GMV showcases its solutions for the soldier of the future and its in-vehicle navigation systems in Paris

As a key player in the European Union’s strategic and technological autonomy, GMV was present at the latest Eurosatory international exhibition, a major defense and security event held every two years, which brought the leading companies in the sector to Paris from 17 to 21 June. 

In the Spanish pavilion, GMV presented its pioneering solutions for the soldier of the future, its simulation systems, and its land vehicle navigation systems.

Specifically, GMV exhibited the main computer for the Spanish Army’s Foot-Soldier System (Sistema Combatiente a Pie: SISCAP). This system integrates command and control, battery power management, and signals from optronic sensors and the soldier’s visor. The company also presented the systems it has developed to enhance the soldier’s capabilities, such as the combatant charger (CBS), capable of charging up to three batteries simultaneously and powering the SISCAP system, and the LGB10/11 ruggedized minicomputers, designed for hostile environments where small size and low power consumption are required.

In the field of land vehicle navigation, GMV presented the ISNAV and ISNAV mini family of navigators. The capabilities of these navigators can be adapted to the mission and vehicle characteristics, offering advanced positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) capabilities and the possibility of integrating Galileo Public Regulated Service (PRS) capabilities. The two on display were the ISNAV navigator that will be fitted to the Spanish Army’s new DRAGON wheeled combat vehicle (VCR 8x8) and the ISNAV mini navigator, part of the upgrade to the ATP 109 artillery pieces. 

In the scope of the M109 and SIAC artillery upgrade programs, GMV also presented the SBT solution. This device is designed to interconnect elements regardless of their interface (Ethernet, UDP, unicast or multicast, TCP, RS422 and RS232 serial protocols, or Bluetooth), thus enabling connectivity to “legacy” systems that would otherwise require complex and costly integration. 

Finally, together with the above, GMV showed its full range of high-fidelity simulators and emulators for the L3HARRIS WESCAM MX™ series of EO/IR surveillance and location systems.

Among the distinguished visitors to GMV’s stand were the Secretary of State for Defense, María Amparo Valcarce; the Spanish Ambassador to France, Victorio Redondo Baldrich; and Lieutenant General Fernando Miguel García y García de las Hijas, Head of the Army Logistic Support Command. GMV also received visits from various delegations, including those from Singapore, the Netherlands, and Portugal.
