El Arenosillo Experimentation Center (CEDEA)
CEDEA is an experimentation and research center whose main lines of activity are focused on renewable energy research, upper atmosphere research, especially in the ozonosphere, and collaboration with the Armed Forces and military units of other countries to provide support with missile trajectory analysis and experimentation with unmanned aerial vehicles (known as "drones"). It also hosts atmospheric sounding rocket launches.
Its main lines of work are:
- Development testing of different types of unmanned aircraft.
- Implementation of R&D programs, durability studies, and testing of solar energy components and systems.
- Atmospheric research.
In 2024, its aeronautical activity was complemented by the UAS testing center, CEUS. Located approximately 10 km from CEDEA, it allows the operation of medium and large-sized RPAS and UAS systems, such as the INTA PAI. The CEDEA-CEUS complex becomes the best European Centre of Excellence for Unmanned Systems (Drones) and an international reference for experimentation with unmanned vehicles.

Information for supplier evaluation
Testing Center for Unmanned Systems (CEUS)
The Unmanned System Test Center (CEUS) is located in Moguer, near the El Arenosillo Experimental Center (CEDEA). The CEUS's objective is to complement CEDEA by providing it with the necessary elements for horizontal takeoff and landing (HTOL) or conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL), as well as to operate both RPAS and Manned Research Platforms with national coverage and in diverse research target environments. The center's 1 million-hectare no-fly zone makes it ideal for operating large RPAS.
