- The company provides an autopilot system for the MUT demonstrator of the advanced European program.
- SATNUS has relied on the company for the development of key technologies in unmanned aerial systems.
Madrid, 2 Oct, 2024. – UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía has announced that SATNUS (a company formed by GMV, Sener Aeroespacial and Tecnobit-Grupo Oesía) has collaborated with it in the ambitious European Future Combat Air System (FCAS) program.
The aim of this program is to develop a future-generation weapon system (NGWS), which will integrate a new-generation manned fighter (NGF) and multiple remote-controlled manned air systems (Remote Carriers or RC), all interconnected via a Combat Cloud (CC).
Within the FCAS program, UAV Navigation-Oesia Group participates in Pillar 3 Remote Operators through a subcontract with SATNUS Technologies S.L., which is in charge of maturing technologies and minimizing risks in the development of remotely manned elements of the future generation weapon system.
Airbus GmbH is leading this pillar at European level, with the participation of MBDA as lead company from France and SATNUS as lead company from Spain.
Within the framework of this project, UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía provides its autopilot for the Manned-Unmanned Teaming & Common Systems Demonstrator (MCSD).
This demonstrator, led by SATNUS, will allow the rapid development and testing of concepts and technologies, with a special focus on Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUT) functions and architecture during the Program’s technology demonstration phase 1B.
With its participation, UAV Navigation-Oesia Group will not only provide innovative technological solutions, but will also offer integral support in the technical development, integration and operation phase of the autopilot.
This support will be fundamental for the evolution and maturation of the technological capabilities of the Program, contributing to the compliance of the remotely piloted manned systems with the demanding requirements of this future combat air system.
