The third edition of UNVEX provided a meeting place and debate forum for the industry and users of unmanned vehicles. UNVEX was inaugurated by the Secretary of Defence, Mr. Pedro Argüelles, and brought together 36 exhibitors and over 1,800 visitors. The person in charge of the closing ceremony was the Assistant Director for Logistics for the General Directorateof the Police, Mr. Pedro Polo, in representation of Mr. Ignacio Cosidó, General Director of the Police.
CESA, a bronze sponsor of UNVEX, participated in the three activities performed. It was present in the exhibition with an 18m2 stand displaying its technological novelties and projects in development. CESA used this opportunity to display technologies such as the landing gear and nose gear of UAV Atlante, as well as technologies for a more electric aircraft (new power sources based on hydrogen, such as fuel cells, or electromechanical actuation systems, such as door actuation systems)
With regard to the development of these technologies, Eva Novillo, coordinator of the R&D department of CESA, participated in the conferences program with a presentation on Electricity Generation Plants for UAVs based on fuel cells, explaining their possibilities as power plants in small unmanned aircraft as well as for replacing the APU in larger UAVs.
The flight demonstrations performed in the Marugán Airfield (Segovia) with 7 vehicles displayed their capabilities before the more than 150 persons present.
