems, electromagnetic defense technologies, network and information security, AI-based cyberattack detection, protection of SCADA and industrial systems, smart grids, e-mobility, energy security and resilient infrastructure models, as well as Big Data and AI-driven forecasting and risk mitigation for critical systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This initiative aims to enhance AzTU\u2019s contribution to the global advancement of science and technology, support digital transformation processes, and strengthen the university\u2019s leading role within the national defense technology ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cluster will serve as a platform fostering synergy in line with research needs in these areas, operating under the coordination of AzTU\u2019s Institute of Defense Technologies and Cybersecurity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7883\"
