Our University Has Licensed Four of Its Technologies!

Technology Transfer to the Defense Industry!

Developed by our university and its affiliate BAUMIND Inc.,the inventions titled"A Modular Electro-Optical Communication Device", "An Underwater Communication Device"and "An Underwater Analysis Device for Analyzing the Absorption Capacity of Water"have been licensed to STM Savunma Teknolojileri Mühendislik ve Dan. A.Ş. .

An agreement has been reached with STM Savunma Teknolojileri Mühendislik ve Danışmanlık A.Ş. to carry out sales and marketing activities after the inventions are produced, to perform their post-sale installation and integration on submarine platforms, and to provide the necessary engineering and field expertise.

 

1. A Modular Electro-Optical Communication Device

Mounted on elements such as fixed platforms, binoculars and telescopes, the product provides secure, full-duplex (two-way) electro-optical communication that cannot be intercepted, jammed or detected. With a communication range of 3,000 yd (2.7 km), the product can easily be used for bridge-to-bridge communication between surface units, for transmitting tactical messages in addition to or instead of the SP telephone circuit within the framework of RAS/FAS operations, and for exchanging technical information on ongoing operations. The invention offers an innovative and secure solution for military communication systems.

                                                    

 

2. An Underwater Communication Device

As is well known, underwater communication today is possible through diving hand signals and acoustic means. Diving hand signals are not effective for underwater communication and can lead to many misunderstandings. Acoustic communication, on the other hand, is not preferred, especially for military use, because it can easily be detected and intercepted from outside. The electro-optical communication device, which minimizes all these problems, enables full-duplex communication between divers. The system cannot be jammed or intercepted by RF or acoustic means. It operates at a maximum depth of 100 meters with a communication range of 50 meters. While the current prototype is handheld, integration options such as arm, diving cylinder and head mounting are also available. It can be used with microphones and earphones integrated into full-face and/or two-piece diving masks, as well as with a specially designed throat microphone. Enabling communication between submarines and divers, this system is of critical importance with the innovative and secure solution it offers to the defense industry.

                                                   

 

3. An Underwater Analysis Device for Analyzing the Absorption Capacity of Water

 

The invention was developed and produced by BAU İnovasyon ve Danışmanlık A.Ş., an affiliate of BAU, within the scope of a TÜBİTAK TEYDEB 1501 project and with BAU's academic advisory support. It enables the optical conductivity of sea or lake water to be measured depending on wavelength. These measurements make it possible to map the optical conductivity of water and to obtain a wide range of oceanographic data such as hydrocarbon distribution, temperature, depth, salinity and water quality. The device is also used to measure/calculate values such as the speed of sound in water, temperature, pressure and salinity. Sound velocity measurement devices are most commonly used on submarines and are of critical importance in tactical and operational applications. This product is also the first spectrum measurement device produced in Türkiye with national and domestic resources. Given its importance in military use, the commercialization of this high-tech invention is of great significance for the defense industry.

                                                     

 

University-Industry Collaboration in the Functional Food Sector!

The high fiber content of the functional breadstick helps keep digestive disorders and high cholesterol levels associated with heart disease in balance. In addition, its low glycemic index helps keep blood sugar regulation in balance.

Accordingly, once launched on the market, the Functional Breadstick will raise awareness among consumers as a healthy and convenient snack that prevents long periods of hunger, eliminates the problem of skipping meals and helps with weight control.
