he Spanish Defence and Security industry is a strategic
sector that has known how to see its way around the
contraction of the domestic market by boosting exports
and taking companies global. SPAIN Defence & Security
Industry 2015, now in its third edition, has become a
valuable instrument for sector businesses as they
strive to grow and carve a name for themselves abroad,
showing how Spain is today a ‘Partner Committed to
Excellence’.
The development of our Defence and Security industry,
driven by the large-scale Special Armament Programmes
of the 1980s and 90s, has successfully applied the
lessons learnt to become, for some years now, a
developer of advanced technologies, exporting excellent
systems and associated services in all spheres of
the sector.
SPAIN Defence & Security Industry 2015, with the support
of the Ministry Defence, Marca España and sector
associations, takes an in-depth look at latest-generation
developments in the country, the weight of RDI in Spanish
business, Defence and Security’s demanding quality levels
and its orientation towards international markets.
This unique document is an exhaustive showcase
of Spain’s industrial capacities, featuring a complete
directory of both major corporations and SMEs that
compete at the highest level in tender processes in the
European Union, Latin America, the Middle East, Asia,
Africa and even on the mighty North American market.
SPAIN Defence & Security Industry 2015, published by
IDS, is printed in English and Spanish and distributed
to commercial and defence attaché offices across the
world. The digital version is available at the Infodefensa.com
and Infoespacial.com portals to further complete the
information described in different formats (pageflips and
pdfs) so it can be better managed and promoted. The
websites dedicated to this publication are home to the
most up-to-date news and opinion pieces on the Defence
and Security sector.
The digital version of the Business Directory will be rolled
out over the year with news releases and documents on
the featured companies to provide the latest information
on the challenges facing businesses over the next
year. It is an eminently useful tool for the industry and
for decision-makers in different Defence and Security
administrations around the world.
It is also the document that heads up annual publications
specifically addressing the major Acquisitions, Tenders,
Defence and Security Budget Programmes in Spain, the
digital versions of which will be available over the SPAIN
Defence & Security Industry 2015 website, among other
means.
IDS presents this comprehensive communication tool to
respond to the strict demands of the national Defence
and Security industrial network, a net export sector of
advanced technologies which has had, in the Spanish
Armed Forces’ international missions, one of the most
important showcases of its ability to provide top-quality
systems and on-the-ground responses, and those
related to overhaul and other services. In both cases, it
is the outcome of a major effort in RDI investment, an
indisputable part of the industry’s DNA in Spain.

A strategic pillar
t
Pedro de Morenés y Álvarez de Eulate
Defence Minister
he world today is constantly proving to us that Defence
is a fundamental pillar of any stable, prosperous society
that seeks to develop in peace and freedom. At the same
time as modern society is continuously and unrelentingly
making progress in areas such as the Internet, new
technologies and the way we communicate, so too have
the enemies of our freedom been evolving, using the
same advances we have made to attack us and further
radicalise their ideology and its implementation.
These days wars are fought in geographic areas and
virtual terrains alike. And to fight in both we need to
evolve, to increase our capacities and to go into the
future one step ahead of those who want to snatch it
away from us.
Faced with this panorama, in which the globalisation of
good is unfailingly followed by a multifaceted threat that
is hard to confront, Defence and the technological and
industrial development associated with it are of vital
importance. Continuous research and the development
of new technologies that enable us to stand up to threats
and the challenge of more flexible and cleverer Armed
Forces which can adapt to a reality that is changing at
breakneck speed are both an exciting challenge and a
central priority.
The Spanish Defence industry is a strategic sector whose
capacity for development and continuous innovation
is increasingly impacting basic concepts of Security and
the abilities and planning of the Armed Forces. A strong
industry is a plus for Defence and makes it a reference
point for research and development.
An industry that creates synergies to deliver on common
goals makes Spain a more modern and advanced
country. In the same way, progress in military technology
is transferred to civil technology in a way that often goes
unnoticed but has a significant influence on people’s
daily lives.
Supporting the Spanish Defence industry not only backs
a strategic sector, it also supports a highly qualified type
of employment in RDI. Initiatives like the one before us
here are a further incentive for the sector and for those
of us who have a political responsibility to it.
That is the case for those of us with a political
responsibility in the field of Security and those who work
in the industry. It is a challenge that calls on us to reinvent
ourselves, to continually aspire to more and to join forces
in a common effort to make Defence a benchmark
industry and driving force, an insurance policy for our
welfare state.

Towards a centralised
management model
t
he Secretariat of State for Defence, and more particularly the
Directorate General of Armaments and Material (DGAM), is
immersed in a process of implementing a new management
model as a result of the centralisation of the procurement and
modernisation programmes and those designed to deliver on
common sustainability, now and in the future.
For the first time since the Ministry of Defence (MoD) was
created, a unique and specialised organisation dedicated to the
acquisition of armaments and material is being consolidated,
which involves a seachange in the model of obtaining the
systems our Armed Forces need.
The Directorate has opted for a new procurements model
which more clearly separates what has been called the ‘three
domains’ or spheres of power:
• The domain of the need of the client or end user of weapons
systems established by the Armed Forces.
• The domain of the solution and acquisition of said systems and
which competes with the Directorate General of Armaments
and Material throughout the procurement process.
• The domain of development and production, which is in the
hands of industry.
The transformation has consisted of moving from a model of
‘centralised management and decentralised execution’ in the
procurement process to one that is fully centralised, where all
aspects of programme management are planned, led, executed,
coordinated and controlled by the DGAM and where the
Armed Forces continue to be responsible for defining the
operating requirements as users.
The 2005 Organic Law on National Defence established
the mandate of organising the acquisition of resources in a

García Montaño

centralised fashion, with MoD senior bodies and managers
responsible for obtaining and managing the necessary material
resources.
Later, in July 2012, the president of the government set out,
in the National Defence Directive (DDN), the guidelines for
rethinking the design of the structure of the Armed Forces
to boost efficacy in every aspect relating to the management,
acquisition and use of resources. In October of the same
year, the Ministry of Defence indicated, in the Defence Policy
Directive (DPD), the need to review the system for contracting
and acquiring armaments and material as one of the targets
to be delivered on in order to simplify the organisation of the
Armed Forces and rationalise the Department’s structures.
Recently, in March 2014, the Secretary of State for Defence
agreed, in SEDEF Resolution 320/03967/2014, to centralise
certain armaments and material programmes and its
Programme Offices at the Secretariat of State, specifying that
management and contracting be transferred to the DGAM.
But it was not only the legal aspects which made it
recommendable to delimit specific responsibilities in the matter
of armaments and material programmes, but also important
reasons of an organisational, efficiency and efficacy nature.
Centralised management is a model whose efficacy and
efficiency are supported by the fact they have been successfully
adopted in other ally countries around us. In our specific case,
at no time did we try to replicate other existing models, but
rather sought one we considered most suitable to our needs,
possibilities and specific capacity requirements and which was in
line with the volume of programmes we have to manage.
The new unique and specialised organisation will make it
possible to implement a common management doctrine based
on standardised procedures and methodologies that will lead
to better coordination and comprehensive and consistent
programme management, seeking a more efficient way to reach
targets and enhance efficiency and efficacy in their tracking and
control, without the domain of ‘the need’ interfering with the
domain of ‘the solution’ and maintaining the user as part of the
process, taking advantage of all of the user’s capabilities.
With the concentration of responsibilities, we aim to carry out
a more effective exercise of powers, as it is an organisational
model based on ‘model processes’ rather than ‘types of
resources’, with greater agility and uniformity in decision-making
and increased reinforcement of the figure of the ‘sole client’ of
the Ministry of Defence as an entity.
The DDN classifies the Spanish defence industry as an “ideal
supplier of the needs of our Armed Forces”. In this respect,
acquisition programmes are the most important instrument the
defence industry’s industrial policy has, as they shape market
demand and boost economic activity and the development of
industrial and technological capabilities that can satisfy internal
market and export market needs.
One important aspect is the challenges facing businesses in the
defence sector. There is no shortage of them and their influence
on national growth is just as significant. There are approximately
580 companies listed in the DGAM’s Business’s Register, of
which around 79% are SMEs; companies that produce more
than 22,000 direct jobs and which can invoice some 5 billion
euros. They have a significant technological content which,
generally speaking, is used by highly qualified personnel.
The gradual implementation of a centralised management
model for procuring armament and material resources will
ensure that the Ministry becomes the single interlocutor
with defence companies, facilitating two-way communication
whereby they receive a single, clear message from the public
authorities and in which the challenges the businesses face,
their specific problems and their need for institutional support
are just some of the aspects that are better understood by the
people responsible for procurement at the MoD.
On this point, it is also necessary to mention the work related
to the need to comply with additional provision 9 of the Public
Sector Contracts Act in the fields of defence and security
(transposition of the Community Directive) which has led us to
define the Strategic Industrial Capabilities in the Defence Sector,
and to know which industrial entities have the abovementioned
capabilities: these studies will soon be completed and then
approved by the Council of Ministers and subsequently
published.
instrument for executing Government to Government (GtG)
Agreements, whether in supporting the export of national
systems or in the sale of excess material.
In short, a new model which will make it possible to standardise
processes, shorten the decision-making chain and better
define responsibilities, enabling us to have a more global vision
of programme management and control. It will also facilitate
the unity of doctrine and criteria, which will make it possible
to better advance towards a common vocabulary and single
procedures.
With regard to human resources, it will make it possible to
implement new common strategies and methodologies and
secure better management of the organisation’s specialisation
and knowledge, enabling the definition of a new organisational

culture focused on programme management. It will also be
necessary to look more profoundly at training personnel as the
only way to deliver on the abovementioned specialisation in
top-level logistics sectors, the financial management of complex
programmes and the engineering of specific systems associated
with them.
Centralising programmes and defining strategic defence
industrial capabilities, as well as institutional support and the
fostering of R&D, will enable us to have the elements we need
to be able to enact a Spanish Defence Industry Strategy that
guides sector businesses, when the MoD so sanctions, and,
more importantly, to ensure that the Armed Forces have the
weapons systems they need and have asked for, establishing the
corresponding requirements.
The international sphere is where the centralisation of
programme management will become an effective and flexible

T
he Defence Attaché’s Office to the Embassy of Spain in Washington, in collaboration with the General
Directorate for Armament and Materiel of the Ministry of Defence, has organized a new gathering of
Spanish companies with the goal of presenting their solutions, products and services to the Pentagon.
“The number of companies that have shown interest in this second edition has grown significantly, since they
think it very interesting to participate given the chosen format. This kind of meetings is very important for the
companies to make themselves known before the U. S. authorities of the Office of Acquisition, Technology and
Logistics”, said in the Attaché’s Office.
“For the Defence Cooperation Attaché’s Office in Washington, DC, it is also very useful to rely on a publication
like SPAIN Defence & Security Industry since it shows the capabilities of the Spanish industry and its potential
in other markets, and it is specially appreciated by the Comparative Technology Office and by the National
Defense Industrial Association. Defense Attachés from other countries accredited in the U. S. capital city have
also shown their interest”.
The Defence Cooperation Attaché’s Office, part of the Defence Attache´s Office to the Embassy of Spain in
the U. S. capital city, has received fifteen requests from companies representing several areas of defence in order
to take advantage of this most useful opportunity. Among the interested companies are CESA, CT Ingenieros,
DAS Photonics, Everis, EXPAL, Indra, EINSA, INSTALAZA, NADS, Navantia, Piedrafita, Proytecsa Security, SAES,
SENER and Tecnobit.
In order to facilitate and coordinate the relations between the Spanish companies and the Pentagon, the
Defence Cooperation Attaché’s Office has organized for the second consecutive year a joint session during
which said companies will be able to make a general presentation to personnel of the ComparativeTechnology
Office, followed by personalized meetings with members of the Office of the Secretary of Defence (Acquisition,
Technology and Logistics), USAF, Army, Marine Corps, Navy and U. S. Special Operations Command.

