@NAVANTIA

GMV has been chosen by Navantia to supply the SENDA navigation system, as well as other equipment such as the data distribution system, for the new offshore patrol vessel (Buque de Acción Marítima, or BAM) being developed by Navantia, which will specialize in underwater intervention tasks (BAM-IS).

The SENDA System will be responsible for navigation based on military GNSS receivers (M-Code GPS and Galileo PRS). SENDA incorporates multi-constellation satellite navigation technology (GPS, Galileo) compatible with civilian and military signals, eLoran signals, and SBAS corrections. SENDA also combines its own GNSS data with data received from external sensors (inertial units, sliders, etc.), and includes state-of-the-art algorithms to provide robust navigation in contested GNSS scenarios.

In addition, SENDA will be responsible for generating the ship’s timing solution and distributing it to the systems that need it. Not only is SENDA’s timing solution spoofing-free, it is also highly stable, incorporating a rubidium oscillator that allows very low drifts to be maintained for long periods of time.

The SENDA system is part of GMV’s range of navigation products for the military sector and positions GMV as a leading Spanish company for navigation systems, with proven experience in the aeronautics, land, and naval sectors on platforms such as the SIRTAP unmanned aircraft, the 8x8 Dragon vehicle, and the F-110 frigates.

BAM-IS vessel

The BAM-IS vessel will be the natural replacement for the “Neptune” rescue vessel. It is designed to be a specialized platform equipped for submarine rescue support, as well as the navy’s main unit for supporting diving operations, with a range of approximately 2,400 nautical miles.

With a length of 91 meters and a crew of 60 people, the new BAM-IS will be capable of carrying a rescue mini-submarine and performing underwater explorations and interventions with remotely operated vehicles up to 3,000 meters deep.

In addition, BAM-IS will be the first Navy ship with MOSHIP certification to act as a mother ship for NATO and U.S. submarine rescue systems (NSRS and SRDRS, respectively).
