This award represents industry recognition of innovation and development in the field of “C4W: Command, Control, Communications and Computers for Wireless” and is the result of the “Armored Brigade’s” commitment to technological development, actively promoting and collaborating on projects such as the evolution of C3 2035.

The winning project is the result of collaboration through the Polytechnic University of Madrid, with the Department of Electronic Engineering, led by Professor Octavio Nieto-Taladriz, together with the staff of the Transmissions Company of the Headquarters Battalion of the BRI XII and Teldat who have worked in a coordinated manner to define a product in the form of a functional prototype of C2 (wireless PC), which allows great agility in its deployment, adapted to the continuous evolution of the systems, reducing the response time and the personnel needs for its assembly and, in addition, at a very low cost.

The Wireless Command Post (WCP) is a prototype developed by the BRI XII that leverages technological advancements to be deployed and operational very quickly, while improving its protection and security in initial entry operations and high-intensity scenarios, where changes of position are more frequent, in line with the armies around us that are already looking to the future with new generations of WCPs.

“This award is a clear example of promoting R&D&I from the ground up, which has allowed for the optimization and streamlining of resources and personnel, guided by the needs of experts on the ground and applicable in operational areas,” says Eduardo Robles of Teldat. “For the 12th Brigade, it represents a great incentive and encouragement in its determined pursuit of a new innovation model within a large organization like the Spanish Army, based on the synergy created between Tactical Units, Business, and Universities, thus fostering the integration of the Army with civil society and the dissemination of a culture of defense.”.