«The Defence and
Security industries
project an innovative,
modern image of the
Spain Brand»
t
he development of state-of-the-art technologies linked to the
Defence and Security sector has now become the “spearhead
for the Spain Brand” -indicates Carlos Espinosa de los Monteros,
Government High Commissioner of this institution- “to
disseminate a more modern and innovative image of our country”.
Hence, the Spain Brand highlights the “extraordinary work of
Spanish Defence and Security companies”, the results of which
are ensuring the “signing of extremely important contracts with
countries around the world”, thus strengthening the image of
Spain “as an exporter of innovation”. Nowadays, “entering foreign
markets is no longer an option but more an obligation”, explains
Espinosa de los Monteros.
What role does the Defence and Security industry play in the
Spain Brand?
The international success of this industry involves associating
our country with modern technologies and with research and
development, key points in strengthening the Spain Brand.
Worldwide, we are famous for our language, culture, heritage and
tourism, but unfortunately and unfairly, we are not often associated
to the state-of-the-art development of new technologies. Defence
and Security has become a spearhead for the Spain Brand to
disseminate a modern, innovative image of our country.
What has the participation of our Armed Forces in international
missions meant for the Spain Brand?
The presence of our Armed Forces in international conflicts
has turned Spain into the fifth power to contribute towards
safeguarding world security. The image of Spain has gained
significance thanks to its military contributions on peace and
international aid missions, with around 2,000 troops spread over
twelve operations. This support, among other issues, has helped
us ensure a post for Spain as a non-permanent member of the
UN Security Council and has strengthened our image as an active,
caring country that is committed to peace and security.
Carlos Espinosa de los Monteros,
Government High Commissioner for the Spain Brand
What Defence technologies can our country head as a bastion
for the Spain Brand?
The extraordinary work of Spanish companies in the development
of Defence and Security technologies and the signing of very
important contracts with countries around the world strengthen
the image of Spain as an exporter of innovation. Integrated land,
sea and air surveillance systems, cyber-security technologies,
satellite and radar communication systems, naval and air
engineering or modern simulators are just some of the Spanish
technologies used on a daily basis in hundreds of countries and
that head the Spain Brand.
How does the Spain Brand support the internationalisation
of companies, including those from the Defence and Security
sector?
The Spain Brand acts as an umbrella for all business initiatives
and promotions implemented by the Authorities. Companies
have ICEX and other special organisations to accompany them
during their internationalisation processes. The Spain Brand works
on improving the image of our country abroad and, in short,
enabling companies to access foreign markets. IT is the prestige
of a country that attracts interest and disseminates security in the
different sectors.
The growth of exports is a sign of change in the current
economic situation. Is the Defence industry an example of the
commercial trend to head abroad?
The transformation of recent decades has made the Defence and
Security industry aware of the need for internationalisation to
ensure the feasibility of its business. Accessing foreign markets is
no longer an option but an obligation. The sector has been able to
start a positioning strategy abroad thanks to the high technological
qualifications and its orientation towards the needs of each
project, which is reaping its fruits and acting as an example for
other sectors that must eventually support internationalisation.

matters at stake

efence matters. This intriguing and at the same time provocative
slogan, with a clear double meaning, clearly and concisely summarises
the strategy that has been progressively rolled out over the past year
in international defence-related forums, both in the framework of
NATO and the EU.
Defence matters and their promotion will undoubtedly be high on
the agendas not only at the above mentioned international forums
but also in national defence policies in 2015 and that is the context
on which I am basing this contribution to the document
SPAIN Defence & Security Industry 2015, now in its third edition, which
has consolidated a name for itself as one of the reference catalogues
of the basic technological and industrial capabilities of the Spanish
defence industry.
The framework of international security has changed drastically in
recent times. Most of the operations and missions carried out by
our Armed Forces and those of our allies and/or partner countries
within the framework of the international organisations to which
Spain belongs, whether NATO or the EU, take place far from home.
The majority of these countries no longer have compulsory military
service, which, analysed without going into great depth, obviously
impacts the way the public understands the defence industry, i.e., what
has been called ‘awareness of defence’. The financial downturn, which
began to affect Western economies - and European ones in particular
- as of 2008, also played a role in the significant and drastic reductions
in public spending, particularly with regards defence ministry budgets
and therefore the business strategies of industries related to the sector.
All of this has without question made both NATO and the EU keen
to act on the issue, within the sphere of their respective powers and
responsibilities. In other words, to prioritise defence matters on the
agendas of their strategic meetings, which are the Heads of State or
Government meetings in the case of the EU (specifically the meeting
of December 2013) and the NATO summits (in particular the Wales
summit of September 2014). Above all, it has led both organisations
to redouble their efforts to make not only national defence ministries
but also, and very importantly, the public aware of the importance of
keeping numerous defence-related matters on the table, including the
always-controversial aspect of budgets, as fundamental elements that
12/Spain_2015
guarantee freedom and prosperity. From there comes the reference,
not in the form of a question but as a statement, that defence is
important, i.e., defence matters.
As the NATO Secretary General said in his speech to the
Parliamentary Assembly in Zagreb in October 2013: “It is clear that
defence still matters, but what we all need to do is improve our
efforts to explain why”. For its part, within the framework of the EU,
the European Defence Agency chose European Defence Matters as
the title for its annual conference in Brussels in March 2014, launching
a message along the same lines as that of the NATO Secretary
General a few months earlier.
In this context, with the logical differences stemming from their
particular situations, one as an intergovernmental military alliance and
the other as an economic and political association of countries, both
organisations have set their 2015 roadmaps to address three basic
areas of action. The first, focused on shoring up the political/strategic
aspects of agreement, on the one hand, with the principles of the
North Atlantic Treaty on which the alliance is based and, on the other,
with those derived from the Common Security and Defence Policy
(CSDP), as detailed in the EU’s Lisbon Treaty. The purpose is clear:
to raise awareness about defence among the public by rolling out
common intergovernmental policies.
The second action is aimed at identifying, developing and obtaining
the military capabilities needed to address the current and future
threats the member countries and stakeholders of the organisations
face, including the new framework of international relations arising
from the Ukraine crisis.
Finally, and just as importantly, actions in the area of the defence
industry as a key strategic sector in related matters. The development
of a technologically competent industry, competitive at the global
level and able to provide the systems that cover the military capability
requirements our Armed Forces must have today and in the future is
undoubtedly a key question.
Figures from the European Defence Agency (EDA) show that total
spending by EDA member states, i.e., all of the EU states except
In this European scenario, global competition from emerging
countries is a major challenge to the Old Continent, with 2015 R&D
investment by the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China)
estimated to more than double the aggregate figures of France, the
UK and Germany, the EU’s three leaders in this type of investment.
In this context, defence industries - including the Spanish one - have
spent the past few years facing the challenge of remaining profitable
in an internal market in clear decline, forcing them to respond with
a wide spectrum of strategies, including diversifying the business to
get onto civil markets in search of greater efficiencies and boosting
expansion on global markets to seek new opportunities.
Opportunities which, in many cases, are associated with tech transfers
as demanded by the purchaser countries in order to create strong
indigenous business structures, with the obvious risk of increasing the
number of competitors.
Faced with this discouraging
prospect, the European Council,
at its December 2013 meeting,
approved the implementation
of an ambitious agenda to
foster a more competitive and
efficient security and defence
sector that would contribute to
the goals of Europe 2020, i.e.,
20% of GDP to come from the
industrial sector in general and
3% of GDP to go into R&D.
This agenda is in line with the
COM/2014/0387/final report from the European Commission which,
under the title, “A New Deal for European Defence”, details the
roadmap which the Commission, in close collaboration with Member
States, the European External Action Service (EEAS) and the EDA
and through regular consultation with the European Parliament and
industry, has been developing since the start of the political year last
September and for those which it plans to present a situation report
on at the EU Heads of State or Government meeting to be held in
June 2015.
This consultation mechanism, which the Communication on the
roadmap refers to, is of vital importance as it must permit and facilitate
the defence ministries of the member states, as the parties responsible
for the industrial defence policy, to be a key part of the armament and
material policy, as they can be direct and agile interlocutors with the
Commission during the implementation of the roadmap.
Considering the set of actions and tools which the Commission has
implemented with this list of actions, including financial ones and
those that make the most of the opportunities that present with
the development of dual technologies and the logical reservations
deriving from the specificities of defence matters, principally
associated with legitimate national security interests, the Spanish
Ministry of Defence considers all of the Commission’s activities in
this field to be highly positive. These actions unquestionably involve
proposals of huge importance for the future of the industry and the
European defence market and therefore for meeting the military
capability goals of Europe’s armed forces.
Spain, with an industrial defence sector developed over the past 30
years and which not only has SMEs that are highly competitive in
niches of excellence related with defence, but which also participates
in important transnational companies, is aware, through its Ministry
of Defence and, in particular, the Secretariat of State for Defence, as
the party responsible for the sector’s industrial policy, that the work
plan which the European Commission has implemented with respect
to the defence market and industry requires actions by the Member
States at the national level.
The Spanish defence industry posted earnings of more €5.6 billion
in 2013, 2.5% more than the previous year’s total. 70% came from
exports and there was a 10% reinvestment in R&D, providing
more than 50,000 jobs and
generating €2.5 for every
euro invested, in addition to
having an enormous multiplier
effect on economic activity
and technological innovation.
This all makes it extremely well
placed to continue to contribute
to shoring up the European
Defence Technological and
Industrial Base (EDTIB).
Within the possibilities that the
process of economic recovery
allows, the Secretariat of
State for Defence has already
implemented a new investment cycle in defence which will most
certainly not only make it possible to address new requirements
with respect to the military capabilities that the Armed Forces
need to contribute both to national security and collective
security within the framework of our international alliances and
associations, but also give a new boost to the maintenance and
greater development of the industrial and technological base of
Spanish defence.

Denmark, came to €189.6 billion in 2012, approximately 1.5% of the
27 countries’ aggregate Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and 3% of
total government spending, both figures being the lowest since 2006.
In other words, there has been a 12% cut in defence spending in
real terms since 2006, along with an equally important fall in R&D
investment.
The definition of industrial capabilities considered strategic to
defence, an action which is being carried out parallel to this, will
contribute to allowing Spanish industry to help the European
consolidation project with the specific weight in accordance with the
role that corresponds to Spain.
Finally, institutional backing for the internationalisation of the Spanish
defence industry will continue to be a priority factor for the Spanish
Defence Ministry. Because, in short, in the interests of freedom,
prosperity and citizen safety: Defence matters.

