SATNUS (a company formed by GMV, Sener Aeroespacial, and Tecnobit-Grupo Oesía), is working with UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía to collaborate in the European program Future Combat Air System (FCAS).
This program aims to develop a future-generation weapon system (NGWS), which will integrate a new generation of manned fighters (NGF) and multiple remotely piloted air systems (Remote Carriers or RC), all interconnected through a Combat Cloud (CC).
In the framework of this project, UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía provides its advanced 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 phase 1B of the program’s technology demonstration.
Through its involvement, UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía will deliver innovative technological solutions and comprehensive support during the technical development, integration, and operational phases of the autopilot system.
This support is expected to be crucial for advancing and enhancing the program’s technological capabilities, ensuring that the remotely piloted manned systems meet the stringent requirements of the FCAS.
Within the FCAS program, UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía participates in Pillar number 3 of Remote Operators through a subcontract with SATNUS Technologies SL, which is in charge of maturing technologies and minimizing risks in the development of remotely manned elements of the NGWS.
Airbus GmbH is leading this pillar at the European level, with the participation of MBDA as the lead company from France, and SATNUS as the lead company from Spain.
