2nd Armada-UGR Congress: “Intelligent Logistics for Defense”.

Organized jointly by the Spanish Navy and the University of Granada, this congress was held in February 2023 with the aim of showcasing the capabilities in the development of different technologies applicable to smart logistics by the national defense industry. It was a meeting space between the academic world and the industrial sector, where the latest advances in research and development in the field of logistics applied to defense were presented.    

The congress was structured around academic presentations, technical demonstrations and round tables, where the main R&D&I projects in smart logistics were addressed. The medium and long-term smart support strategies in the Navy were analysed, with a special focus on the use of artificial intelligence and industry 4.0. Within this, the SEDA project was included, showing the capabilities and examples of analysis within the tool. 

Such conferences play a key role in the modernisation of the Armed Forces. By bringing together experts in different disciplines, collaboration and knowledge transfer between academia and industry are fostered. Some of the key benefits of such events include: 

  • Promoting innovation: Adaptation to new technologies: The Armed Forces can keep up to date with the latest technological advances and take advantage of them to improve their capabilities. 
  • Improving decision making: By having more accurate and up-to-date information, more informed and strategic decisions can be made. 
  • Optimización de recursos: La logística inteligente permite optimizar la gestión de los recursos, reduciendo costes y aumentando la disponibilidad de los equipos. 
  • Resource optimization: Smart logistics allows for optimised resource management, reducing costs and increasing equipment availability. The Armed Forces can keep up to date with the latest technological advances and take advantage of them to improve their capabilities.
