GENIUS brings together 18 European entities to tackle critical challenges posed by Improvised Explosive Devices, Unexploded Ordnance, and landmines

 GMV will lead the design of the C2 command and control system, integrating unmanned platforms, sensors, effectors, and infantry systems

GENIUS is one of eight projects awarded to GMV in the latest European Defence Fund tenders

The SIRTAP remotely piloted aircraft is designed for advanced intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions of the Army and the Air and Space Forces

It has consolidated GMV's position as a national leader in the development of navigation systems for defense systems

In addition to developing the navigation system, GMV will also develop the front-view camera used for taxiing, takeoff and landing operations

With this operation, GMV integrates a key niche technology that expands its portfolio of technological solutions in defense and security

GMV further enhances its technological capabilities in the security sector, generating synergies and reinforcing its leadership in other key areas of its activities such as space, cybersecurity, and intelligent transportation systems

Cross-domain technologies are absolutely essential for the secure exchange of information and are expected to experience a significant increase in demand worldwide in the coming years

The company is participating in eight 2023 European Defence Fund (EDF) projects, securing its place in the group of European companies with the highest number of contracts

It has been awarded a total of 36 projects between EDIDP and EDF, representing a European Commission contribution of nearly 350 million euros

The projects are focused on the development of the capabilities of force protection systems, mission systems, aviation, command and control, space surveillance, navigation, and secure communications

Of the projects GMV was awarded following the European Defence Fund (EDF) 2022 call for proposals, CONVOY focuses on the detection of improvised explosive devices, using drones and unmanned ground vehicles deployed with various types of sensors, and applying artificial intelligence and cloud technology

The initiative, funded by the European Union and in particular by the European Defence Fund, has an estimated budget of €4,986,989.50

CONVOY participants include leading companies and organizations, committed to enhancing safety and security in critical environments by applying cutting-edge technology

The company has been awarded six projects in the second call of the EDF (European Defence Fund) program

The six projects awarded to GMV, one of them as leader, total 203 million euros and account for 24% of the budget allocated for the 2022 funds

These projects focus on developing capabilities in anti-missile early warning systems, avionics, command and control, unmanned systems, navigation and the use of artificial intelligence in various fields

The program’s objective is to increase the European Union’s defensive capabilities and strategic autonomy

During this event, an analysis was performed regarding the capabilities achieved during the 30-month project

Government satellite operator Hisdesat has awarded GMV the ground segment project for the two new satellites of the SPAINSAT NG program, to be located in Madrid

The project awarded to GMV includes cutting-edge innovations in the development and deployment of satellite control centers: communications security, satellite control system, satellite payload control system, satellite tracking and localization, as well as data reception

The contract, which launches the next phase of the NGWS/FCAS program, was awarded on 15 December

Formed by GMV, Sener Aeroespacial, and Tecnobit-Grupo Oesía, SATNUS Technologies SL is leading all the activities of the Remote Carrier Technology Pillar for the Next Generation Weapons System (NGWS) in the Future Combat Air System (FCAS)

The phase that is about to start will cover 36 months of activities and exceed €3 billion

The company will develop a critical system (DAL-A) to manage all the flight commands from the DUO (Designated UAS Operator) to be sent to the UAS

GMV will provide AIRBUS with a reliable safety critical computer to command and control the Eurodrone Unmanned Aerial System (UAS)

GMV won seven projects in the first EDF call, bringing the total number of EDIDP and EDF projects it is involved in to 19

The seven projects that GMV is taking part in amount to a European Commission contribution of nearly €350 million, topping up the more than €200 million in projects from the two previous EDIDP calls

The awarded projects will focus on developing missile defense system capabilities, systems for dismounted soldiers, avionics, command and control, navigation, and cyberdefense

The company is set to supply 240 ISNAV units to Spanish Army contractor Tess Defence

This is GMV’s advanced navigation and timing solution for ground systems, providing positioning information on armored vehicles with or without GNSS signals