Industry for Defence
t
he Ministry of Defence, through the Defence Policy, determines
the national defence objectives and the resources and actions
needed to obtain them. These objectives are defined in the
National Defence Directive, which forms the basis of the
National Defence and Military Defence Plan. When we talk
about resources and the actions needed to obtain them, we are
talking about appropriate Armed Forces and an industry which
provides them not only with all of the equipment, armament
and material needed to comply with their functions but also
that which is necessary in day-to-day operations to live, move
and fight. National defence resources are therefore the Armed
Forces and the industry that supplies them to carry it out.
When considering the attainment of these resources by the
Armed Forces, i.e., all of the equipment and services needed for
mission compliance, it is necessary to establish two major groups:
firstly, the one related to armaments and weapons systems and
secondly, the one related to all the other equipment and services.
There is no question that there are significant differences in
attainment between one and the other. The procurement policy
of a weapons system presents major differences to the policy of
acquiring goods and services not related to armaments.
The overall industry that supplies the Armed Forces with these
resources is normally called the defence industry but then,
when one hears this expression, the first thing one thinks of
is armaments. Indeed, it is not only the first thing, it is often
the only thing. We therefore forget about an entire industry
which builds barracks, provides clothing, means of information
and communication, food and a long list of complementary
equipment and services for arms and ammunition systems which
are needed to live, move and fight, as mentioned above.
The latter industry supplies these goods and services not only
to the Armed Forces, it can also supply them to all the other

government bodies and private organisations that also require
buildings, clothing, means of information and communication,
food and the same long list of equipment and services to live,
move, etc., and these days not to fight but to comply with their
functions. That is why said equipment and services are today
called dual-use goods and services.
Should we really call this dual-use goods and services industry
the defence industry? Well, no, not really; but it is true that many
companies have specialised in producing these dual-use goods
and services for defence and which, although this portfolio is not
their major customer, it is their principal client. So what should
we call this industry? The Industry ‘for’ Defence as the AESMIDE
Association does.
Spain has long been clear about this which is why, when the
Defence Ministry promoted the association of industries which
was going to supply it with all of these resources back in 1984
with a view to facilitating a dialogue to discuss the problems
concerning contracting, it decided to create two associations: one
for the industry most closely related to weapons systems and the
other, AESMIDE, the Association of Contractor Companies for
Public Authorities, for the industry not related to them.
What should be clear is that the industry for defence requires a
differentiated customer care, as if it constituted a sector. Spanish
industry is divided into sectors, and when the Government
wants to promote it, it determines appropriate measures for
each of them. This has recently been acknowledged in Europe.
The European Commission has published a guide to help SMEs
tap into EU funding for dual-use projects (which it now defines
using this expression). It is clearly fully aware of the need for
institutional support and funding for this type of industry. The
European defence policy is aware of needing it and that it

must support it institutionally, and the Spanish defence policy is
beginning to be aware of it, too.
The 2nd Defence and Security Congresswas recently held at
the General Military Academy in Zaragoza. Organised by this
Association in collaboration with the Ministry of Defence,
the ISDEFE Chair and the University of Zaragoza, over 150
specialists from universities, public research organisations (PROs),
businesses and State Security Forces laboratories assembled at
the General Military Academy. The Congress urged attendees
to make use of the synergies between the civil and military
spheres to achieve an interaction between research, innovation
Finally, specialised services are those that have been performed
since the mid-1990s in more laborious, complex and specific
treatment areas and which are currently still being developed
or perfected. They consist fundamentally of the maintenance
of weapons systems where the goal is to sign multi-activity
contracts with tier-one industrial suppliers which cover not just
maintenance activities and spare parts supply but engineering
services and deployment support.
All of these activities have shored up an industry which we call
the industry for defence and which the Ministry classifies as
the auxiliary industry. This industry features a great many small

and technology that would ensure a safer society. This synergy
is necessary to successfully roll out, in favour of the security and
defence policy, the outsourcing which has been taking place in
the Spanish Armed Forces since the 1980s.
We could classify this outsourcing as elemental, basic and specialised.
The first concern clearly auxiliary tasks, the types that were done
instinctively from the time armies first began and through to the
end of the 1980s.They involve the ad-hoc contracting of different
supplies and services concerning: repair work, gardening, catering,
food, cleaning, hair-dressing, etc.The second began to take place in
the 1990s in the same areas as the previous stage, but prioritising
the idea of permanent comprehensive service and with an
approach focused on a lasting solution with longer terms.This meant
signing contracts of a greater scope and importance: maintenance
of installations and infrastructures, surveillance and security services;
land, sea and air transportation of both personnel and material,
specialised maintenance (vehicles, engines, aircraft), training in
languages and IT, manufacturing, storage and distribution of clothing
and equipment and waste disposal.
and medium-sized enterprises and they are the ones that need
special institutional support. In addition to the support measures
that have already been announced and which are taking place,
I suggest we add another one which the sector considers
fundamental, i.e, facilitating the entry of SMEs in the supply chain,
and the best way to do it is to globalise projects and ensure that
technical specifications sheets for tenders enable joint ventures
to provide a turnkey response to these projects.

Innovating with an eye

Adolfo Menéndez Menéndez
President of the TEDAE
Opportunities of the new cycle
t
The Defence and Security sector is starting a new investment
cycle, to which it is urgent to adapt with flexibility and a proactive
spirit. The indications are that this new cycle will be marked by
the start of the economic recovery, to which we are keen to
contribute in as far as our not inconsiderable possibilities allow.
he Spanish Defence and Security industry is committed to
continuing to grow, which is why it must strive to permanently
improve on efficiency and competitiveness. Knowing too that
technological innovation is the competitive edge that offers the
most guarantees, it ploughs 10% of its turnover into R&D.
A new cycle in which we can glimpse potential opportunities
and growth in demand in the increasingly tenuous dividing lines
between Defence and Security and civil R&D. We can also
see opportunities in the progress of European regulations, the
prioritising of industrial specialisation, European Union structural
funds, the H2020 programme and the new framework being
outlined for the Defence industry.
The years of contracting domestic demand, as a result of the
restraint in public spending required to emerge from the crisis, have
been fraught with difficulties, but they have also provided learning
opportunities. Things learnt over this time include the fact that we
know we can do things well and can therefore consolidate our
position as a technological and industrial frontrunner, a position we
have worked hard to earn and which is the outcome of our effort
as an industrial sector.
Similarly, we can see an asymmetry in the transfer of powers from
Member States to the European Union. Moving forwards quickly
in financial areas, although the process has yet to culminate, things
are slower in Defence matters, which obviously go to the heart
of sovereignty, while at the same time the crisis highlights the
difficulties, if not the impossibility, of sustaining the investments
in Defence and R&D that will be needed in the future without a
close European collaboration.
In short, we are aware that our businesses need to persevere in
R&D investment to continue to roll out inhouse technologies and
products. That will be the spearhead to successfully moving onto
These are opportunities we are keen to respond to, as I said
before, by focusing innovation on the markets, but also by aligning
ourselves to an industrial policy of State, perfecting public-private
>It’s selling the products you make yourself, and we make excellent products and

new markets and occupying technological niches that can give us an
advantageous position over the competition. It’s as simple as selling
the products you make yourself, and we make excellent products
and technologies, under brand Spain, which already deliver an
export figure of 70%.
In order to grow, Spanish industry wants to win new markets and
customers for its excellent products and technologies. This can be
achieved by focusing innovation on the market, and particularly
international markets. In the same the way that Marcus Aurelius
said that as an Antonine his fatherland was Rome but as a man it
was the world, we are Spain’s industry, but we want, we can and we
must think globally because our market is the world. We want to
compete freely and under equal conditions on these global markets
and that is the direction in which we are moving.
16/Spain_2015
cooperation tools with profitable and flexible business structures
to become bigger, more capable and by joining forces. These are all
priority targets for our companies.
Inhouse products and technologies
One of our strengths is that as a sector we have delivered high
levels of quality, qualification and competitiveness. We are one of
the few nations whose businesses can handle the entire industrial
process: innovation, production, deployment, maintenance
and so on. We have the products, capabilities and competitive
technologies in the areas of ground, naval and air platforms, in
electronics and communications, in armaments and ammunition
and in the space industry, among others. The sectoral structure,
distributed into prime businesses, subcontractors and SMEs
with their own products, allows us to lead complex projects,
participate in international programmes and have competitive
specialised niches.
In short, we have forged an important position on markets which
we are not willing to let fall by the wayside out of inertia. To get
where we are, our industries have put a great deal of effort into
their professionals, along with significant investment and a hearty
degree of enthusiasm. These are the same traits we devote to the
continuous improvement of existing products and the roll-out of
new ones that integrate different technologies.
Examples include the international programmes our industry and
products have taken part in, providing advanced technology services
to the UK, Australia, Brazil, France, Saudi Arabia and Germany, among
other countries. We have consolidated our reputation as partners
they can trust and have become benchmarks for many of them.
Our companies are also no strangers to the dynamism that exists
with respect to Security technologies and applications, a market with
enormous growth potential. Our
geographic position has led to
us developing ground-breaking
applications in border control
and sea surveillance matters, to
give just two examples, which
are being used to a high level of
satisfaction in numerous States.
Then there is the major
technological challenges
concerning cybersecurity today:
an area where Spanish industry
aims to continue to grow, as it
has the expertise and capacity
needed to move forwards in
effective and competitive solutions that anticipate present and
future threats.
To sum up, we are ready to tackle the Defence and Security
challenges that must be faced over coming years. It is a challenge
we will step up to at this time of transformations and changing
scenarios, in which a number of very important variables come into
play: security, sovereignty, budgetary restraints, new types of conflicts,
economic growth, protection of technology assets and R&D.
It is a challenge to which businesses and governments must find
effective and inclusive responses, as no economy, no society, is
capable of progressing without a safe and stable environment.
in their different forms, in accordance with their level of integration
(establishment of consortia, joint ventures, stakes in companies or
mergers and acquisitions).
Spanish companies also have vast experience in cooperation
agreements with other countries, where they have efficiently and
successfully managed tech transfers and transactions, models of
corporate government and the identification, monitoring and
management of contingent liabilities. Proof of this is the fact that
more than two-thirds of their revenue came from international
markets last year.
It is also necessary to consider that, on more than one occasion,
commercial agreements initiated between companies of different
nationalities end up becoming bilateral cooperation agreements
between States that transcend the field of Defence and Security to
include other areas, such as infrastructures and telecommunications.
In this respect, Spain not only has the experience of its companies,
but also the support of its
Government and Ministry
of Defence, which have
fostered the development of
cooperation and export tools
such as the government-togovernment agreements that
facilitate the transactions of
certain products.
I believe there are the grounds
to say that the Spanish Defence
and Security industry has, at
this time of profound changes,
earned its technological and
business stripes and has a
decidedly export vocation which demonstrates the powerful
multiplier effect of economic activity (each euro invested in Defence
generates €. 2.5 in economic activity). Ours is a strategic sector for
the economy, not only in terms of Security and national sovereignty,
but also as a generator of highly qualified employment, of the
industrial fabric and of added value, as well as tech and knowledge
transfers to other industries in the civil sphere.
There is no question that investing in Defence and Security
is probably the most effective tool for articulating a country’s
technology training which, through the trickle-down effect to the
civil sector, ensures economic, technological and social returns vastly
superior to the initial investment.
Strategic alliances
The governments of the countries that invest most heavily in
Defence and Security, whether through their own programmes
or multinational ones, support their national industries growing on
foreign markets.
In export activity, most operations are based on cooperation
agreements with local companies. In other words, strategic alliances

