The Army Chief of Staff, Army Corps General Carmine Masiello, visited the multifunctional testing center (CEPOLISPE) in Montelibretti (RM), to get an update on the main ongoing projects and the cutting-edge technologies used in the military experimentation sector.
The director of the Centre, Colonel Pierpaolo Dotoli, together with his civil and military staff, carried out detailed analyzes of the ongoing activities and presented the plan for the adaptation and strengthening of the center to the top authority of the Armed Forces, as a driving force of the Army in the field of experimentation, innovation and advanced technical-engineering training.
At the ITB (Integrated Test Bed) site, Gen. ca Masiello attended a capacitive simulation and modeling demonstration, which CEPOLISPE is developing towards the so-called virtual testing, followed by an experimental test in the electromagnetic sector, in the semi-anechoic chamber.
At the end of the visit, the head of the Army met, for a brief greeting, the civil and military personnel of the center gathered in the "Cavalli" room, together with the lieutenant engineers of the 200th "Duty" course, who are carrying out the technical application course. Addressing the staff, Gen. ca Masiello confirmed the strategic value of CEPOLISPE, expressed through an accurate and recognized research and experimentation capacity, at the basis of the reliability and effectiveness of the operational capabilities essential for national and international security, in a context, like today's, of increasing complexity and emerging challenges. The Army's commitment is maximum in governing the development of the most modern technologies - concluded the head of the Army.
CEPOLISPE, a body dependent on the logistics command of the Army, is an advanced military testing center, whose core business is represented by technical and experimental tests aimed at the approval of vehicles, materials, weapon systems, components and equipment of interest of Defence. Furthermore, the organization has a strong vocation towards research and development activities, conducted in collaboration with universities and industry, which allow the continuous technical updating of personnel and offer, at the same time, the possibility of comparison and exchange of knowledge and experiences with the civil world, indispensable to increasingly qualify the centre's capabilities in the healthcare sector testing and evaluation.
