The Test Center for Unmanned Systems (CEUS) is a large infraestructure that serves as support, fundamentgally, for the development of unmanned aerial platforms and as a base for INTA aerial research platforms.

This center is especially useful for the operation of large RPAS, as they can take advantage of 1 million hectare no-fly zone, providing wide margins to facilitate testing.

Its proximity to the facilities of the Arenosillo Experimentation Center (CEDEA) gives it great advantages.

By working as an extension of CEDEA, which has optronic and radar systems together with all the available communication and data processing tools, it allows monitoring and collecting flight data. In addition to the aded value of having the great experience of the staff in the management of RPAS tests and trials,m it is also a Development an Qualification Center form small and medium sized aerial platforms for the main European manufacterers.

This action is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through the Pluri-regional Operational Program of Spain 2014-2020 in the framework of the call for public Scientific-Technological Initiatives of the CDTI.