Material (DGAM) and from other Authorities, universities and
companies take part. The participation of these internal and
external collaborators is considered essential for providing a view
of technology that is as all-encompassing and precise as possible.
Technological surveillance provides knowledge of the state of
the art of technologies in order to make better investments. This
knowledge enables the SOPT to technologically assess the R&D
proposals received by the SDGPLATIN that are associated to
the general armament procurement process and the promotion
of R&D from international forums or from different national
initiatives, such as the National COINCIDENTE (Cooperation in
Scientific Research and Development in Strategic Technologies)
Programme.
These new technologies are obtained after prioritising them
all, optimising the use of resources through the analysis of
technological advances, opportunities and potential threats,
promoting their incorporation into common areas, such as
Defence (Security, ITCs, Air Transport, Space, etc.). Furthermore,
the agreement established in the European R&D policy are
supported in order to increase the level of joint investment and
improve returns, focusing European R&D investments on areas of
interest to us.
Technological prioritisation is the basis on which the planning of
R&D investments and the obtaining of material lie. Within this
area, the SOPT supports Defence Planning in the technological
aspects associated to the Planning of Material Resources. 2010
saw the publishing of the Technological and Innovation Strategy
for Defence (ETID), a document that includes the lines of action
for obtaining the necessary technologies to develop systems that
require the capacities defined in the Military Plan. This provides
a new tool that helps develop the priority technological lines
and organise the management of the Defence R&D activities
in a more efficient manner, promoting their situation within the
general framework of national innovation and becoming a public
reference that encourages the coordination of technological
research and innovation activities by the Ministry.
With regards to the sector, the ETID is a reference that indicates
which research and innovation technologies and developments
are necessary so that the industry can line up its activities with
these needs. To highlight the aim of this strategy with regards to
integration, a website (www.etid.es) is available and a series of
sectorial conferences have been held with the industry, where all
those interested formulated their observations and comments
freely through forums and questionnaires for later analysis. It is
important to note that, for this defence-civilian environment to
interact and benefit from the activities performed by the SOPT,
the information collected must not only be used as technical
advice for the DGAM but must also be distributed through
different mechanisms such as conferences and publications,
one of the most representative being the Defence Technology
Observation Bulletin, which is currently published every quarter
and can be downloaded directly from the ETID website.
The Ministry of Defence is responsible not only for anticipating
any risks and threats but also for contributing towards improving
dual-use technological and industrial capacities for Defence. An
example of the existing mechanisms for this adaptation is the
SOPT located in the SDGPLATIN. The aim to act as liaison and
provide knowledge of the industrial technological base is inherent
to the essence of this System and, therefore, it is predisposed to
assist this base in applying its capacities in the interests of Defence.
The SOPT assesses technological proposals from universities and
companies and is an excellent starting point for their distribution.
It is also aware of the possibilities of the new lines of technology
so that these possibilities can be transferred and the impact on
Defence planning in terms of armament and material in both
R&D programmes and in procurement can be known, making
sure that the future systems have the best technological advantage
possible to meet with their commitments in an environment that
is also constantly changing.

humanity are mostly due to the efforts of man to defend himself
and to attack his adversaries under the best conditions, using
the skills and quality of the weaponry and accessories that have
been used throughout history.
Aware of the importance of procurement quality, the Spanish
Ministry of Defence promoted the creation of the instrument
(teaching and means) to ensure that any elements used by our
Armed Forces are worthy of receiving the stamp of the highest
quality.

also forced the technical echelons of Defence to evolve in terms
of the systems used to control and ensure the quality of its
applications.
The complexity of the weaponry systems and elements used by
the Spanish Armed Forces (FAS), combined with the necessary
reliability, difficulty of replenishment and high cost, has led to the

Quality in the Defence sector in Spain.
Historical background
The FAS in Spain have always provided teaching, units and
means aimed at quality management in its procurements of
military equipment.
20/Spain_2015
STANAG 4107, endorsed by the allied nations involved in
the procurement of Defence material, refers to the “Mutual
Acceptance of Government Quality Assurance (GQA) and
Usage of the AQAP (Allied Quality Assurance Publications)”
and establishes the rules for delegating contract-related GQA
activities.
On endorsing this agreement, the national authority (the
Director General of Armaments Weaponry and Material DGAM - in Spain) agreed to provide an Official Inspection
service in the country for Quality Assurance in contracts signed
by another Member State in all areas of Defence supply services.
These GQA activities are primarily developed within the
industries by the QAR (Quality Assurance Representative of the
Ministry of Defence) appointed by the DGAM for each specific
contractor and his activities are undertaken based on suitably
identifying and assessing risks.
However, the scope of the activities associated to Government
Quality Assurance can also include assessment of the capacity
of the quality management system of potential suppliers and
the supervision of activities related to the contract on the
appropriate level. The most important aspect of the GQA is
ensuring the supplier meets all contractual requirements.
The NATO agreement involves acknowledgements and action
such as the following, among others:
• Establish the DGAM, as the
National Quality Assurance
Authority, for all Official Inspection requests from NATO
agencies or countries to
Spain and from Spain to the
different NATO countries.
• Translate and publish
AQAP standards as Spanish
Quality Publications, PECAL
standards. These standards
were translated by the former Technical Industrial Inspection Service, now known
as the Industrial Inspection
Area (IIA) of the Sub-directorate General for Technical Inspection and Services of the Spanish
Ministry of Defence.
• Establish PECALs as standards of reference for work by
Ministry of Defence Official Inspection personnel.
are merely ISO 9000 standards with a series of additional NATO
requirements. Spanish PECAL regulations are the transposition
of AQAP regulations.
The implementation of quality management systems in line with
AQAP/PECAL standards in the different organisations ensures
that contracting bodies trust the capacity of suppliers to meet
contractual requirements, consolidate quality management and
contribute towards a sought-after continuous improvement.
In line with its scope, there are two types of PECAL: contractual
and guide. This regulatory structure means that the most
suitable standard for each
contract can be selected and
requested at any given time,
thus enabling the purchaser
and the supplier to effectively
schedule resources and
optimise the investment.
PECAL contractual standards
are the most important, as
they mean that the supplier
must provide objective
proof that he has established
and maintains a quality
management system related
to the contract. The system
must contain the necessary
elements to assure the QAR
that the product meets with contractual requirements.
The standards of PECAL series 2000, which may be included in
contracts and that establish quality assurance requirements, are
as follows:
• Disseminate PECAL standards among companies in the
sector. Once known by the industries in the Defence sector,
these publications acted as a catalyser to ensure and boost the
implementation process for quality management systems in these
industries.
• PECAL 2110 NATO Requirements for Quality Assurance in
Design, Development and Production.
• Assess the companies supplying Defence, ensuring they have
quality management systems that meet the requirements of any
of the contractual AQAP/PECALs.

• PECAL 2009 NATO Guide
for the use of PECAL series
2000 standards, which is currently being published.
The need to implement PECAL standards in organisations and
obtain acknowledgement in the form of the PECAL certificate
granted by the Director Generate of Armament and Material is
determined by the type of contract for which each organisation
can present a bid in an aim to obtain contractual links to the
Ministry of Defence.
At present, there are around two hundred certified companies from
different sectors and of varying sizes. Initial certification according
to PECAL standards is granted by the DGAM following an audit
performed by qualified personnel from the Ministry of Defence.
In order to gradually
outsource the auditing
system supported by
the ‘PECAL series 2000
certification system’,
the audits for certificate
renewal are to be
performed, following
authorisation by the

Certification of quality
management systems in line with
PECAL/AQAP Series 2000 standards
The quality management system certification system according
to PECAL/AQAP series 2000 standards
Certification by the Ministry of Defence - Directorate General
of Armaments and Material dated back to 1986, as of the
implementation of STANAG 4107, and has the following
objectives:
• Inform NATO countries and agencies of the quality system of
the companies.
To ensure the implementation of this certification system in
an environment of independence, confidentiality, transparency
and gradual accessibility by all Armament and Defence Material
Industries (IAMD), the Mixed Defence-IAMD Committee was
formed, which acts on delegation by the DGAM. Furthermore,
the mission of the CMDIN is to promote cooperation and
participation by the different players involved in the certification
of IAMD quality systems according to PECAL series 2000
and to supervise and manage the application of documents
supporting the System.
• Facilitate access by Spanish companies to bid for tender in
procurement contracts abroad.
The certification system was presented in May 2003. The following
stages of the PECAL/AQAP series 2000 system then started:
• Prior to awarding the contract, ensure the capacity of Spanish
companies to meet any quality requirements established.

Different aspects of the Quality management
system certification according to PECAL/AQAP
series 2000 Standards
The following issues must be clarified in relation to the
certification process according to PECAL/AQAP series 2000
standards and the subsequent entry into the PECAL/AQAP
series 2000 certification system:
To obtain the PECAL certificate and subsequently enter to
form part of the System, the interested company must have a
quality management system implemented in line with Standard
UNE-EN ISO 9001.
The process is initially started by the AII/SDGINSERT, which performs
the initial audit and, where applicable, grants the IAMD quality
management system certificate for a certain scope.This certificate
remains valid for a period of approximately three years. During this
time and until renewal, no PECAL follow-up audits are required by any
organisation, apart from in exceptional circumstances.
1. Following this period, the certificate is renewed for
three-yearly periods following renewal audits performed by
certification organisations selected by the IAMDs from those
approved by the CMDIN.
2. The certification organisation selected must perform annual
follow-up audits. The results of the follow-up and renewal audits
are supervised by the AII/SDGINSERT, which are involved in the
certificate renewal process.
The PECAL 2210 standard is not included within this certification
system and not all audits are performed by AII/SDGINSERT
personnel.
Role of the Spanish Quality
Association (AEC)
Within the heart of the Spanish Quality Association is the
Defence Industries and Services Committee that, among
others, acts as a meeting point among Defence suppliers and
the Ministry itself in terms of aspects relating to quality. It also
disseminates, promotes and improves knowledge on quality
regulations involving contracts and facilitates an understanding of
the specific quality requirements of this portfolio.
Recently, this AEC Defence Industries and Services Committee
produced a guide book in ‘Certification and the maintaining
of the PECAL/AQAP system certificate’, which explained the
activities to be performed by an organisation in the sector in
order to enter the PECAL/AQAP system.
The document is formed by a series of simple flow charts that
represent the following activities:
• Initial procedures for the first PECAL/AQAP certificate.
• Initial audit perform by the Ministry of Defence in the PECAL/
AQAP System.
• Renewal of the certificate and entry into the PECAL/AQAP
System.
• Notification of changes in scope and facilities.

Future Prospects
of the Defence Industry
a
Manuel Parra
Partner Responsible for Industry
at KPMG, Spain
ll actions directed at boosting industrial activity in general and
the defence sector in particular are welcome. That’s why the
announcement by the Ministry of Defence of a budget increase in
2015, the first since 2008, and the launch by the Ministry of Industry
of an agenda with 90 measures to foster the reindustrialisation of
Spain is news that encourages optimism about the future of Spain’s
production industry.
Defence is a key area for European and Spanish reindustrialisation.
The industry presently represents around 15% of GDP and the goal
is to bring it up to 20% by 2020. The activity of the Spanish defence
industry has a clearly multiplier effect for GDP as a whole. We are
talking about a production sector formed of approximately 400
businesses that employ over 23,000 people directly and a further
50,000 indirectly. In fact, each euro spent in this sector puts an
additional 2.6 euros into the economy, and even its export activity
presents a multiplier factor of more than 3.
We must remember that this is a sector with a vast capacity for
generating knowledge and investment in R&D which are later used

