The meeting focused on the joint development of aerospace technologies, oriented to unmanned autonomous vehicles, as well as technologies oriented to anti-drone systems and the possibility of analyzing and experimenting these developments in the ATLAS facilities in Villacarrillo.
On Thursday 21 November we held our 2nd Annual Conference on Technological Trends, which in this new edition focused on ‘Technologies and Opportunities in the Space Industry’. The day was also attended by the head of ATLAS, Macarena Márquez Piñero.
The Advanced Centre for Aerospace Technologies (CATEC), together with the [...]
The Diputación of Jaén, through the Instituto de Estudios Giennenses (IEG), will finance 22 studies related to natural sciences and technology with 85,000 euros, all of them with a common link: the interest for the province of Jaén. These include a joint project between the Advanced Centre for Aerospace Technologies (CATEC) and the University of Jaén to implement an efficient system for measuring radio frequency antenna specifications using drones at the ATLAS experimental flight field.
This week, we had an interesting visit to the ATLAS facility. Our staff received a group of eight people from Rwanda, made up of key players in the drone industry in this African country, including regulators, implementers, managers, designers and members of the private sector.
The Rector of the University of Jaén, Nicolás Ruiz, has made an institutional visit to the facilities of the ATLAS Centers of CATEC in Villacarrillo and Beas de Segura, in which he has been able to know closely our innovative facilities, as well as the organizational structure, lines of work and projects of our centers.
On 25 June, the new Royal Decree 517/2024 came into force, developing the legal regime for the civil use of unmanned aircraft systems, which seeks to boost the drone sector in Spain and improve its competitiveness at European level. But what regulatory changes does this new Royal Decree actually entail? For this, we have talked to the director of the Avionics and Systems Unit at CATEC, Antidio Viguria, who explains it to us in detail in this interview.
The ATLAS flight centres, belonging to CATEC, have launched a new turnkey service for the validation of systems on aerial platforms, unique in the sector.
CATEC and B2SPACE have signed a collaboration agreement by which both entities will promote the activity of the space industry through the validation of test flights and equipment in near-space conditions and destined for orbit through the use of the Near Space Testing platform, developed by B2SPACE, which will be tested in the ATLAS flight centres, belonging to CATEC.
On June 5th, the "Newton 3 Drone Racing Event" was [...]
