#TeamCSIR in action: WATCH: In March 2024, a South African Air Force #fastjet took to the skies near Cape Agulhas, carrying new, local tech that could help aircraft defend against attacks: https://lnkd.in/djAFVTgx    These flight tests were the culmination of work that began in 2019 when Armscor asked #TeamCSIR to assist local small business Sysdel CC with integrating their new pod with the Hawk aircraft. The #Acepod store integration is an example of how we support local SMMEs to grow into world-class #aerospace enterprises. More info in this CSIR #ScienceScope article: https://lnkd.in/dTr7kwmv

WATCH: Local #cannabis cosmetic business Green House Village is one of 23 #SMMEs that #TeamCSIR supported with cannabis product development: https://lnkd.in/d_C9iuyJ Our scientists make sure the products meet all regulations and safety standards. We assisted SMMEs to develop over 40 prototypes from #hemp and #dagga raw material. The #CBD-containing products include gummies, oil drops, sodas, water, hair oils, pain relief creams, shower gel, face wash and face oil.

It's fire season in the Western Cape, and Table Mountain authorities may soon call on firefighter #drones to detect and extinguish small fires in hard-to-reach places before they spread to the City of Cape Town.    #TeamCSIR exclusively licensed its K-Line fire sensor to a local #SMME: “AutonoSky specialises in extinguishing small-scale fires, but before partnering with us, they did not have the ability to detect, track and estimate the spread of small-scale fires,” says CSIR senior engineer Edwin Magidimisha.   Watch how the Autono1 drone can track and put out small fires in townships and mountains: https://lnkd.in/eKvTC7qe Read the full story in the latest edition of the CSIR #ScienceScope: https://lnkd.in/eix-Me3n

On Friday, 22 November 2024 #TeamCSIR gathered for the CSIR Excellence Awards as well as the recognition of newly promoted principal and chief researchers. We have come a long way over the past five years, and it is a result of everyone’s hard work and commitment to deliver on our mandate. Join us as we take this moment to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements and contributions of our EPIC colleagues!

#TeamCSIR developed a fungal protein product for local #SMME #MycoSure, which can be added to soups, shakes and other foods. With a strong focus on #biotechnology, #bioprocessing and #biomanufacturing, we help local SMMEs like MycoSure develop novel food, cosmetic, cleaning and healthcare products.