by other sectors. It is a sector with highly advanced technological
capabilities but, as the Government also reminds us, it is too small
to achieve a “strong international positioning and access funding”
and is a fragmented market as an upshot of national contracts
that produce a large variety of fairly non-standardised products.
From the budgetary viewpoint, everything seems to suggest
that Spain is facing a change of cycle that allows us to look to
the future with certain optimism. In his appearance before the
lower house of Parliament on 6 October, the Secretary of State
for Defence, Pedro Argüelles, spelt out the key points of his
department’s budget for 2015. After a number of years marked
by the need to correct economic imbalances, the Ministry of
Defence will this year increase its budget for the first time since
2008. The improvement is very small, barely 0.38%, but it allows
us to speak of a change of trend within the government.
The arrival of the financial crisis resulted in an “ongoing absence of
new investments” and the defence industry’s capabilities were not
able to be modernised to the standard required. In this context,
as Mr Argüelles said, Spain’s industry is losing its technological
positioning, “making itself more vulnerable to acquisitions on the
part of large foreign companies”. The Government’s reaction was
to implement a work plan to define an industrial policy for defence
with two main purposes: to achieve sustained investment which
would make it possible to maintain the modernisation cycle of the
Armed Forces and protect a national defence industry which is
“essential” to sovereignty.
Within this work plan, a series of actions have been designed
that focus on four main areas which the Government hopes will
become the basis of its industrial policy for defence: the drafting
of a study of core capabilities is essential, as has been done in
other countries; the implementation of an R&D plan linked to
boosting and training in the industry; a review of the industrial
model for defence, focusing it on consolidation and shoring it
up within a general framework for improved competitiveness;
and the search for stable funding. We would hope that this
investment stimulus will remain steady over time, but it would
have to avoid the political vagaries of successive governments
and the financial crisis itself, which in recent years has been the
catalyst behind this important budgetary adjustment. The strong

financial commitments associated with military programmes have
also failed to recover the investment drive.
The action areas proposed by the government and targeted
at stimulating demand, improving competitiveness, fostering
innovation and boosting financing alternatives to the banking
channel are steps in the right direction and cover some of the
reforms our industry needs. What is essential now is the effective
adoption of specific measures needed to reach the targets.
Global indicators are also encouraging with regards innovation.
The latest market surveys indicate that defence and aerospace
companies at a global level will significantly increase their investment
in R&D over the coming years, although they will opt for creating
associations with suppliers and clients to
obtain maximum performance from the
investment in innovation and to cut costs
and improve sales revenue. This is one of
the main conclusions of a survey KPMG
carried out internationally, called the 2014
Global Aerospace & Defense Outlook. This
was a poll on the prospects of the global
aerospace and defence sector in 2014,
in which nine out of every 10 executives
consulted around the world considered that
partnerships, more than internal efforts, will
determine the future of innovation. Given
that only 40% thought this way in 2013, this year’s poll shows a
very marked trend towards partnerships in R&D in this specific
sector. This trend towards establishing partnerships with clients and
suppliers to invest in innovation was shown across the board in all
areas of the industry.
The defence industry needs institutional support to finance its
R&D investments, an aspect we continue to improve on to bring
us more into line with other countries. Tomorrow’s sales depend
to a large extent on the research we do today, which must
come to fruition in the near future in innovative products and
manufacturing processes.
At a time when the R&D budget is under increasing pressure, many
companies are seeking opportunities to shore up both revenue
and profitability, whether by establishing a greater presence on
new markets or adapting their product and service ranges to
adjacent sectors. Indeed, as is clearly illustrated in the report, sector
businesses are more focused than ever on formalising associations
and creating more collaborative business models to be able to
deliver on these goals. However, almost half
the people polled in the survey admitted
they are only “somewhat efficient” when it
comes to determining their profitability and
just 12% considered themselves to be
“very efficient”.
>Defence and
aerospace companies
at a global level will
significantly increase
their investment in
R&D over the
coming years
Three-quarters of the people polled in this sector around the world
said that their companies planned to target between 2% and 3% of
their revenue in R&D over the next two years, and 16% said they
would invest between 4% and 5%. This would be a considerable
increase in this area, as over half said they had dedicated no more
than around 1% of their revenue to R&D in the previous two
years. 75% of the people polled also said they would focus their
investment effort firstly on boosting existing product ranges before
they invest in radically innovative technologies.
Another point to mention with regards the
report is that control over the supply chain
has been a challenge for the aerospace
and defence sector. In fact, almost half the
participants mentioned it as one of the
two biggest challenges in relation to the
supply chain. 51% said they only had a “certain visibility” with
regards their tier-one suppliers and none in relation to their
tier-two ones. When seeking new growth opportunities, many
sector organisations now focus on entering new markets and
taking advantage of the right opportunity to get the most from
their services and products on adjacent markets. It is no surprise
that this year’s poll shows that sector organisations are striving to
adapt their supply chains to cover these possible new markets.
The 2014 Global Aerospace & Defense Outlook suggests that the
next few years will give way to an era of collaboration which will
radically impact the way that sector businesses operate. Adapting
operating models to tackle this revolutionary complexity is no
easy task for industry executives; it is important that companies
start planning now.

he ARBS has been designed by Airbus
Defence and Space to refuel receptacleequipped receivers such as the F-16
Fighting Falcon, the F-35A Lighting II or
the A330 MRTT itself (when equipped
with receptacle, Universal Aerial Refuelling
Receptacle Slipway Instalation, UARRSI).
Located underneath the rear fuselage
of the tanker aircraft, the boom mast is
remotely controlled from an Air Refuelling
Console in the flight deck, where an Air
Refuelling Operator uses an advanced
technology 2D/3D high definition/digital
Enhanced Vision System. Adverse weather,
day or night refuelling can be performed,
This gives safer operation and a reduced
workload for the Air Refuelling Operator,
while enabling the tanker crew to be
located together in the flight deck.
The ARBS is equipped with an all electrical,
full fly-by-wire flight control system. It is
provided with an automatic load alleviation
system, and has autonomous disconnect
for the receiver and the tanker, and has
been designed under the dual redundant
architecture (fail operational, fail safe).
Secure communication is possible though
the boom. The boom mast and equipment
require on-condition maintenance only.
The ARBS boom design provides a
geometrical envelope larger than that of
previous tankers (KC-135) facilitating safer
contacts and refuelling operations.
The fuel flow rate of the ARBS is up to
1200 US gal/min (up to 4600 l/min) at
50 psig, making it the most capable new
generation flight proven boom available
today. This high rate of fuel transfer greatly
reduces the refuelling operation time.

certified for operations in 2010.
Programme development
The launch of the ARBS development

transport and tanker aircraft that require a
system of this type for the in-flight refuelling
of most US-designed fighter planes
operated by the air forces worldwide
(F-16, F-15, etc.). It was launched for bids
in 2001 and, in 2004, enabled Airbus D&S
to successfully compete against Boeing for
the contract for the new tanker planes
of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).
This contract turned the RAAF into the
spearhead client of the A330 MRTT.

The Space Industry in Spain
Six Success Stories,
from the Continental
Behemoth to the
Pioneering SME
Francisco Herranz

t
he space industry plays an influential
and strategic role in Spain’s production
sector. Although it represents only 0.02%
of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), its
special characteristics make it a highly
competitive sector which is attractive to
investors and which can drive the economy.
What are these attributes? Firstly, it is a
segment which invests heavily in research
and development (R&D). The latest figures
from the Spanish Association of Defence,
Aeronautics, Security and Space Technology
Companies (TEDAE) suggest that the level
of investment in R&D in the space sector is
double that of the rest of Spanish industry.
The strong multiplication effect the space
industry has proven to have within the
Spanish economy is also very significant,
due to the cutting-edge technology it
develops and the numerous applications
that satellites have at present. Examples
include the fields of navigation (GPS),
weather forecasting and satellite television
(DTH). At the same time, it is important
to consider its vocation of highly qualified
personnel, based on very specialised

engineers and technicians, as well as its
multidisciplinary core. Finally, and no less
importantly, the Spanish space sector
is an export and production group.
Almost 80% of its turnover is targeted at
exporting products and services, which

Spain. Furthermore, from the productivity
viewpoint, measured as gross added value
per employed person, the sector posted
over 106,000 euros in 2012, compared to
the average of 53,000 euros for Spanish
industry as a whole.
Considering the value chain they generate,
within the space sector it is common
to distinguish between upstream and
downstream markets.The first covers
research, defence and security programmes,
as well as the industry dedicated to building
ground segment facilities (satellite control
centres) and flight segment platforms
(launchers, satellites, craft, probes, etc.).
Downstream market activity focuses on
operators who manage space facilities and
equipment for civil or military use and satellite
applications or services or those based on
space technology such as telecommunications
(television, radio, mobile phones and
broadband), navigation equipment (GPS,
Galileo) and remote sensing.
We have more than 35 space-related
companies in Spain, from continental
behemoths like Airbus Defence and Space
to small businesses with just two or three
enthusiastic and pioneering engineers,
such as PLD Space, a startup born in a
laboratory in Valencia which is working on
the first Spanish liquid-propellant rocket
targeted at suborbital missions.
Airbus Defence and Space is a good
example of what the space industry can
do here at home. The heir of the historic
CASA-Espacio, the Spanish division of the
European multinational has prospered
considerably in the past 10 years. It started
out developing projects of relatively little
value but as these challenges were met
and it gradually integrated into Europe,
the division now builds very competitive
medium-sized satellites and is a player on
the tempestuous international market.
Airbus D&S is, for example, the lead
contractor with Paz, a Spanish radar
satellite due to be launched from Russia
in 2015 and which is part of the National
Earth Observation Programme (PNOTS),
signed by the Ministries of Defence and
Industry in 2007. All the technology
developed in Paz, and especially in its
partner satellite, the Seosat/Ingenio optical
satellite, enabled Airbus to win the
Cheops contract, a medium-sized platform

designed to find planets outside of our
solar system. Cheops is nothing short
of an industrial milestone, being the first
European Space Agency (ESA) satellite to
be built in Spain. Bidding for the contract
was strong and included competitors such
as the British company Surrey Satellite,
which specialises in this type of low-cost
platform.
The name SENER is also associated
with success and experience in space. Its
commitment to technology has made
it a benchmark supplier of engineering
and production services in three fields
of activity: precision mechanisms, optical
systems and Guidance, Navigation and
Control (GNC) systems. SENER has
delivered over 260 pieces of equipment
and systems which have been successfully
launched on satellites and space vehicles
for agencies including NASA, the ESA,
Japan’s JAXA and Russia’s Roskosmos. It
took part in the Gaia mission, the Curiosity
vehicle sent to Mars and the now-famous
Rosetta probe, as well as in weather and
science satellites. The latest result of this
pursuit of innovation was the signing of the
contract for the Proba-3 mission, making
this company, originally established in the
Basque Country, the first Spanish firm to
lead a complete ESA mission.
GMV, which recently celebrated its 30th
anniversary, also warrants a place in this
commentary, as it is the world’s leading
supplier of ground control systems for
commercial telecommunications satellite
operators. It is also the leading Spanish
company and the third in Europe in terms
of participation in the development of
the Galileo satellite navigation system,
developing key elements in the ground

segment. Its activities include satellite
control centres, flight dynamics, mission
planning and data processing. One of its
star products, launched in October 2013,
goes by the name of platform-art; it is an
advanced robotic laboratory for testing
space systems and missions, the first of its
type to be set up in Europe.
Within this variety of business profiles, of
note is Elecnor Deimos, which operates
out of Puertollano (Ciudad Real) and
is the owner of the Deimos-2, the first
very high resolution (VHR) Spanish Earth
observation satellite. Its characteristics make
it capable of taking images with a precision
of 75 centimetres per pixel.The Deimos-2,
developed in collaboration with South Korean
firm Satrec-I, is the private satellite with the
greatest resolution in Europe. Launched in
June, it has been fully operational from the
commercial viewpoint since November and
can be used in applications such as extensive
agriculture, crisis control and civil protection,
the environment, territorial organisation and

defence, intelligence and border control. Its
most important clients include the Spanish
Home Office and the US Department of
Agriculture.
Unlike groups such as Hispasat, which only
operates satellites, Deimos is present in
all phases of the placing in orbit of these

