2024 2E+I FORUM

GMV once again participated in the annual Spanish Army-Industry Forum (Foro 2E+I), leading in the  event held on 2 and 3 October in Toledo. The Forum is organized by the Army Museum Foundation and led by the Army, under the direction of the Army Logistics Support Command (MALE).

The theme of this edition was “Integrating new capabilities,” and the program of round-table discussions was rounded out by an exhibition area, both at the Army Museum (in Alcázar de Toledo, Spain), as well as a dynamic demonstration held at the Infantry Academy (Toledo, Spain).

José Luis Delgado, head of GMV’s Defense and Security SCIS section, participated in the first day in the round-table discussion on the dynamic demonstration to be held later that day and, during the second day, in the “Experimentation Plan” round-table discussion, which covered the role of experimentation in the development of military systems as a meeting point between the conceptual design phase and the practical implementation phase. Some examples discussed were the TALOS Command and Control system and the SISCAP (Dismounted Soldier System) project.

The dynamic demonstration was led by GMV and showcased the capacity of GMV’s command and control system, Argus, for managing manned and unmanned land, air, and maritime units and platforms at small-unit level.

The goals of this forum are to encourage ongoing collaboration and exchange of ideas between the Army, universities, research centers, and industry, to identify the needs of the Army and the lessons learned from BRIEX 2035 (Experimental Brigade 2035), while catalyzing to transmit these needs to industry and to present the Army’s current experimentation projects. Additionally, it aims to promote the Army Museum Foundation as an entity that supports culture and defense awareness.
