MBDA is bringing its expertise in weapon systems alongside U-Space Nanosatellites as part of the #TOUTATIS project, presented during the Space Defence and Security Summit #SDSS by Novaspace (Merger of Euroconsult & SpaceTec Partners). The Agence de l'innovation de défense, notified U-Space and MBDA of a Low Earth Orbit Action Demonstration for the Commandement de l'Espace. The TOUTATIS project includes two satellites, LISA-1 and SPLINTER. Our contribution will be focused on SPLINTER, a satellite with high manoeuverability, autonomous proximity, and engagement capabilities. DGA - Direction générale de l'armement

#HWIL, short for ‘Hardware in the Loop’, enables MBDA to test the core functions of its missiles before deployment. While these key technologies require significant investments, they also promote: • Strong Collaboration within International HWIL Capability community to optimize testing facility costs and simulations 🌐 • Standardization of HWIL core simulation functions globally to ensure consistency and reliability across all testing platforms. • Advanced scenario simulation through Electro-Optical and Radio Frequency capabilities for realistic scene representation. • Digitalization, enabling detailed performance evaluations. • Complementary in missile system validation with Numerical Simulation and real Flight Trials. 🚀 Innovations are in the DNA of HWIL teams, not only to improve MBDA’s efficiency but also to push the boundaries of what's achievable in #aerospacetechnology.
