GISS OVERVIEW
GISS was originally founded in 2012 as a company operating in the aviation and military communications market. In the first phase of the company's history, the business model was based on international cooperation as a technical solution provider. In addition, the GISS engineering team continuously increased its competence in the installation and service of ILS/DME navigation equipment.
Years 2012 - 2013 - the company was active in the area of radar systems and ILS equipment installation in the aviation industry.
Years 2014 - 2015 - GISS expands the range of products and include training facilities, shooting bases and shooting range equipment.
In 2016, GISS has opened the R&D department and initiated development activities in the field of innovative and proprietary products of the satellite communications sector.
In 2018, GISS is holding an established position in the market of satellite communications, air traffic management & navigation systems and in the sector of shooting solutions (training facilities). This year saw the start of construction of the GISS research and development centre.
In 2021, the facility was completed and a professional centre for new satellite communications technologies was opened.

Project Summary: | The European Protected Waveform under the European Defence Fund is built around four corner stones: efficient, secure, affordable and interoperable satellite communications and will be accessible to small, mid-sized and large European nations seeking to embrace today’s and future challenges related to increased throughput demand over satellite, dispersed operations, mobility and new security threats. |
| Project Number: | 101103510 | |
| Project Name, Acronym | EDF-2021-EPW | |
| Project Call: | EDF-2021-SPACE-D-2 | |
| Project Objective: | In this EPW proposal the consortium will focus on the Study and Design phases in the development process for a multi-layered security and resiliency solution that consists of an EU protected waveform standard, software defined baseband equipment and adjacent security technologies. Under the umbrella of the adjacent security technologies are EPW considerations for on-board processing satellites as well as study and design work on next-gen satellite terminals for on-the-move applications (e.g. UAVs), small satellites and upcoming technologies such as 5G, Hybrid networks, etc.). The main objective is to present the military end-user with an innovative end-to-end secure solution for seamless satellite communications at maximum information assurance. | |
