30 AERONAUTICS, SPACE AND DEFENCE plications for market leaders such as Wind River. Meanwhile, in the defence and se- curity industry, Critical offers techno- logical solutions that support various critical missions, such as peacekeep- ing operations, search and rescue, and training and simulation solu- tions. Its teams specialise in building mission support software, including embedded software, applications and commercial solutions. Companies in this sector face significant challenges and require reliable tools, especially in the most demanding situations. Cyber security and artificial intelligence Critical has invested significantly in cy- ber security and artificial intelligence (AI), ensuring its products stand at the forefront of innovation and protection from online threats. In this area, it has participated in the development of new systems through software solutions, testing, verifica- tion, and validation and has been in- volved in the development of cutting- edge products and solutions enabling Rohde & Schwarz customers (indus- trial, regulatory and military entities) to have technological and digital sov- ereignty and has been a partner of the Portuguese Armed Forces in various projects. These include the Battlefield Management System, a command and control system for the Portuguese Army; the Portuguese Sky Sentinel System, a system allowing aircraft positions to be tracked in real-time; and Oversee, an information system developed to support the Portuguese Navy's maritime security operations. In the space industry, Critical develops solutions for commercial and scientific missions, human and robotic explo- ration and position-time-navigation technologies. It has worked with start- ups, helping to create business mod- els, and with international agencies and major players in the sector, sup- porting monitoring of human activity and its impact on the planet. The pro- jects range from ITER, the largest in- ternational scientific project aimed at demonstrating the viability of nuclear fusion as a clean and unlimited energy source for the future, to the Coper- nicus Earth observation programme, for which it handles on-board soft- ware development enabling data to be obtained on the impact of human activity on the environment and com- pliance monitoring with regards to the Paris Agreement. In 2018, Critical Software formed a joint venture with the BMW Group: Critical TechWorks. The venture re- mains dedicated to developing the next generation of software systems for BMW vehicles, revolutionising the way we use cars – from autonomous driving and electrification technolo- gies to connectivity solutions and in- novative on-board systems. The aerospace sector is in the process of becoming more sustainable – a challenge to companies to acceler- ate innovation. Critical Software has jumped at this challenge to enhance its skills, reach new heights, and pro- mote a more sustainable and safer fu- ture for the entire planet. criticalsoftware.com