types of artefacts: design, construction,
launch, operation, tracking and commercial
exploitation. It is also experienced, as it
already has a remote sensing platform in
space, the Deimos-1, whose service life is
about to expire.
Hispasat, for its part, is a heavyweight
firm in the national space sector. It is
eighth in the world ranking of satellite
operators, while at the regional level it is
the fourth-largest firm in terms of revenue
in Latin America, where it has the Brazilian
subsidiary Hispamar, with which it operates
various orbit positions, competing with
major multinationals like Intelsat, Eutelsat
and SES.
Hispasat, which was established in 1989 to
cover the Barcelona Olympics, today has
seven satellites (including the Amazonas
4A which is not operative), as well as the
ones controlled by its affiliate Hisdesat. For
late 2015 it plans to deploy the Hispasat
AG-1 based on a new, more versatile and
modern electrical propulsion platform,
and one year later expects to launch
the Hispasat 1F, which should replace
the Hispasat 1D. Its ambitious business
plans involve the consolidation of the
Latin American market and expansion to
potential clients in the east of the planet,
where there is a strong fragmentation
of operators in Asia, Eastern Europe, the
Middle East and Australia.
The list is completed with zero2infinity,
a good representative of what we could
call New Space, i.e., space technology
companies which prefer to do business
without having to depend on public
administration contracts (NASA, ESA,
governments). For the past five years,
this Catalan startup has been running
near-space balloon flights with technical,
scientific and commercial tools at a height
of more than 30 kilometres. Now it is

tourism market, against such well-known
and powerful brands as Virgin Galactic.
The difference is that this firm proposes
making suborbital flights in a stratospheric
balloon called a bloon, which is not a
conventionally propelled craft, thus
avoiding the discomforts of gravitational
force. It works with around 10 to 12
travel agencies and already has a booked
ticket number it prefers not to disclose for
voyages that could sell for 110,000 euros
each. zero2infinity is presently seeking
national and foreign funding to make
its first manned flight in 2015 or 2016
from Cordoba, where it has already run
a number of engine trials. And it has just
announced that it will design the Bloostar
project, a launch vehicle specifically for
nanosatellites, in other words, those that
weigh between one and 10 kilos, which
would use a balloon in a preliminary
phase, with the rockets being ignited in a
gravity-free environment, thus saving costs
through reduced fuel spend.

functions), local substations (which collect
information, execute control algorithms
and send orders to the actuators) and a
data transmission network (configurable
with any physical medium on the market,
adaptable to the ship’s characteristics).
It uses a distributed (not centralised) and
redundant architecture with the same
functionality for all operator consoles,
making it possible to distribute platform
management among any combination of
operator consoles you desire. The main
purpose is to ensure that the platform
status information is accessible from any
console.
The control of each service is assigned to
a single console and only users with the
category of supervisor are able to vary this
assignation.
All of the ships in the Spanish Navy have

Land Search and
Reconnaissance System (LSRS)
A modern, cutting-edge and multifunctional
design adaptable to any vehicle and mission
and fully integrated with the other vehicle
systems. It is equipped with the following
systems:
• Battlefield Search Electro-Optical (EO)
System for target location based on latestgeneration EO sensors, both passive (IR,
visible) and active (laser).
• Navigation and Driving Assistance System.
• Integrated Self-Protection System with
small arms (7.62 or 12.70) remote control.
• Battlefield Management System, with
automatic tools to aid the specific mission.
It makes it possible to perform surveillance,
detection and target identification functions
during the day, at night or under conditions
of reduced visibility. Plus, the integrated
positioning sensors can locate targets
geographically with extraordinary precision,
automating the process, cutting mission
times and improving observer efficacy.
The goal is to provide the vehicle with
all-time operability and, compared to
< Complete stand of the

current systems, is based on the use of a
high-resolution uncooled infrared detector
with a navigation system (inert or GPS). This
makes it possible to present customised
information inside the vehicle on the route,
next points along the way, vehicle status, etc.,
and equip it with a Self-Protection System
without the server being outside the vehicle.
Other system benefits:
– Modular, so you can install small arms (7.62
or 12.70), allowing common use of equipment
and systems with other Defence programmes,
without compromising mission requirements.
– Improves precision, saving on ammunition.
IPMS Functions:
• Surveillance and Alarms: presentation of analogue and digital information, sensor
diagnostics and communications, presentation of alarms and trend diagrams.
• Safety: those that produce stoppages in machinery or equipment with no operator
intervention when their operating conditions could jeopardise their integrity.
• Issue orders: an order can generate a sequence of automatic actions that cause a
platform status.
• Data filing: there are data storage units which collect equipment operating
parameters and incidents.
• Others: navigation data, video surveillance, stability and power calculations, day/
night lighting of synoptic charts, online aid, email, video conferencing and onboard
entertainment systems.
Joint use of the LSRS and the support
weapons’ units (mortars and cannons)
makes it possible to revitalise these units
and elevate them to an extraordinary level
of precision and speed of action.
Command and Control
Systems (CCS)
SCOMBA is a version for the Spanish Navy,
installed in its most modern vessels, such as
the BAM series, the LHD Juan Carlos I and
the supply ship in combat Cantabria. It was
developed on the basis of the F100 frigates,
with an important contribution from the
Spanish Navy, collecting its doctrine and
a specific information and intelligence
management in line with its requirements.
It also has an export line, called CATIZ,
which includes the functionality of an
advanced C2 starting from the SCOMBA
reference and its other developments
such as a proven system, feeding from
the experience of its operative use in
Spanish Navy vessels and at the same
time prepared to be offered to fleets
that require it, adjusting to their specific
requirements.
It is a modular system that can be adapted
to different combat system configurations,
including new ships and modernisations. It
capabilities include mission control, tactical
information management, classification and

modular nature guarantees the reusability
of the developments and the ability to offer
updates with new capabilities to its various
customers.
The incorporation of an inhouse CCS
(and other systems) is key to optimally
guaranteeing customer satisfaction
throughout the ship’s service life, both

Navantia a technical benchmark capable of
adapting design, production and acquisitions
to the ship’s building strategy.
The Integrated Communications Control
System (ICCS) centralises, controls,
supervises and administers the vessel’s
communication resources.
Because of increasingly more demanding
tactical scenarios, the system has evolved
at the same time as automatic telephone
systems, whose functioning is very similar,
from manual commutation to analogue
automatic commutation, from these to
TDM (Time Division Multiplex) digital
commutation and finally to those based on
an IP (Internet Protocol) platform.
For this latter generational leap, Navantia
Sistemas has decided to develop and make
available a product called HERMESYS based
on COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) units
to reduce prices and boost process power.

• Training mode.
HERMESYS makes it possible to nationalise
a system which until now was exclusively
a foreign production, as it permits
NAVCOMS products to have a larger
component of national industry.
At present it has a development platform
with an important number of engineers
who specialise in software and hardware
development, which has been equipped
with real units (transceivers, coders,
modems, message handling system,
analogue simulators). This platform permits
the implementation of new capabilities and
will allow the debugging and testing of the
software versions required for each ship.
‘Dorna’ Fire Control
DORNA is a distributed and modular
weapons’ control system that can be
adapted to different ships, combat
systems, weapons and sensors, including
multiweapon and multisensor support. It is
currently in service on Spanish Navy ships
and those of other countries.
The EO and REO versions are completely
integrated with the C2 CATIZ to ensure
defence against air and surface threats and
provides primary surveillance, combat,
maintenance and training functions.
The DORNA Fire Control system has
been integrated in and is operative with
OM 76 mm, MK 45, MK 42, BAE 57 mm
and other naval artillery assemblies and can
be configured for any type of cannon or,
where applicable, point-defence missiles.

The ASCOD - national
development with an
international impact
s
anta Bárbara Sistemas, part of the
European group General Dynamics, is
a leader in the defence industry and, in
particularly, an authority on the design
and manufacture of tested and versatile
tracks and wheels platforms. Its
international vocation positions it amongst
the main suppliers of systems and solutions
for the world’s most modern Armed
Forces, and its products, whether ASCOD
tracked armoured vehicles, wheeled
armoured vehicles such as the Piraña 5,
or artillery systems 155/52 SIAC,
they are highly regarded on the
international market.
Its solid track record in serving and
satisfying its clients makes Santa Bárbara
Sistemas a privileged partner to deliver
solutions on the designs, development and
production of armoured and armour-plated
tracked and wheeled systems, as well as on
their upgrading.
38/Spain_2015
We are specifically talking about the ASCOD
family of tracked vehicles, based on the
experience and know-how gained from
the Pizarro programme of the Spanish
Army. The Spanish and Austrian Armies
already have over 300 units of this vehicle
in service, which is known as Pizarro in Spain
and Ulan in Austria, with different versions
to respond to the most demanding and
complex missions. Furthermore, the
ASCOD was an international winner of the
SV Programme (Specialist Vehicle) of the
Ministry of Defence of the United Kingdom,

consolidating it as the tracked vehicle of
the future and laying down the principles to
ensure its ongoing evolution.
From 30 to 42 tons
Last September the British Ministry of
Defence took a decisive step forward by
signing a contract to manufacture 589
SV platforms in six variants, meaning this
vehicle is on track to become a central
part of British armour-plated units in the
21st century. As part of the arrangement,
Santa Bárbara Sistemas will supply all of
the landing crafts, running gear, engines and
other components of the series. It will also
be responsible for the assembly, integration
and testing of the first 100 units, with
an option for integrating and testing the
existing platforms in Spain too.
The SV platform has been developed
based on the experience gained through
the ASCOD family of vehicles up to 42 tons.
It includes different variants such as SCOUT
(with turret and 40 mm cannon), PMRS
(personnel carrier), Repair and Recovery.
To ensure the maturity of the systems,
almost 5,000 drawings and over 80
technical documents have been produced,
as well as 10.000 of kilometres for tests
and trials of all kinds.
The ASCOD family, which includes 30
to 42-ton models, is ready for modular
adaptation to present and future
technologies and to respond to the most
demanding mission profiles.
>PIRAÑA provides

One example of this versatility is the 35ton display presented by Santa Bárbara
Sistemas to the tender opened by the
Danish Ministry of Defence to replace the
age-old M-113s in service. The ASCODDK has successfully passed the tough field
trials performed in mid 2014 and has
demonstrated its off-road suitability and
capacity for growth as a future platform,
thanks to its new features such as rubber
tracks and other sub-systems.
Piraña 5, maximum survival
< ASCOD is certified with maximum

In the area of armoured wheeled vehicles,
Santa Bárbara Sistemas also has longstanding experience in the design and
manufacture of a broad range of platforms
from 8 to 33 tons, manufactured at various
sites in Spain, Switzerland and Austria that
have demonstrated their capacities in zones
of operations as harsh and unforgiving as,
for instance, Afghanistan.
With over 10,000 units across the world,
the development of the Piraña family,
a product used for over 30 years in
operations in more than 20 nations, is
constantly evolving, as version 5 of this
platform shows.
< Spanish armored tracked vehicles
‘Pizarro’, ASCOD family. >
The vehicle offers a wide variety of unique
capabilities such as modular protection
and a large loading capacity, as well as a
high-level of versatility for adding various
weaponry systems. The Piraña 5 is a
demonstration of its unprecedented
superiority in survival, mobility and firing
capacity for this kind of armoured vehicle.
Its modular designs allows for quick
adaptation to a great variety of roles from troop carrier to electronic warfare,
ambulance or forward observer.

built-up areas.
This development, for which there is
financial support from the Ministry of
Defence in addition to the company’s own
funds, allows us to expand the operation of
the C90 system to practically all scenarios.
In keeping with the C90 philosophy, the
C90-CS is a very lightweight disposable
weapons / ammunitions system that is just
as easy to use as the other C90s, with a day

