With more than three decades in business, well over a thousand delivered projects, proven nuclear and aerospace prowess and technological versatility, INVAP is now also becoming a Government & Defense company. You will find some of our developments in this section or our website.
Most of what we are doing in Government & Defense is based on communications technology: the different associations between distributed sensors and actuators, satellite and land communication networks, real-time information systems,and may also include C3 (Comunication, Command and Control) rooms, either fixed or mobile. But we also deal in more conventional engineering.
First, we have what we call “Systems for Controlling Great Areas”. In this category are our INKAN 2D and MET 3D radars, our own upgrading and updating of the RASIT radar, our space-based Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), our ITROKOM console, a portable multipurpose C3 room, and two optical-based detection systems: our PLATES stabilized camera platform for search, rescue and surveillance from aircraft, and HAUKANKEN, a system meant for the early detection of wilderness fires. Except for the 3D and SAR radars, which are works in progress, all these systems are deployed and functioning well.
A second group of systems is meant for the fiscal controlling of some industries which may be difficult to survey by their own nature. One example is SIMPO, designed to end overfishing, underbilling and other practices, which is deployed on Rio Negro’s fishing fleet and territorial waters, and another is PATAGONIUS, developed to monitor the meat-packing industry.
Last but not least, INVAP have carried out some specific jobs for Argentina’s Armed Forces. One is the development of MELIPAL, a simulator to train ship pilots to navigate by radar. Another is a new sliding door of the helicopter hangar of ARA Hercules, an Argentine Navy destroyer. The Argentine Army, on their behalf, have charged us with a Campaign Data Processor (PDC), a console for managing battlefield information able to withstand very tough conditions.
INVAP’s Government, Defense and Security developments are custom-made according to the needs of the client. This means teaming up with the customer’s experts, the possibility of forming international companies, and the design of fast-lane or pluriannual execution time schedules. |
