The Spanish Army evaluates the integration of Seeker with the Talos system and Dual-EIMOS

GMV, Rheinmetall and Aurea Avionics participated in a series of operational trials with the Paratrooper Brigade (BRIPAC) on 10 April at the “Príncipe” Base in Paracuellos del Jarama (Madrid).

The objective of these trials was to evaluate the integration of the Seeker UAV system into an already operational architecture based on GMV’s Talos artillery command and control system and Rheinmetall’s Dual-EIMOS mounted mortar system. Dual-EIMOS has been developed by Rheinmetall’s subsidiary Rheinmetall Expal Munitions.

Seeker is a tactical, rapidly deployable unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) , developed by Aurea Avionics and supplied by GMV, providing intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities. The system is one of the most effective unmanned aerial systems on the market, with an endurance of 120 minutes, a range of 15 km and a weight of 3.6 kg. This system enhances the operational capabilities of the Armed Forces by providing critical real-time information to support decision-making and ensure tactical superiority on the battlefield.

The activities were carried out within the framework of collaboration between the three companies, resulting in a joint solution that enables the integration of ISR sensors with fire support systems, while ensuring interoperability between platforms.

During the trials, different functionalities related to the integration were evaluated, including the definition of observation areas for the Seeker system, coordination with fire missions, the acquisition of georeferenced imagery; and the tracking of the DUAL-EIMOS system, all of these enabled through the exchange of information with the Talos system.

The trials were conducted under representative operational conditions, allowing BRIPAC operators to interact directly with the system and assess its performance in a real environment.

The integration of Seeker within the Talos–Dual-EIMOS ecosystem represents progress in the connection between sensors, effectors and command and control systems, by facilitating more agile information exchange and more effective coordination between system elements.

These activities consolidate the collaboration between GMV, Rheinmetall and Aurea Avionics in the development of advanced solutions in the field of defence.
