T4i engineering: The winner of the 2023 European Commission Security Innovation Award
Brussels, 24th October 2023

T4i engineering received the European Commission (EC) Security Innovation Award for their product, T4i DOVER®, in a special ceremony in Brussels on 24^th of October 2023. The award recognizes innovative solutions stemming from EU funded security research that have achieved significant success in market uptake of research results.

T4i DOVER®is an advanced chemical detector developed by the R&D team of T4i engineering, specifically designed for use as a drone payload. It provides reliable chemical detection during UAV flight by addressing challenges related to speed and sudden changes of altitude, temperature and humidity affecting the detection performance. The detector combines orthogonal sensors for reducing false alarms and increasing situational awareness. T4i DOVER®uses the in-house developed Symbiotic Engine Software to seamlessly transmit chemical measurements and images to a Ground Control Station and a C&C center  for remote mapping and screening contaminated areas or locating sources of chemical emissions (see video).  

The 2023 European Commission (EC) Security Innovation Award recognizes great examples of security research uptake and highlights the contribution of EU funded research to enhancing the civil security (see the official EC announcement).

T4i engineering is a technology company that uses advanced design tools and prototyping, carries out material research and develops firmware and software to automate and simplify the use of technology. The company is located in Athens, Greece and Loughborough, UK. T4i engineering consists of a highly skilled team of engineers, chemists, electronics engineers and computer scientists with the mission of providing high performance and efficiency chemical detectors for security, safety and environmental applications.
