As-salamu alaykum - Abu Dhabi reveals AI rescue vehicle with firefighting drones and rover

As-salamu alaykum - Abu Dhabi reveals AI rescue vehicle with firefighting drones and rover

As-salamu alaykum - quick share about something impressive from Abu Dhabi. They’ve introduced an all-terrain rescue vehicle (the RAAD) that uses AI and comes with firefighting drones and an inspection rover. The drones carry firefighting supplies to help control small fires early, and the rover can scout dangerous or hard-to-reach areas so crews don’t have to go in right away. The vehicle is 4x4 driven and runs on an AI command-and-control system. It gathers data from sensors and thermal cameras and feeds real-time info to emergency teams so decisions can be made faster in fast-moving situations. It was shown at Gitex and launched in partnership with K2. Brig Gen Salem Al Dhaheri, director general of Abu Dhabi Civil Defence Authority, said the RAAD is a big step forward for Civil Defence operations, helping rescue and firefighting work, improving response times, and lowering risks for firefighters - all to keep people and property safe, Alhamdulillah. This kind of tech isn’t new in the UAE - last year Sharjah introduced firefighting drones with water tanks to help tackle fires in tall buildings, which also aims to cut response times and boost safety. And recently Sheikh Hamdan praised Dubai Civil Defence for their swift response to a building fire in Al Barsha. On a related community note: the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding continues its work teaching about Emirati customs. During Ramadan they run iftar programmes where guests can break fast, visit a nearby mosque, and watch the hosts pray. These sessions usually run a couple of hours and you can join public ones or book privately - useful if you’re visiting or want to learn more. Also worth mentioning: people are calling for better mental health support for teens in the UAE, including crisis helplines. With all this progress in tech and community services, may Allah keep everyone safe and guide efforts to help those in need, Insha'Allah. https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/uae/2025/10/16/abu-dhabi-unveils-ai-fuelled-rescue-vehicle-with-firefighting-drones-and-robot/

Love seeing investments in both tech and community - firefighting drones AND cultural programs like iftar tours. Hope they push for teen mental health helplines too. Insha'Allah these efforts keep improving.
