Interview with Constantin Pintilie, CEO of BlueSpace Technology – “Invest in Romania” show, Ziarul Financiar

Constantin Pintilie, the CEO of BlueSpace Technology, explains in an interview with Ziarul Financiar why innovation is the motto of the cyber & defense business:

“Seven years ago, we had a vision, that of producing Romanian products in Romania. At that time, we found a market dominated by traders and consultants, a market where production had no place. That’s why today, whatever you try to develop, whatever you do, is more than what exists. Throughout the years of activity, we encountered fear and distrust regarding Romanian products. BlueSpace Technology aims to demonstrate that it is possible in Romania. We have the capacity to bring innovation to this industry.”

BlueSpace Technology officially authorised to use 5G infrastructure equipment

The company BlueSpace Technology has obtained authorization for the use of 5G infrastructure equipment, according to the Prime Minister’s decision published in the Official Gazette on 20 June 2023.

Electronic communications is a dynamic, evolving field with significant influences on many sectors of activity. As a result, the way in which technologies, equipment and software are designed to operate has a direct impact on the security of electronic communications networks and services, and therefore on the areas of national security and defense.

According to current legislation, only technologies, equipment and software delivered by pre-approved manufacturers can be used in 5G networks.

Obtaining the authorization of our company according to the law no. 163/2021 on the adoption of measures related to information and communication infrastructures of national interest and the conditions for the implementation of 5G networks will allow us to further develop products adapted to the technological reality, at the highest security standards.

Press release – BlueSpace Technology delivers TEMPEST equipment to Spain

The Romanian company BlueSpace Technology, the only private company in Eastern Europe producing TEMPEST equipment, announces its official entry into the Spanish market.

“After entering the Turkish market with BlueSpace Technology products a few months ago, we have now reached a new target, a market we were aiming for: Spain. The TEMPEST equipment passed the tests of the responsible authority in Madrid, the National Cryptology Centre (NCC), in May and was successfully delivered”, said Constantin Pintilie, founder of BlueSpace Technology.

The National Cryptology Centre (NCC) in Spain is the organization responsible for information technology security and the protection of classified information, which coordinates the activities of different organization’s in the public administration that use encryption resources or procedures and provide information technology security in all areas.

“The test procedure of the Madrid Centre is much simplified compared to the one in Romania. A manufacturer with evaluation capabilities, as is the case with BlueSpace TECHNOLOGY, must certify with the competent authority only one model equipment, versus the local situation, where each equipment is evaluated, in turn. this saves time, energy and money”, added Constantin Pintilie, founder of BlueSpace TECHNOLOGY

TEMPEST products are the flagship of BlueSpace Technology, being the first type of products executed. As of 2018, they are verified in our own Measurement and Analysis Laboratory, where they test the integrity of the equipment with the national, EU and NATO standards, according to SDIP27.

“The development of export areas for TEMPEST solutions contributes to the international recognition and appreciation of the private Romanian production capacity in the defense industry. Our next expansion target is Portugal”, underlined Constantin Pintilie. More information can be found here:

BlueSpace Technology at BSDA2023

The company’s CEO, Constantin Pintilie, attended the #BSDA 2023 Conference:

“For too long we have been buying only what our consultants tell us – “it must be a famous brand”, from masks to missiles to airships, everything military. We see foreign companies easily qualified because they have similar experience, while Romanian companies often work in second hand.

30 years ago, when I admired my uncle who was part of the team that made the Romanian 30mm anti-aircraft gun, I set myself the goal of one day putting my signature on something made in my country.

Here I am today, proudly representing BlueSpace Technology. But for innovation to make its way into local business, I think it is important that there is a willingness among political and military decision-makers to encourage Romanian companies to act with flexibility rather than complacency, and that there is the ambition and pride to produce locally and to stop being dependent on other countries.” – Pintilie declared.

PRESS RELEASE – Bluespace TECHNOLOGY launches the first 100% Romanian drone jamming system

BlueSpace TECHNOLOGY launches an innovative new product, the UAS drone combat system, the first of its kind manufactured in Romania.

The BS-JDP01 is a non-kinetic, portable and self-contained defensive equipment designed to neutralize unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by disrupting the main signals used by commercial UAS and S-UAS systems.

“It is with great enthusiasm that we announce the launch of the first anti-drone system made in Romania with local resources. The product has a range of 2 kilometers and has been tested and evaluated positively by the Ministry of National Defense. An important attribute is that it does not cause interference on existing communication networks outside the operating range,” declared Constantin Pintilie, founder of BlueSpace Technology.

The Romanian anti-drone system, which uses circular polarized directional antennas with reduced side lobes, is effective against unmanned aerial vehicles operating individually or in groups (swarms) and provides signal jamming in multiple, independent frequency bands. The equipment has an ergonomic design, being resistant to environmental factors, shocks and vibrations. It does not require long special training, the mode of operation being of the eye-and-shoot type.

“We are a dynamic team with a policy of continuous product development, and the intense activity of our R&D department allows us to constantly adapt to new technologies. The first Romanian anti-drone system is intended for both the national and international markets”, declared Constantin Pintilie, founder of BlueSpace Technology.

A new important step in the implementation of BlueSpace Technology’s most ambitious project: the design phase of the first Romanian armored vehicle has been completed.

VLAH is a state-of-the-art combat vehicle that we are developing together with our partners from the company Zetor Engineering.

“I am pleased to announce an update in the VLAH project, namely the completion of the design of the chassis. After the feasibility study, the preparation of all the 1D, 2D and 3D documentation, we will now carry out the functional tests for our most important product, the first 4×4 armored fighting vehicle produced in Romania”, declared Constantin Pintilie, founder of BlueSpace Technology.

The vehicle is designed according to the new defense strategy. The main components of the vehicle according to the feasibility study are from established European manufacturers such as the Mercedes MTU 4R 106 engine, the ZF8AP 1200S automatic transmission and the ZF VG750/400 transfer case from ZF Friedrichshafen AG, and the ADS AX60LP-HP axles from Advanced Design Solution s.r.o.

VLAH is intended primarily for the defense industry in Romania, being created with a major advantage: production and final assembly at local level, which translates into lower acquisition costs.

For the future technology equipment, there will be the possibility to add an electric motor to create a hybrid and, at the same time, quiet machine and the safety of the crew will be ensured by increased mobility and improved situational awareness on the battlefield with the help of integrated sensors.

The project started in 2022 and is due for completion in 2024.
