Strata delivers first UAE-designed radar panel to Thales
Strata led the entire process-from design and development to manufacturing and final testing-meeting Thales' stringent requirements. Strata Manufacturing, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mubadala Investment Company and a key player in the UAE's advanced manufacturing sector, has achieved a major engineering breakthrough with the design and production of the Initial UHF Project (IUP) radar antenna panel. Developed at Stratas Al Ain facility, the panel has now been delivered and approved by Thales Emarat Technologies. The project, part of the Tawazun Economic Programme and backed by Tawazun Council, highlights the UAEs strategic push to enhance local industrial capabilities in defence and high-tech sectors. The newly delivered antenna panel represents Stratas first fully in-house designed and manufactured radar component, showcasing the firm's growing expertise beyond its established focus on composite materials and carbon fibre used in aerospace and satellite applications. Thales Emarat Technologies, a UAE-based subsidiary of Thales, partnered with Strata under the offset initiative to localise production and reinforce national sovereignty in advanced technologies. This collaboration is part of Thales' broader regional strategy, supported by Tawazun Council, to elevate UAE's industrial base. On this occasion, Sara Al Memari, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Strata Manufacturing, commented: 'Our trust in Strata's talented teams and the exceptional capabilities of our engineers has enabled us to contribute significantly by designing the IUP radar antenna panel for Thales Emarat Technologies, becoming the first to leave our mark on this advanced global product. This accomplishment reflects the UAE's ambition to hold a prominent global position, leveraging its growing creative and technical capabilities as we continue our journey in shaping the future.' Sara also extended her gratitude to the project team at Strata, whose engineers and specialists worked across various disciplines to leave a proud Emirati mark in the field of advanced radar and satellite manufacturing. She added: 'It is with immense pride that the radar antenna panel, designed for Thales, bears the Strata Manufacturing emblem.'

IUP, Penn Highlands net $1.8M in dual credit grants
HARRISBURG, Pa. – Two regional post-secondary institutions have earned a combined $1.8 million in dual credit innovation grants from the Pennsylvania Department of Education to allow more high school learners to enter dual enrollment programs. Gov. Josh Shapiro's office announced Monday that Pennsylvania Highlands Community College was awarded $1 million and Indiana University of Pennsylvania was allotted $808,454.13. The schools were two of 15 public insinuations across the commonwealth to split a total of $14 million in funding. 'We are thrilled to receive the 2025 Dual Credit Innovation Grant, which will significantly enhance our ability to provide high-quality, affordable dual enrollment opportunities to deserving high school students in the rural communities we serve,' Penn Highlands President Steve Nunez said. 'This grant underscores our commitment to educational excellence, the support to our communities, and our dedication to supporting the academic success of our students.' According to Pennsylvania Department of Education, dual credit programs improve the outcomes of high school students by providing them college courses that enhance academic achievement, graduation rates and college completion rates. Dual enrollment courses are offered at a discount rate for high school students and are taught by college and university staff. 'IUP is fully committed providing all of our students with high-quality education at an affordable price,' IUP President Michael Driscoll said. 'Dual enrollment allows talented high school students to get a head start on their college degree by enrolling in college courses at a reduced price. This grant, combined with our action to significantly reduce the cost of dual enrollment for students starting in the fall 2024 semester, provides new opportunities to students who want to pursue coursework, including at high schools serving populations of underserved students.' Driscoll congratulated Meigan Robb, from the department of nursing, and Lei Hao, from the department of allied and public health, who wrote the application for these funds. Pennsylvania Department of Education acting Secretary Carrie Rowe said in a release that the state's goal with these grants is to encourage more young people, especially from historically underrepresented communities, to access courses that will lead to careers and credentials the workforce needs. 'It's about expanding opportunity and creating pathways to a future they choose,' she said. Joshua Byers is a reporter for The Tribune-Democrat. He can be reached at 814-532-5054.
