Crossover technology for applications in primary and secondary structures, offering a unique design allowance regarding bi-directional properties, non-flat geometries and integrated functionality.

A reliable and safe system that gathers critical (sensor and actuators data) and non critical (health and condition monitoring) information. No need for configuration as it is plug & play in off-the-shelf equipment with mechanical robustness, low power consumption allied with reliability and security.

Monitor to collect data related with radiation exposure (absorption dose). It has the ability to anticipate problems and introduce predictability in manned flights/missions.

Acts as an alarm system towards high energy (nuclear or not) detection.

It substantially enhances the performance and capability of existing standard systems, as it handles tasks such as event building, feature extraction and high level trigger processing.

Commercial open standard designed for high throughput availability.

A global navigation satellite system with a high accuracy postioning compared to the GPS system. It can be a precise solution (few centimetre level) for imaging, surveillance, control applications and for unmanned vehicles

It runs in low cost highly available hardware, providing a cost effective architecture that enables the production of cost effective systems (new and flexible avionics architectures) for sectors that cannot afford huge development costs.

Multicriteria decision method with dynamic characteristics and capacity to deal with dynamically changing input data and criteria. It is able to evaluate a large set of settings, adapting the weights according to changes over time, in order to provide the optimal option at any given moment.

Tool that conducts rigorous and repeatable regression tests for several applications such as industry, telecommunications, software houses and system databases. Web-based interface so tests can be inspected or interrupted in real time, in multiple environments.

Innovative software developed for processors  that can be applied in situation where safety, reliability and modularity of the software are fundamental.

Secure interface with the hardware.

Technology to test systems in exceptional situations and force worst-case failure scenarios, while being completely un-intrusive at the software level.

Tests in the target embedded system that otherwise would require much more efforts.

Free open source real-time operating system designed for embedded systems.

Cost-effective solution for almost any kind of safety-critical embedded software application.

It’s an easy to use framework that retrieves, stores and monitors information from satellite communications.

The database provides a fast and high demanding search performance, so it can scale from simple small business solutions, to large enterprises with multiple customers.

It significally reduces the effort required to implement network communication components where proprietary protocols have been defined.

Reduction of the total costs, faster development, higher quality and easier maintenance.

This system analyzes signals reflected from the water surface, its high resolution allows the measure of different characteristics such as the wavesheight, frequency, roughness and wind speed. It works with both GPS and Galileo and also provides data acquisition and data process subsystems.

Active antenna arrays are used in drones to focus on the area of interest, maximizing efficiency, and increasing operating range. Its concept has low mass, mechanical simplicity and allows radiated energy to be concentrated in one spot, which are great improvements when compared to the traditional antennas.

Aerogels can resist large temperature ranges (-180 ºC to 350 ºC), vibration and high vacuum and may be supplied in blocks, blankets or powder. They also combine low density, low thermal conductivity, hydrophobicity, flexibility and don’t cause skin irritation during installation.

Energy harvesting method that has a simple working mechanism. It produces high output power and has the ability of harvesting energy in any environment (water pipelines, taps of housing, etc.) because it was built to function as watertight.

The technology is environmental friendly and versatile to be used in many sectors as replacement/improvement technology, and offers control of thickness, homogeneity and good surface quality in order to guarantee the quality of the initial substrate surface.

Modified resin systems that can provide multifunctional characteristics leading to new performance levels: mechanical,  thermal or even stimuli-responsive or self-repairing characteristics.

Innovative approach to produce industry parts allowing high finish quality and controlled fibre directions, because of its low mass, aimed design and reduction of the production times.

Better fibre orientation, and improvement of mechanical properties while maintaining lightweight features and reduction of waste. Suitable for structural applications, replacing typical metal stamped applications.

Manufacturing process for high-performance composite material parts and components, which yields products with high strength/weight ratio, high fibre volume fraction, and a large degree of customization.

Cork composites suitable for lightweight and damping/acoustic management contexts. The air filled closed cork cell maintains the materials thermal insulation from -80ºC to 180ºC within a very narrow range. Since its not affected by humidity and has a high resistance to compression it serves as a perfect insulator.

These blankets are used for thermal insulation, namely to block thermal radiation for vacuum and non-vacuum environments. Tailored to a specific geometry, it has a low areal mass and thickness, large range of thermal performance (-250 to +300 ºC).

This blanket has a frequency-selective structure for blocking thermal radiation and managing electromagnetic interference. It can be applied as a patch or a large blanket, as it is lightweight and thin when compared with other solutions.

Through an ingenious concept for gas entrapment it can deliver the performance required: gas storage in highly pressurized spheres, it avoids pressure regulators, has higher flux rates and is easier and cheaper to manufacture.

Ability to produce parts/tools with mechanical properties similar to moulding injection technic, but with optimized geometries. Capability to create designs tailored to the environmental constraints (zero gravity), recycling possibilities and less waste – reduced cost, volume, and mass constraints.

Typical building blocks for carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites, which can offer several advantages:  higher specific stiffness and specific strengths, corrosion resistance and easier and faster manufacturing.

Condition Monitoring and Control System (& service) for dynamic systems that provides early warnings and self-adaption if there are deviations from nominal operation. It can offer a reduction of costs, avoidance of premature breakdowns, remote diagnosis and allows system optimization.

Congestion is a major problem in many highways, thus authorities promote the High Occupancy Vehicles (HOV) which have dedicated lanes or reduced tolls tariffs. This technology helps HOV identification by tolls systems.

This device features six barriers to prevent that an inadvertent ignition. It can be used in all fields where explosions are used and safe handling of the ignitor charges is required. With minimal modification, it can also be used as an electric safe/arming device designed for extreme environments.