A fourth aspect to solve was that rocket
propulsion could not be employed, as had
been standard amongst bazookas and on
the C90. To that end, INSTALAZA uses the
principle of the Davis gun or counter mass
weapon, making it possible to fire from
closed spaces.
With the ALCOTAN-100 system
now consolidated and also in
service in other countries, the
company is using its own funds and
an enhanced use of its technological
and industrial heritage for new
developments. INSTALAZA is
increasing the range of the VOSEL
(M2) fire system, making it possible
to fire against area targets at
distances of more than 1,000
metres away. This feature will be
very attractive for its use with
current bivalent ammunition, due
to its fragmentation effects, but
even more significantly with a new
ammunition under development which is
described below.
This is a new ammunition with a
powerful fragmentation warhead which is
programmed from the VOSEL firing control
to detonate either on impact with the
target or when it is flying over a target at
distances of even more than 1,000 metres,
a distance which has been exactly measured
by the VOSEL itself. This application is very
important to bring down far-off or disperse
targets, or even ones protected behind walls,
etc., which stop them from being seen and
subsequently attacked directly.

and stone to form concrete are two clear
examples of the use of composite materials,
in this case in the world of construction.
It was not until the 1960s that the
advanced and developed use of modern
composite materials became important,
due to their high performance as
alternatives to conventional materials.
>The aerospace
sector presents a
great opportunity
for the use of these
types of materials,
where weight is a key
factor in making
an aircraft
Some of the earliest applications are
found in industrial sectors like shipping
and aerospace, energy and construction,
fostered by the search for highly rigid
materials which were at the same time
much more lightweight than traditional
ones. Their more extensive use is due to
composite materials with a reinforced
polymeric matrix, mainly fibreglass and
carbon. The latter became popular because
of the development of carbon fibre in
the United Kingdom and other materials
such as boron (very high resistance) in
the United States. The most important
properties of carbon fibre composites
include their high mechanical resistance
(comparable to steel), their formidable
fatigue behaviour and, finally, their lightness,
being considerably lighter even than light
metal alloys such as aluminium ones.
That explains why the aerospace sector
presents a great opportunity to use these
types of materials, where aerostructure

weight is a key factor in making an aircraft.
The introduction of composite materials
in the military sector. For example, in
the early 1970s, the composite content
in F-15 fighter craft was 2% of the total
mass, but the figure grew to 27% in just a
decade, with the Boeing AV-8B. A slower
evolution was recorded in civil aviation,
where the A320 had a 10% mass content
in the mid-1980s and there was a similar
percentage in the A340 series (12%) in the
early 2000s. It was not until 2006 that the
use of composites shot up to around 25%
in the A380, reaching more than 50% for
the A350-900 XWB (Airbus) and the 787
Dreamliner (Boeing).
The latest forecasts from the aircraft
industry speak to an annual growth of
around 3.7% in the worldwide aircraft fleet.
It is estimated that approximately 31,400
new craft will be required by the year
2033 to cover the needs of both the rise
in passenger demand and the replacement
of aircraft which will be put out of service.
The composite materials market already

of 10.6 million metric tonnes around the
world, and the figures have been growing at
an annual rate of some 6% in recent years.
2014 forecasts suggest a new rise, largely
due to the increasing use of composite
materials in new fields and sectors, but also
the intensification of their use in others
where they are already applied, such as the
aircraft industry.
Spain has been one of the pioneers in
composite industrialisation and has become
a reference point for its development and
use in the aviation sector. The Spanish
industry decided to implement the use of
composites in the A300 tail stabiliser back
in the early 1970s. There is no question
that this effort put Spain on the map from
the start of composite materials.
Today our country has significant expertise
and long-standing experience thanks to
the work of a large number of companies,
factories and research centres that
specialise in this area. They include the
Airbus Group and a number of its Spanish
plants, such as the Bahía de Cádiz Centre,
belonging to its affiliate Airbus Defence
& Space and sited at El Puerto de Santa
María (Cádiz), and the Composite Materials
Centre in Illescas, in Toledo province.
However, these activities truly began with

> s p a n i s h te c h n o l o g y /c o m p o s i t e s
the former Construcciones Aeronáuticas
CASA, today part of the European aircraft
group. I must also mention the company’s
high technological level to make space
shuttle parts in carbon fibre because of the
old CASA-ESPACIO (today Airbus Defence
& Space).
There are also a further three major
national references and aerostructure
suppliers such as Aernnova, Alestis
Aerospace and Aciturri, with a great many
plants across the country and a significant
international presence. Plus there are
firms such as Sofitec, Carbures, Aeropoxy
(part of the Andalusian aerospace cluster)
among many others, assembly and tool
manufacturers, suppliers of composite
material manufacturing machinery like
MTorres, inspection system developers
and manufacturers, such as Tecnatom, and
firms that specialise in structural tests,
for example TEAMS in Andalusia. The
big aircraft builders (not just Airbus, but
also Boeing, Bombardier, Embraer, etc.)
are increasingly committing to Spanish
companies’ experience and know-how in
composites and the new technologies being
researched and developed in technology
and research centres across the country. In
this regard, it is also important to mention
centres that research the manufacturing
and tests of composite materials, such
as FIDAMC, the Tecnalia Foundation and
the CTA in the Basque country (among
many others), and the role that Spanish
universities have played.
The CATEC Advanced Centre for
Aerospace Technologies has joined forces
with the latter group in the past five years,
supporting the aerospace industry by
developing inspection and test technologies
and supporting the manufacturing of
composite materials. In collaboration with
these trailblazing companies, numerous
research projects have been developed
that cover issues such as the viability and
industrialisation of inspection technologies
using non-contact methods, manufacturing

faults and defects analyses using
computerised tomography, structural health
monitoring, the development of inspection
technologies using ultrasounds and wireless
encoders, ageing and structure tests in
composite materials, and the automation of
aeronautical processes, among others.
Additive Manufacturing
In addition to the various developments
in composite materials, Spanish industry
is beginning to support the development
of additive manufacturing technology.
This allows for drastic weight reductions
in metal aerostructures using topological
optimisation processes. Metal parts can
be made around 60% lighter without
sacrificing any of the performance of the
original. Although topological optimisation
processes have been used for decades,
the appearance of a technology like AM
represents a very favourable sphere for the
implementation of these types of processes.
Its high flexibility in terms of geometries
makes it possible to design parts with a
high degree of functionalisation, designs
that were previously infeasible using
conventional manufacturing methods. The
aircraft and space sector present great
possibilities for the implementation of
AM technology, delivering a major impact
in terms of efficiency and, of course,
economics in a part’s life cycle. In particular,
in the space industry the cost of a kilo of
payload is put at around €20,000, so any
reduction in mass represents a considerable
benefit.
The process for certifying this technology
in the aerospace sector has accelerated in
the past year. Although currently applied
to secondary structures, it is expected that
the technology will also be certified in the
near future for use in primary structures,
in this case subject to mechanical fatigue.
That is why numerous research projects
are under development, led by cutting-edge
companies and Tier 1 suppliers.
One case of application consists of the
collaboration between FADA-CATEC and
Airbus Defence & Space (formerly CASAESPACIO), who have been rolling out a
research project since 2013 that focuses
on applying this technology to space shuttle
parts for the European Space Agency. It
involves not just making and optimising
individual parts but manufacturing a complete
system, including its functional and mechanical
evaluation. It also covers the development
of non-destructive test technologies and
manufacturing process monitoring strategies,
material procurement and surface finish
improvements, among others.

EMC ARPA
The outcome of
rigorous R&D in
container platforms
t
he use of container platforms for logistics
solutions brought innumerable advantages to
military deployments in areas of operation,
enabling greater safety and traceability in
transport, along with improvements in tent
storage, faster assembly of warehouses and
specialised fuel areas, bulk water for supply,
treatment and subsequent distribution, and
all the specialities of energy production,
safety, healthcare and field kitchen systems,
among others.
Of course it is important to also mention
the improvement in user comfort, in
different hygiene versions such as living
spaces, toilets, showers and mess halls.
< Kitchen MC-2 in shelter,
Chilean Army. >
Additionally, the equipment’s service life
was extended even though the nature of
its use meant it had to be subjected to
tough tests both in terms of wear during
use and the atmospheric agents to which it
must be exposed, as high quality materials
are employed in its manufacturing, both in
terms of structure and finishes.
the application doubles or even triples that
of the container in transport, making it
possible to achieve surfaces with expansive
work areas where you can install highly
advanced systems such as medical gas
systems, telecommunications connections,
air-conditioning systems, etc., for a multitude
of both civil and military uses.
A further step is achieved with expandable
container solutions, products where ARPA
rolls out a large part of its R&D within
different spheres of application.
ARPA develops a number of systems
on a container that make it possible to
have different logistics solutions with an
expanded work area so that, even though
the sizes during transportation are those
of an ISO 20’ container, once deployed you
get 22 or 34 square metres of usable area.
The principal benefit of these types of
containers is that the end useful area of
Plus, all the elements needed to use them
are transported and travel inside the
container itself, without exceeding the
standard dimensions, ensuring that the
system is protected when it travels and
facilitating its carriage using standardised
methods.
< Command post,
Spanish Air Force. >
ARPA expandable container solutions
allow great leak tightness inside the living
space, meaning they can be used in adverse
weather conditions. This makes them
particularly efficient for medical needs,
such as use as a field surgery, intensive
care ward, laboratory or sterilisation
room, for which they also have a technical
area inside them which includes all of the
necessary technical facilities: medicinal gases,
telecommunications and air-conditioning
systems.
2015_Spain /45
Another important feature of ARPA’s
expandable infrastructures is their assembly
speed, as they can be ready to use in just
a few minutes, and they include levelling
systems so they can be set up on practically
any terrain.
Both for their quality and versatility these
systems have been incorporated in the
equipment of, among others, the Spanish
Army and the armies of Argentina and
Chile in the ‘Cruz del Sur’ Combined
Peace Force, with applications such as an
Operations Room, Senior Staff Room,
Hospitalisation Room, Telecommunications
Centre and Command Post.
< Laboratory
facilities. >
Side by Side system
A further solution ARPA has developed
is the Side-by-Side system which makes
it possible to join two or more ISO 20’
containers together and which is applied
particularly to the successful field kitchen
on the ARPA MC2 container.
The system’s efficacy, together with the
great-quality finish and functioning of this
kitchen, has seen its FFSS model be used
by the United States Marine Corps, the
Spanish Army and many others.
Another of the ARPA modular ranges is
the modular containers that are stored
and transported disassembled in 1/3 the
container size, making them easy to stack
and move.
< Command post,
Spanish Air Force. >
Comprising a sandwich panel and reinforced
iron structure, they can have an air-conditioning
system, windows, doors, electricity and water
systems or a drainage system, providing for an
infinity of logistics and sanitary applications.
These modules have been used, for example,
to set up border control positions in the
Dominican Republic.
They can also be attached at the sides,
making it possible to create larger
infrastructures to create sleeping quarters,
mess halls and field medical centres and
hospitals. Plus, because they can be stacked
double height, you can create modular
accommodation areas of great quality and
comfort.
By adding air-conditioning, lighting, sanitation
facilities with toilets and showers, communal
relaxation areas, offices and kitchens with a
fridge, you can make a modular ensemble
that is quick to install and which delivers
maximum performance for troops in transit
or at refugee camps.
Their modular nature allows for the creation
of successive expansions of accommodation
areas for thousands of people.
The combination of the different systems,
i.e., expandable containers, the side-by-side
system and ARPA modular systems and their
related specialities satisfy any requirement
our customers can have.
< Operating room facilities. >
46/Spain_2015
ARPA’s vocation is to create comprehensive
and turnkey logistics solutions and to
continue to work on its R&D areas to
improve the systems, especially the efficacy
of their operation under extreme weather
conditions, and the ease of their deployment.

optimises its service life, and the reuse
of some of its parts and components to

Avionics and Secure

To talk about Avionics at TECNOBIT is
to talk about the main pillar on which the
company has been growing and solidly
establishing its name, seeking participation in
major Spanish and European programmes
to be able to offer aviation electronics to the
market both in terms of its own products,
developed from the very initial phase, and
those developed by other companies and
subsequently produced by TECNOBIT.

