GMV participates in CISD plenary meeting held in Asturias, Spain

On February 17th, the Committee for Defense Industries and Services (CISD) held a plenary meeting at the facilities of General Dynamics European Land Systems (GDELS-SBS), which are located in the town of Trubia in the Spanish region of Asturias. This event brought together some of the country’s most important participants in the area of national defense.

For the members of the committee, the meeting provided opportunities for sharing knowledge and networking, as a key gathering for the Spanish Ministry of Defense’s Directorate General of Weapons and Material (DGAM), the Defense Armaments and Materials Industries (IAMD), and other parties involved with the PECAL/AQAP auditing and certification system.

Some of the matters addressed during the meeting included updated information from the Ministry of Defense, follow-up procedures for the Working Groups on Software Quality and PECAL Non-Conformities, and a review of upcoming activities. 

As part of the meeting’s agenda, the attendees were also given a tour of the GDELS‑SBS facilities, where the 8x8 Dragón vehicle is being produced. This is a strategic program for the Spanish armed forces, with GMV participating as the supplier of the ISNAV navigation system.

GMV was represented at the meeting by Manuel A. Lea, Assistant Manager of its Quality and RAMS department, who was able to reaffirm his company’s commitment to the latest quality standards and some key programs for the defense industry, while also reinforcing GMV’s ongoing role as a leading supplier of defense software development and maintenance services.
