The Information and Communication Systems Unit presents results of MEDSI project in DANOTEC Seminar

DANOTEC – Defense, Armament and New Technologies Association – has organized a seminar on Safety Technology, in the facilities of the Instituto de Estudos Superiores Militares in Lisbon, on the 7th of March.

The goal of this Association is the development of a broad industrial and scientific network of competencies capable of maximizing the national entrepreneurship, and the public and private investment to be made, as a partner in the New Europe of Defense. It has 40 associates, among which INESC Porto, which is also a member of the General Council.

At the seminar, Artur Rocha was in charge of the presentation of the results of MEDSI project of the Information and Communication Systems Unit. MEDSI’s innovative proposals were highlighted, namely in the interoperability field and particularly at the level of fusion of heterogeneous geo-referenced data, coming from GIS Systems of several manufacturers. This is a problem felt by the majority of the people present, for which it had already been mentioned in previous lectures several times.

The Seminar had an extended participation: members from the three branches of the Armed Forces, PSP, GOE, GNR, Firemen and the National Council for Civil Emergency Planning, besides several DANOTEC associates.

The main purpose of DANOTEC is to bring together the Portuguese Companies and Research Institutes, which are involved in the research, development, manufacture and service of products concerning Naval, Land and Aerospace sectors, as well as correlated Systems and Equipments. It also seeks to promote their technical and technological expertise into the different business areas, namely those directed at the foreign market.

The Association maintains close and monitored relations with its European counterparts, following the activities of more interest to the companies, and in particular in ASD - AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (resulting from the fusion of AECMA, EDIG and EUROSPACE), of which it is a member and where it keeps a national delegate.
