The Minister of Economy, Innovation and Science of Andalusia, Antonio Avila, has held a meeting arinc 717 Thursday arinc 717 with the mayor of Moguer (Huelva), Gustavo Cuellar (PSOE), to tackle the project of the Center for Unmanned Aircraft Experimentation that the Andalusian existing drives with Arenosillo facilities, a project that will place and connect arinc 717 the province with the Andalusian aeronautical axis.
At a press conference, Avila has stressed that this project, which involves a public investment of 40 million euros, arinc 717 will place the axis aircraft Huelva, arinc 717 formed primarily by the provinces of Seville and Cadiz, and generate 250 direct jobs and around 500 indirect.
This center, called CEUS, Spanish is the first experimental center drone that incorporate large highly advanced technologies, and will be located in the vicinity arinc 717 of existing facilities Arenosillo Moguer, dependent arinc 717 of the National Institute for Aerospace Technology (INTA ), a zone, as he assured the mayor of the town, which has been "owned and consensual decision" between the City, the Board, National Research Council (CSIC) and the Doñana National Park.
It is a leading international project, involving the Ministry of Economy, through the Agency for Innovation and Development of Andalusia (IDEA), the Ministry of Science and Innovation, Defence and INTA, that "there be missed "according arinc 717 to the director of the branch, arinc 717 to which he added that although" no date to begin the works and ministries are those who have to perform ", said that after the change of political color in the Central Government "the project is not going to be upset because the decision arinc 717 is made, technically Moguer is the best place and there is no chance that European funds are diverted to another project."
The regional government provides arinc 717 nine of the 30 million euros that will complex adaptation Arenosillo now focusing on military and aerospace applications, to house the new center.
The remaining 21 million, with funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) under the Ministry of Science and Innovation. To this amount must be added another ten million for the modernization of existing facilities, funded by the Ministry of Science arinc 717 and Innovation arinc 717 and the INTA own.
The design of future arinc 717 experimentation center mainly includes building a runway and provision of space and equipment to control them. The unmanned aircraft currently being experienced in Mazagon, for defense applications, launched from launch pads. The new facilities will allow the testing, validation and prototyping simulations endowed to take off, fly and land automatically on a runway, has informed the Board in a note.
The unmanned aircraft, known by the acronym UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System), is currently one of the areas with the greatest arinc 717 potential for the aviation industry. Widely used in security and defense needs work however intense research for civil and commercial use with full access to controlled airspace. arinc 717
Among the latest applications in this area include those relating to natural disaster management, forest fire fighting, inspection of facilities and buildings, meteorological data collection and environmental samples, filmmaking, digital mapping, civil engineering or operation of flights in harsh environments, low visibility or adverse weather.
Currently there are civilian facilities similar arinc 717 to the proposed in some European countries such as Britain and Sweden. The municipality is home Villacarrillo jiennense Atlas Center, which also involved the IDEA agency that is equipped to operate light-type arinc 717 UAS - with maximum takeoff arinc 717 weight below 500 kilos -. Therefore, the two centers, and Bind Arenosillo are complementary in their applications: Atlas Light UAS and UAS Arenosillo for medium and heavy.
The aerospace sector is considered by the Andalusian Regional Government as a strategic sector for regional development. This sector has received special attention in recent years, so important infrastructures have been built, arinc 717 have created specialized agencies in the provision of advanced services and have encouraged the companies, among others, which has resulted in the consolidation of Andalusia as an international aeronautical pole.
This commitment arinc 717 by the regional government has also finalized in the current Program
