Broad Range of Other Solutions on Show
Arquimea has chosen FEINDEF in Madrid, 17-19 May, to show its complete Q-SLAM-40 loitering munition system to the public for the first time.
Enabling safe, efficient, short-range missions and designed and manufactured entirely in Spain, Q-SLAM-40 is a unique marauding system, consisting of platform, launcher and ground station incorporating C2 functionality. It represents an effective, flexible, proven and deployable solution, which can be adapted to the needs of each mission and environment.
The company has already been working on a vehicle-mounted variant and is showing a version mounted on EINSA’s Netón at FEINDEF. A version with greater autonomy for longer-range missions – the Q-SLAM-100 – is also under development.
Other Arquimea solutions on display in Madrid include the Techfire fire control system for mortars and tube artillery; the BC-Lite ballistic computer for mortars; eCompass, a digital goniometer that improves accuracy and reduces aiming time to 50 seconds; mCounter, a mortar firing counter, to improve maintenance and safety; and Shepherd-MIL Advanced, a surveillance drone with the profile of a bird of prey. The company’s expertise and experience in the space sector will also be the subject of discussions during the fair, undoubtedly.
Arquimea is sponsoring the Innova Space at FEINDEF, aiming to bring the innovative entrepreneurial ecosystem closer to the defence sector – and will, in fact, participate in a panel discussion Open innovation and startups: opportunities and challenges for the Defence sector on 19 May.
