GMV completes validation of C2SG system for unmanned platforms at CENAD

GMV has successfully completed the development, delivery, and validation of a new integrated command and control system for unmanned platforms at the San Gregorio National Training Center (CENAD) in Zaragoza.

The project is part of CENAD’s technology modernization initiative, which is adding advanced capabilities to its private 5G standalone (5G SA) infrastructure under the Sectoral 5G component of the UNICO Program and Spain’s Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.

The solution developed by GMV enables centralized, coordinated management of different types of unmanned platforms and a wide range of sensors. It also provides capabilities for mission planning and monitoring, platform control, video and sensor data exploitation, and operational situation visualization.

The system features a modular, scalable architecture based on open standards, facilitating the future integration of new platforms and capabilities. It also relies on artificial intelligence technologies for image and video processing, detection and tracking of elements of interest, and decision support.

Interoperability is another key feature of the system, which incorporates NATO standards for information exchange; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) products; and unmanned platform control. The system also includes operator workstations, deployable ground stations, and mobile devices, all connected through CENAD’s 5G network.

The successful completion of validation testing at San Gregorio brings the project to a close and demonstrates the solution’s ability to integrate 5G communications, command and control, autonomy, artificial intelligence, and interoperability in an operational environment.

The project further expands GMV’s experience in developing command and control systems for the coordinated operation of unmanned platforms.
