INSTALAZA took part in INDUDEF in Córdoba, providing another opportunity to showcase its solutions, share its vision for the sector and introduce the new ALCOTAN-MRM to those closely following developments in defence technology.

Throughout the event, we welcomed numerous visits from officials, experts and students looking to take their first professional steps in the defence industry. This exchange of experiences and perspectives allowed us to showcase our work, discuss the sector’s needs and introduce a new generation of talent to our activities.

ALCOTAN-MRM once again featured prominently in our participation. INDUDEF offered another opportunity to discover this development and speak with our team about a solution that reflects our ongoing efforts to turn operational requirements into real capabilities.

Modernisation and Armed Forces capabilities

Miguel Muñoz, CEO of INSTALAZA, took part in Friday’s panel discussion, “Modernisation and Armed Forces Capabilities”, where he shared the company’s perspective on industrial commitment and the opportunities offered by Spain’s Special Modernisation Programmes (PEM).

During his remarks, he reaffirmed INSTALAZA’s ethos, grounded in “professionalism and commitment”, with a statement that sums up our approach to work: “We deliver on our promises, on time and as agreed.”

Discussing the impact of the PEM on industry, he highlighted the importance of ensuring that their budgetary stability also supports the development of smaller companies with their own technological capabilities:

The budgetary certainty provided by the Special Modernisation Programmes should also help address other requirements that smaller companies can take the lead in meeting, particularly when they own key technologies and have the capabilities to develop them. Supporting these companies strengthens the defence industry and helps sustain businesses that develop talent and contribute specialist expertise.

An industry ready to keep pace with innovation

Santiago Galindo, INSTALAZA’s Director of Exports, Sales and Corporate Image, also took part in a panel discussion addressing some of the challenges that will shape the future of Spain’s defence industry. Among them, he highlighted the importance of an industrial model capable of translating Spain’s technological potential into solutions available to end users. To achieve this, he stressed the need to overcome the difficulties arising from a fragmented industrial landscape and move towards more agile procurement processes that keep pace with technological change.

He also shared one of the key elements of INSTALAZA’s innovation strategy: leveraging the value of our proprietary components and technologies to broaden their applications. This approach enables components such as our warheads to be integrated into platforms developed by other companies, without having to design an entire system from scratch in every case. It is a way to drive new solutions using existing capabilities and open up further opportunities for industrial collaboration.

We return from Córdoba highly satisfied with the visits we received and the opportunity to share ideas, projects and experiences. Thank you to everyone who came to discover our solutions and speak with our team. This dialogue with institutions, professionals and future talent inspires us to keep developing tomorrow’s defence technology.
