Land defense and civil security encompass broad technological and operational needs. InnoSécur supports companies in these fields across all development stages.
Telecommunications
This focus area encompasses technologies that enable field teams to communicate, exchange data and coordinate their actions reliably and securely. It includes tactical radios, mesh networks, satellite communications, geolocation, command and control systems and interoperability solutions among the various stakeholders.
Advanced materials
Advanced materials (technical textiles, composites, alloys, smart materials, ballistic protection, anti-corrosion, fire, impact, and extreme-temperature solutions) make it possible to design lighter, tougher equipment built for demanding field conditions. Applications range from uniforms, helmets, and protective gear to land vehicles, temporary shelters, critical infrastructure, and rescue equipment.
Autonomous vehicles
Autonomous, robotic, or remotely operated vehicles carry out missions in dangerous, complex, or hard-to-reach environments, minimizing human exposure. They include ground robots, logistics platforms, mine-clearing systems, inspection or response vehicles, and observation drones. Applications cover equipment transport, threat detection, victim search, and support for military, police, or civil security operations.
Clean energy and technologies
This focus area encompasses analytical systems and information tools optimizing strategic and tactical decision-making through AI, big data, and predictive modelling. Innovations support five key command phases: identifying threats, assessing real-time situations, determining courses of action, executing with precision, and monitoring deployed measures.
Logistics and simulation
Logistics plans, transports, locates, and maintains operational resources using tools for traceability, inventory management, and predictive maintenance. Incorporating simulation, digital twins, and virtual reality helps prepare teams, anticipate risks, and improve decision-making prior to actual missions.
Anti-drone and soldier equipment
This focus area covers technologies to detect, track, and counter hostile drones threatening personnel, the public, or critical infrastructure. It also encompasses field personnel equipment, including sensors, ballistic protection, exoskeletons, navigation tools, and medical devices to enhance mobility, situational awareness, and decision-making.