In the area of tactical link communications,
of note is the LINPRO system, a Multi
Link Processor supplied to various Armed

c
ompeting on the defence systems and
airspace management market is within
the reach of very few companies. It is
essential to have a global business size and
proven technological capacity in the civil
and defence spheres alike. Indra is one of
the multinationals that form part of this
exclusive club, as has been demonstrated
this past year with contracts such as
the one to supply deployable air-traffic
management systems to the Australian Air
Force and the implementation of the air
defence system of Oman, among others.
Controlling the airspace is an essential part
of a country’s sovereignty, just as important
as land borders and jurisdictional waters.
This control, like the other two mentioned,
presents the dual aspects of lawful transit
and its safeguarding, i.e., air traffic control
and the air defence component.
Airspace regulation is a transnational
matter which exceeds the unilateral
decisions that a particular country can
take within the exercise of its sovereignty,
having to adapt to a regulatory framework
which guarantees efficient and safe
management of air traffic and involves the
maximum level of stringency regarding the
technologies used, as well as the companies
>Indra, with a top-level
offering in civil segment
of air traffic control and
the air defence segment
has the ideal profile to
obtain maximum benefit
from the synergies
which derive from the
two worlds
that supply and develop them. This point
guarantees the robustness of sector
companies and is also a strong barrier to
the entrance of new players.
In the defence component, the level
of stringency is even more important
because of the confluence of the lack of
cooperation inherent to unlawful flights
and the consequences of any defensive
action, which involves various cycles of
confirmation before being undertaken.
Civil and defence technology
In this sector, the list of companies
recognised at a global level is quite small
and stable and, to a certain extent, immune
to the vagaries that affect other areas of
information technologies. Indra, with a
renowned top-level offering in both the
civil segment of air traffic control, with the
implementation of systems on the five
continents, and the air defence segment,
with solid references in the NATO and
non-NATO environment, has the ideal
2015_Spain /49
> s p a n i s h t e c h n o l o g y / I C Ts
profile to obtain maximum benefit from
the synergies which derive from the two
worlds: radar detectors, command and
control and communications.
Today, and in the area that concerns us,
as well as the abovementioned technical
competence, it is necessary to add proven
export capacity in a segment where a
company must compete in a global world.
Together with Indra, a small club of no
more than four of the leading multinational
defence companies regularly compete in
the main international tenders.
Other factors play an important role in this
export effort, such as local implementation
and institutional backing. Training is
therefore needed to play the game in
accordance with these rules and to break
onto the international market protected by
a solid institutional coverage which usually
turns out to be the sole guarantee of being
able to compete under equal conditions.
The perception of this reality has taken
hold in our institutions in an increasingly
obvious fashion in recent years, with their
presence becoming a rising value via
embassies and support for the commercial
action of the country’s companies in their
role of launch customer and reference user.
< Mobile Radar
Lanza 3D. >
Similarly, the growing international
implementation of Spanish companies
means that progressively more operations
can be managed with a strong local
component with regards the end customer,
bringing them the value of a close
approach, accessibility, understanding of the
scenario and even the culture. In this regard,
the competitive positioning of companies
that are expanding internationally is also
taking on growing importance.
Two recent success stories:
Australia and Oman
Indra has had notable success in recent years
both in the world of air traffic control and
air defence, and most of them have been
preceded by some of the destabilising factors
mentioned, in addition to the technical
competence which is taken for granted. In
both disciplines, the national customer as a
reference customer and explicit institutional
backing in this regard have been key factors in
the majority of the competitive processes.
Equally, one-third of the world’s airspace
today is in one way or another controlled
by systems deployed by Indra, an expansion
that goes hand-in-hand with the expansion
of the company itself in its implementation
in different geographical areas where its
systems are operating.
< Simulator
Air Control Tower. >
50/Spain_2015
The most recent example is Australia.
Indra will supply three deployable air
traffic management systems to the Royal
Australian Air Force (RAAF). The systems
will allow the RAAF’s Joint Battlefield
Airspace Controller (JBAC) teams to have
a top-level air surveillance capacity of the
air space and traffic control, adapted to a
highly mobile and deployable environment.
The delivery of these systems forms the
basis of a contract signed between the
Defence Materiel Organisation and Indra
for a total amount of $AUS50 million.
>The radars are coupled with this airspace management capability into a
flexible and scalable operations support segment encompassing integrated
ground/air communications and standard and expandable shelters
Central element: tactical
LANZA-3D radar
Central to the system is Indra’s tactical
LANZA-3D radar, a dual-purpose 3D
L-Band primary surveillance radar. The
system complies with International Civil
Aviation Organisation regulations while
also offering the advantages of a full
3D military radar capable of enhanced
electronic counter-counter measures for
the highest survivability. The LANZA radar
is complemented with the latest generation

for the dual use control and management
of air traffic in deployed environments. It
will assist this force in managing airspace
within Australian or overseas, in humanitarian
assistance and disaster relief missions, either
when operating independently or integrated
with allies.
The combination of mobility, modularity,
performance and world leading technology
ensures that these systems will be at the

information and recording playback. Indra’s
fully interoperable ATM automation is a
world leader with proven service supporting
more than 8 million IFR controlled flights
annually and used by more than 5,000 air
traffic control officers worldwide.
The radars are coupled with this airspace
management capability into a flexible
and scalable operations support segment
encompassing integrated ground/
air communications and standard and
expandable shelters, which provide the
operational space conducive to long
deployments in demanding operational
theatres and harsh environments
where the company is deploying a radar
network that covers the eastern area of
the country to assist en-route air traffic and
is the largest supplier of radio navigation
systems for Airservices, the Australian
navigation service provider.
Following a similar model, the company also
has a strong position in the Military & Civil
Air Traffic Management market throughout
the region, with solutions deployed in
Oman, where this year it won an important
contract to deploy an air defence system

forefront of worldwide deployable air
management capability for decades to come.
In an associated and indissoluble manner
to this new contract, Indra will boost its
workforce in Australia, a country where
it has had its headquarters in Sydney and
offices in Newcastle since winning a contract
to provide its tactical communications
systems to the RAAF air controllers since
2012. Indra’s implementation in the country
did not, however, begin with defence
contracts, but rather in the civil market,
based on its Lanzar radar, as well as in
Indonesia, China, Mongolia, Vietnam,
Philippines and India, among other countries.
This expansion confirms the validity of an
export model which has already made Indra
a reference point within other areas in the
same supply segments, such as Latin America,
where it is the market leader.

terms of both speed and altitude. It is
the ideal airlifter to fulfil the most varied
requirements of any nation around the
globe in terms of military, humanitarian
and any other “civic” mission for the
benefit of society.
The A400M was launched in 2003 to
respond to the combined needs of seven
European Nations regrouped within
OCCAR (Belgium, France, Germany,
Luxemburg, Spain, Turkey and the UK),
with Malaysia joining in 2005. This is one
of the major reasons for its extreme
versatility. Its maiden flight took place on
11th December 2009.
Light and medium transport aircraft
Airbus Defence and Space is the only
supplier of transport aircraft to produce a
comprehensive range of airlifters offering
payloads from three to 45 tonnes. In the
light and medium tactical segment it is
the world-leader through its family of
three models –the C212, CN235 and
C295– offering from three to nine tonnes
of payload.
The operational qualities built into
the aircraft make them not only the
most capable machines for typical
military missions, but also give them the

versatility to undertake that growing
group of non-defence tasks that may
be described as “civic” missions. These
include humanitarian aid, but also law
enforcement, surveillance, search and
rescue (SAR), environmental control and
many others.

the ten satellites in this new constellation
receiving AIS signals from the over
90,000 vessels that are equipped with
this system. The data are then relayed to
ground stations, where the information
is collated in accordance with the
requirements of the users. This system
will provide an accurate picture of the
world’s maritime traffic in real time.
This information can be of great use to
government, maritime, port and fishing

SENER is an engineering and technology
group founded in 1956 that is known
worldwide for providing excellent projects
and innovative solutions. In defense,
SENER carries out engineering, production
and integration of mechatronics, actuation
and control systems for missiles and
precision electrical mechanisms; GNC
systems, especially semi-active laser
systems; optical systems (ISR-related
technology). In addition, it produces and
maintains its own complete series of the
product throughout its entire life cycle.
It also provides systems integration in
aircraft and vehicles as well as updates and
extension of their operational life.
Naval Strike Missile (NSM)
One of the main references in this field
is the missile IRIS-T in both its air-to-air
(AA) and air defense (Surface Launch, SL)
versions, in which SENER is the design
authority and only supplier of the control
and actuation sections (CAS) for the
German Dielh. SENER is also responsible
for the redesign production and delivery
of the Meteor missile FAS (Fin Actuation
System) for MBDA. Regarding the cruise
missile Taurus KEPD 350, SENER
manufactures the control series units
of the fin actuation subsystem (FASS).
In this program, SENER has signed an
agreement with South Korea to suply 179
missile actuator subsystem units to the
air force. Likewise, SENER has produced
and delivered the actuation and control

developed by the company Kongsberg
Defence & Aerospace. Finally, SENER
also participates with the company Saab
Dynamics in its RBS 70 NG
system as design authority and sole
supplier of the stabilized mirror unit (SMU).
In ISR (intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance) SENER has devised
SAGEOS, a very high performanced
electro-optical sensor platform.
Furthermore, it has developed and
supplied solutions for the image and
video signal treatment and processing,
especially for recognition systems used
in different countries for several aircraft
fleets. It has also implemented COMINT
(communications intelligence) and SIGINT
(signals intelligence) solutions.
In defense systems integration, SENER, as
the prime contractor of the TAURUS missile
for Spain, had an important participation
in the integration of the cruise missile in
the EF-18 as well as in the support to the
Spanish Air Force in the achievement of
the initial operational capability (IOC) of
this system, including production of auxiliary
equipment and support at the initial test
firing campaign conducted in South Africa.
Currently, SENER continues to collaborate
with the Spanish Air Force in life cycle
support for this missile.
In aeronautics and vehicles, the company
is carrying out a modernization program of
the Augusta Bell 212 (AB212) helicopters
of the Spanish Navy that will extend
their operational life at least fifteen
years, and that will incorporate latest
generation avionics and systems, which
will considerably improve their operational
capabilities. Likewise, it has also developed
vehicle solutions for defense applications
such as the heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning (HVAC) program for combat
vehicles operating in desert environments.
METEOR program at SENER facilities.
Finally, in the military naval field, SENER
has a CAD/CAM system, FORAN, for
the design and production of ships and
offshore devices which has been selected
by clients like Navantia shipyards, BAE
Systems, ASMAR in Chile, Severnoye in
Russia or the Brazilian Navy to design
military ships. Among them is worth
mentioning BAE Systems’ HMS Queen
Elizabeth, the aircraft carrier for the Royal
Navy, and the submarine series Successor,
which is the largest engineering project in
Europe for the last decade.
In addition, SENER has signed an industrial
agreement with HDW for the production
of an air independent propulsion (AIP)
system for submarines based on a
methanol reformer. SENER is responsible
for developing, among others, the CO2
subsystem capable of dissolving gases in
seawater silently and without any influence
on the signature of the submarine in terms
of noise and bubbles.
