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.
