ALSA, Spain’s leading road passenger transport operator, in a joint venture with the local firm CITYBUS TRANSPORT, has been awarded the concession for running Rabat’s urban transport service

GMV has been chosen for supplying the fare-collection, fleet-management and passenger-information systems

GMV’s smart systems will be set up in an initial 350-vehicle fleet to be enlarged to 500 over the coming years

The consortium made up by GMV, VVA and FADA-CATEC will lead Galileo and EGNOS services for operations with uncrewed aircraft (RPASs, UAVs and drones)

The purpose of the tests was to gauge the potential drone performance of European navigation systems (Galileo and EGNOS) for air traffic management and for typical applications in various environments

The trials show that Galileo comes up with a better response than America’s GPS and also that EGNOS’s corrections improve GPS accuracy down to less than one meter

The three trials

Conclusions of the tests carried out

GMV has won the competition and subsequent contract for the Coalition Shared Data (CSD) Services Enduring Solution project, which upgrades the MAJIIC2 program results to an operational state

The aim of CSD is to maximize the use and interchange of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) resources by NATO member states

TUSSAM turns to GMV for the rollout of a new onboard video-surveillance system for its 410-bus fleet

With this new project Seville renews its trust in GMV as supplier of its onboard video-surveillance systems after the recent purchase of the counterpart railway system for Metro de Sevilla

GMV’s business in onboard intelligent-transportation-system video-surveillance systems is booming; in 2019 it will be setting up its inhouse solutions in several rolling-stock manufacturers and operators in both the railway- and road-transport sectors

GMV has developed for the Spanish MoD the ground segment systems (CSD-SIERRA) for capturing, storing and distributing information from the unmanned aerial vehicles MQ-9 Predator B

The Spanish airforce is preparing to receive in 2019 the first of the four long-range drones bought in 2015 from General Atomics

The MQ-9 Predator B will support missions within the national territory, such as strategic monitoring in the areas of intelligence, surveillance and maritime security or defense, aerial operations, humanitarian crises, border control and surveillance, firefighting or the fight against terrorism

During validation tests of the ERGO system GMV pulls off for the very first time a 1.4-km autonomous traverse with the TT SHERPA rover

After being put through its paces in three environments (orbital, planetary and nuclear) ESROCOS represents a huge advanced in the use of open-source software in critical applications for robots

The successful results of the ERGO and ESROCOS projects, both being led by GMV as part of the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 Space Robotics Technologies Strategic Research Cluster (SRC), mark the end of the first part of the program

With the overall aim of improving C4ISR performance at EU level, GMV will be conducting a study involving the application of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence techniques to defense decision-making

The ESA led HERACLES robotic mission, scheduled for launch in 2026, represents the first step in the return of humans to the moon

Its remit is to test technologies in preparation for the future arrival of astronauts, by taking a rover to the moon that collects samples and scouts the terrain, as well as an ESA built spacecraft that returns these samples to the lunar Gateway

HERACLES represents a great technological space-exploration challenge for Europe and will pave the way for future missions to the moon and the planets

The mission’s goal is to retrieve Martian soil samples, store them and bring them back to the Earth for analysis

Running from 2020 to 2030 the mission will involve at least three launches from Earth and one more liftoff from the red planet itself

GMV is contributing to key activities within the Earth Return Orbiter module and the Sampling Fetching Rover (SFR)

Seville Metro turns to GMV for rolling out the new video surveillance system for its 21-train fleet

GMV looks to the market of onboard video-surveillance systems for intelligent transportation systems in 2019, when it will be setting up its inhouse solutions in various rolling-stock operators and manufacturers, both in road and rail transport

Transports Ciutat Comtal (TCC) turns to GMV for rollout of new fleet-management, passenger-information and fare-collection systems with EMV technology for Pamplona city and 17 surrounding municipalities

This is a trailblazing project in Spain, combining state-of-the-art solutions that enable smartcard and cellphone payment
