Our ATLAS Alpha centre hosts the final demonstration of the GAVILANSO project

Our ATLAS Alpha centre hosts the final demonstration of the GAVILANSO project

This initiative, part of the MISIONES 2024 Programme, has enabled the development of key technologies for the integration of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles in urban environments. CATEC has played a prominent role in this initiative, being responsible for the development of autonomous task management algorithms in multi-UAV systems, among other things.
