Thanks to GMV’s technological developments, millions of people have seen improvements in their lives or the planet they live on. Our products and systems provide solutions and services that have a direct impact on citizens. Preventing fires, protecting our data, reducing long waits at bus stops, watching a soccer match, connecting to the internet securely, or using a navigator to reach a specific destination are possible thanks to technology developed by GMV.
40 years of impact on society
Satellite Navigation
Galileo, the European satellite navigation system in which GMV plays a key role, serves about 4 billion users worldwide. It is used in a wide range of activities and economic sectors such as transportation, agriculture, financial operations, or emergency services. Our phones, cars, trains, planes, and ships use Galileo for precise positioning and localization.
Space Infrastructures
Just like the road network, healthcare systems, or railway lines, space infrastructures are fundamental. GMV is a pioneer and a global reference in various areas of the space sector. Our solutions and services contribute to the development of a more sustainable and resilient society, improving the lives of citizens and the productivity of businesses.
Public Transportation
Intelligent transportation systems enhance the mobility of people and goods, allowing for efficient resource utilization. From route information panels to ticketing systems, GMV has modernized, digitized, and improved the safety and sustainability of key transportation infrastructures. Our solutions are used in public transport systems in numerous countries, promoting efficient and population-adapted public transport alternatives.
Autonomous Car
Mobility 4.0 is more sustainable, safe, and comfortable. What sounded far-off just a few years ago is now a reality to which GMV has also contributed. We supply advanced systems applied to the automotive sector, such as our safe high-accuracy reliable positioning system, which is already implemented in the new generation of autonomous cars.
Telecommunications
Satellites provide connectivity to billions of users worldwide and extend communication networks to areas of the planet where they had never reached before. These systems can provide global access to users around the world. GMV leads globally in the development of control centers for telecommunications satellite operators.
Earth Observation
Thanks to Earth observation satellites, GMV develops applications that collaborate in the identification and prevention in the areas of climate change, atmosphere, marine environment, land use, emergency response, and security. Our solutions are aimed at conserving the planet and preventing and mitigating the effects of global risks caused by both natural processes and human activity.
Cybersecurity
Today, cybersecurity is an essential element. GMV works on the protection of critical infrastructures, such as the cybersecurity of satellite navigation systems. A cyberattack affecting satellite navigation systems would prevent the use of many of the services provided by smartphones, automobiles, and any geolocation service.
Healthcare
Science and technology are also crucial for improving health treatments as well as for detection and prevention of diseases. GMV has been able to transfer its knowledge from the space sector to other areas such as healthcare, developing products aimed at achieving a healthier society through better patient care.
Space Sustainability
Although it may seem distant to citizens, the technology developed by GMV also looks after space sustainability and safety, which is important to maintain and preserve. In addition to detection and monitoring of space debris, GMV develops multiple technologies to achieve a responsible use of space.
Planetary Defense
Making science fiction a reality is something that tech companies like GMV can boast about. GMV plays a fundamental role in the HERA planetary defense mission, whose guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) system, developed by the company, will make it possible to autonomously approach an asteroid to characterize a prior impact and obtain invaluable data that will allow developing strategies for future asteroids that may pose an impact risk against Earth.
Science
Innovation and scientific research are essential for the progress of humanity. Some of the most recent missions to the surface of the Moon have discovered evidence of water and other potential resources that may support human exploration. To identify and characterize the potential of these resources, GMV is working on the development of space robotics projects that allow scientific data to be obtained and autonomous long-distance movements to be made.
Defense
In the current geopolitical context, it is important to have a professional and technologically advanced army. Spanish companies like GMV contribute to modernizing European defense systems. GMV develops solutions and systems for law-enforcement agencies, for monitoring and crisis management, defense and security, and information security.
Aeronautics
Thanks to innovation and new technologies, we have more fuel-efficient airplanes with lower carbon emissions. With its technological solutions and risk analysis methodologies focused on the aeronautical sector, GMV contributes to the improvement of air traffic safety and the reduction of environmental impact. We develop key technologies in navigation, command and control, intelligence, as well as in critical avionics systems.
