UMT Driving Pakistan’s Defense & Tech Innovation

UMT stands tall at the forefront of educational institutions working in the strategic defense of Pakistan—specifically in Electronic Warfare, sensor fusion, and radar technologies. A shining example is Mr. Faran Awais Butt, who, while at UMT in 2015, secured Pakistan’s first-ever U.S. patent in Electronic Warfare, later dedicating it to the nation’s defense infrastructure.

Under the visionary guidance of the late Dr. Hasan Sohaib Murad, UMT became a launchpad for innovative research that extends well beyond classroom learning. Mr. Butt’s involvement as Principal Investigator on a NESCOM-funded project (2023–2024) further cements UMT’s standing as a trusted partner in defense-related R&D.

Due to UMT's robust research culture—acknowledged by federal awards such as the Young Leaders Development Award—the university continues to invest in cutting-edge fields such as AI, radar systems, and cyber-physical infrastructure. As President Ibrahim Murad says, “Institutions rise when their people commit to service beyond self. And nations rise when their universities become engines of truth, innovation, and transformation.”

Today, UMT alumni and faculty are making a global impact, with Mr. Butt currently at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) in Saudi Arabia, working on pioneering research in Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC). His path from UMT labs to the global arena is a testament to UMT's lasting legacy of excellence, patriotism, and innovation.
