On Thursday, January 23rd, 2025, the students of the VIII Course of Management and Direction of ICT and Information Security, who are taking the sixth edition of the University Master in ICT Management for Defense (Master DIRETIC) visited the School of Telecommunications Engineering (EIT) of the University of Vigo, as well as the facilities of the Integrated Services System (ISS) project, accompanied by the CUD-ENM professor Mr. José González Coma.
Upon arrival at the School of Telecommunication Engineering, students and faculty were welcomed by the CN Eng. (RE) Mr. José Antonio López Moreno and EIT professor Ms. Inés García-Tuñón Blanca. During the visit, the participants had the opportunity to visit an anechoic chamber accompanied by Mr. José Vázquez Cabo, and received a short conference by Professor García-Tuñón.
After the visit to the School of Telecommunications Engineering, the visitors went to the facilities dedicated to the SSI project, located in the technology and logistics park of Valladares. These facilities are destined to the development of a unique system in the naval world, born with the purpose of providing a digital, secure and intelligent infrastructure, which gives support and integral coverage to multiple services and functionalities.
There, the attendees had the opportunity to learn about the operation of an architecture based on the ship’s lighting points, capable of improving the crew’s experience by replacing traditional lighting with intelligent nodes. It currently integrates functionalities such as lighting, public address, monitoring, TV cameras, secure wireless access services and diverse sensorization into a single system, also allowing interaction with crew members. The Spanish Navy’s F-110 “Bonifaz” class frigates, the first unit of which is currently under construction, will be the first ships on which this system is planned to be installed.
