GMV has participated in the latest edition of the Paris Air Show, which was held from June 16th to 22nd at the Paris‑Le Bourget Airport. The company attended as part of the Spanish pavilion organized by the association TEDAE, with support from the Spanish Institute for Foreign Trade (ICEX) and the Spanish Ministry of Defense; Ministry of the Economy, Trade and Enterprise; Ministry of Industry and Tourism; and Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities.

GMV’s presence at this flagship international event helped further reinforce its position as a top supplier of advanced solutions in the fields of defense, aeronautics, and navigation. At its own stand in the pavilion, the company was able to showcase some of its technological innovations, which have been developed to meet the most demanding requirements of today’s operating environments.

GMV demonstrated its capabilities for developing critical onboard systems for the aeronautics industry, including its navigation and landing assistance system for the SIRTAP unmanned aircraft, plus critical DAL‑A level equipment such as the Ground Flight Control Computer for the EUROMALE system and the Flight Control Computer (FCC) and Automatic Take-Off and Landing (ATOL) station for the ATLANTE remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS).

Some of the other solutions presented by GMV at its stand included the ISNAV Micro, which is an advanced navigation and synchronization system for military vehicles that provides precise positioning, speed, and time data, and NERVA, a solution designed to operate with unmanned aerial platforms in GNSS-denied environments, intended for integration into the SIRTAP system. GMV also gave the show’s attendees a look at CRANE, which is the crane control unit for the A400M aircraft’s loading system, along with its high-precision simulator for the L3Harris WESCAM MX™ cameras, as a key training tool for tactical observation capabilities.

The event also featured the official signing act for development of the initial phase of Q‑Design, which is a project of the European Space Agency (ESA) led by Hispasat with collaboration by GMV. This is the world’s first project designed to integrate quantum key distribution (QKD) via geostationary and low-orbit satellites, supported by the corresponding ground infrastructure. GMV also took the opportunity to ratify the Statement for a Responsible Space Sector, which is an ESA initiative launched in 2022 with the aim of providing a basis for sustainable development of the space industry.

On Thursday, GMV’s Deputy General Manager for Space Systems, Miguel Ángel Molina, participated in a panel discussion at the Paris Space Hub, which was the site of an entire program of discussions taking place during the five-day event. His session was focused on science and the role of European industry in space exploration missions.
