YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 25, ARMENPRESS: The newly opened Armath Airborne engineering laboratory in Artsakh’s Martakert provides students above the age of 14 the opportunity to learn how to create and control civilian unmanned aerial vehicles. Armath Airborne is a project by The Union of Advanced Technology Enterprises in Armenia. Armath Airborne was previously launched in Stepanakert as well.

The lab was launched in cooperation with the association of advanced technology enterprises of Marseille, France.

Martakert department of education and culture director Davit Lalayan expressed conviction that children will be able to enhance their skills in advanced technologies thanks to the lab. Lalayan said that “skilled young people will swiftly gain more knowledge in engineering and will be able to create unmanned aerial vehicles through guidance of their teachers, perfect their skills and apply them in practice, have their own production and guard the borders from the skies of Martakert.”

“I am sure that the educational process will involve talented children who will swiftly master technological skills and will make the accurate professional determination. And by further enhancing their knowledge they will develop and become skilled experts that the economy needs. They will have an important role in science, will succeed in the defense area and contribute to the security of Artsakh,” said project leader Sedrak Vardanyan. He added that similar engineering schools will be opened in all towns and cities of the country soon.

The school in Martakert was inaugurated with test flights of UAVs with participation of the students, symbolizing their willingness to keep the skies peaceful and safe.
