Together with CENTUM research & technology, GMV will be providing the Rozas Airport Research Center (CIAR) with a system that can ensure that unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be operated continuously and securely

The CIAR is the testing infrastructure created under the Civil UAVs Initiative led by Galicia’s regional government, with the purpose of advancing UAV technologies for civilian use

The Civil UAVs Initiative was developed as a way to address the new challenges arising in relation to use of unmanned vehicles, such as managing responses to urgent healthcare situations and other emergencies, sustainable management of forest and marine resources, prevention and suppression of wildfires, biodiversity observation and monitoring, and developing new forms of mobility 

This acquisition agreement represents a new stage in the growth path of this startup, which is dedicated to manufacturing small satellites

Alén Space will benefit from the support of an established global group that will drive its future growth

The multinational tech firm GMV reaffirms its commitment to the New Space, and consolidates its position as a global leader in the space industry
