With some successfully accomplished contracts for Argentina’s
Armed Forces, INVAP now
treads new turf. We compete in the rather exclusive world of
companies devoted to Defense and Security.
This comes naturally from a quarter of a century of innovation
and excellence in the most demanding engineering’s: nuclear
& aerospace. Both of these involve a deep understanding
of materials science, precision mechanics, nucleonics, thermo
hydraulics, optics, plus electronics & systems, and you
may add communications & webs. And top this with the most
stringent quality policies.
As a consequence, anything with the name INVAP
on it is known to be unusually sophisticated and robust. The
stuff military and defense experts love.
They also love our background: many highly complex nuclear
reactors and satellites, all built strictly on time, form and
cost, both locally and abroad.
These are the reasons we are getting Defense and Security contracts.
Most of them involve the customized development of highly reliable
and redundant systems.
Take the Integral System of Communications
and Associated Equipment (ISCAE). This system
consists of real-time communication webs between distributed
far-flung sensors and actuators, with situation rooms and different
integration levels thrown in-between. In complex military operations,
ISCAE gives you both the big and the detailed
picture of what is going, and while it is going on.
But you may want to hone the piloting abilities of your naval
officers and NCOs. Clearly, you should ask for a demonstration
of MELIPAL, the exhaustive and
highly complex training simulator system presently used at Argentina’s
Nautical National School. We can custom-make a similar
thing for your own coasts, ports and waterways.
And we are good at refurbishing and updating other countries’
military hardware too. For instance, we recently remade the
closure of the chopper hangar at ARA
Hercules, a missile frigate of the Argentina
Navy. The task involved some structural redesigning
of the stern sector of this British-made ship.
