Near 900 members of the armed forces He took part in an artillery exercise this week in the San Luis area of Salinas del Bebedero, in which he deployed firing systems and rockets developed by the Center for Scientific and Technological Research for Defense (Citedef).
Around 80 vehicles, helicopters and aircraft of the Armed Forces along with over 60 artillery guns, mortars, rocket launchers and self-propelled artillery pieces shared the fire drill with ammunition. In the military training camp between August 28 and this Thursday “Bebedero Salt Flats“, within the framework of the shooting exercises the Argentine Army has conducted annually in that area for more than ten years.
Defense Minister, George Taina oversaw the development of the exercise with the Chief of the Argentine Army, Division General Guillermo Olegario Pereda; Chief of the Argentine Navy, Admiral Julio Guardia; Chief of the Argentine Air Force, Brigadier General Javier Isaacs; and Citedef’s president, Pablo Bolcatto, among other officials.
In these practices, various units of the Armed Forces, along with their educational institutions, integrate an artillery group to develop tactical and technical skills in officers and non-commissioned officers, in addition to the operational and military elements of the Army, Navy and Air Force. Huh. , with experiments from various technical sub-systems.
The Defense Minister said that “it is an enriching experience in which the innovation provided by the new elements involved in the Armed Forces is combined with the pursuit of the greatest possible connectivity at the operational level.”
“This exercise gives us many lessons about the value of national scientific and technological development, and especially about the power of patriotism, which is the essential basis for building a nation project,” said the official, “to our people.” Without faith in or conviction nothing can be done”.
Among the novelties participating in the exercise is the CP-30 multiple rocket launcher developed by Sitedef and used by the Argentine military since 2012.which was updated in 2020 to use 105-millimeter ammunition and for which a new target control system designed by Citedef is being tested on the occasion to facilitate the training of its operators .
Every year, technology-led companies and research organizations such as Sitedef participate in the experience, presenting their progress and projects related to defense, a special venue for which was established this year in which a dozen developers develop their products. were able to deploy and carry. Field test out.
Citedef’s president, Pablo Bolcatto, said in an interview with Telam that “scientific and technological developments are an important part of the defense system because they give us autonomy” and that “Citedef has a history of development in the field of rocketry. Today , In this exercise, there are CP-30 launch systems and rockets, which are produced by military manufacturers, under the design of Citedef”.
“Some of the challenges of rocket development are access to imported components, and among them are seamless tubes; that is why we started the Composite Material Vector (VMACOM) project, in which we are developing tubes through the fabric of various are polymers,” he said.
In that sense, he pointed out that “these tubes are lighter than metal, so the rocket may have a greater range or require less power to carry the same load” and that “the design has already been hydraulically tested.” has passed and now we have the forward temperature, subject to the heat generated by the solid fuel that ignites inside”.
He added, “It is very important that Argentina supports the development of rocketry because it is not only about military use, we are also in a position to move forward in the development of a nanosatellite launcher, if that requirement is met.” “
Other technological developments that existed were the automated system for field artillery shooting (SATAC), the Argentine Army’s Integrated Tactical Command and Control System (SITIA), and the Integrated Field Artillery Autonomous Targeting System (SIPAC). , All computer platforms developed by researchers from the Argentine Army.
InWAP also existed, demonstrating a passive detection radar system and progressing development of a new medium-range radar designed for the military’s operational needs.
The Chief of Army Staff, Division General Guillermo Olegario Pereda, confirmed that “this deployment is part of an effort to reorganize our units through the incorporation of new personnel and equipment, that it is part of an eye to modernize the construction of the future.” Our strength is needed”.
This artillery exercise, organized by the Army, seeks to build upon efficient use of its fire support system to optimize utilization of available resources, improve training of military personnel and enhance specialized and joint operational training of the Armed Forces.
