María Jesús Llordén, Manager of Tactical Platforms and Systems at Isdefe's Defence and Security Department, was the Company's representative at the Círculo Foundation's 19th Conference on Defence and Security Technologies.
The conference was held at the facilities of the National Institute of Aerospace Technology (INTA) in Torrejón de Ardoz under the slogan “Towards a new digitised, hyper-connected, autonomous and intelligent scenario", on 29 and 30 September.
The symposium brought together a group of notable experts from the Armed Forces, law enforcement, the government, academia and industry, who debated the scope of emerging smart technologies.
José María Salom Piqueres, an Air Force Lieutenant General and INTA's managing director, and Félix Pérez Martínez, president of the Fundación Círculo de Tecnología para la Defensa y la Seguridad (Círculo Foundation for Defence and Security Technology), welcomed the participants of the 19th conference, the opening session of which was led by Esperanza Casteleiro Llamazares, Secretary of State for Defence.
The opening lecture, delivered by the Navy Chief of Staff, Admiral General Antonio Martorell, was entitled “Future conflicts, adaptation of capacities".
As part of the third conference, “Platforms: complexity, autonomy and intelligence", chaired by the head of the Army's Logistics Support Command, Lieutenant General Fernando García de las Hijas, María Jesús Llordén took part by answering the question of the moderator, Vice Admiral Manuel Martínez, Director of Naval Constructions, on identifying the keys to successfully implement the procurement programmes for new platforms in the field of defence, designed as systems of systems with innovative and disruptive technologies.
According to Llordén, in this scenario, weapons systems incorporate disruptive and innovative technologies based on data and communications sciences, and the evolution of these platforms overlaps in time. In this framework, the capacities of the platforms are obtained through new technologies that are initiated and developed in the civil sphere, evolving over a short time.
The closing conference, titled "Impact of disruptive and emerging technologies", was delivered by Antonio Calderón, Chief Technology Officer of the NATO Communications and Information Agency, and the conference was closed by the Secretary of State for Telecommunications and Digital Infrastructures, Roberto Sánchez.
