BlueSpace Technology at SEESOF 2025 – Romanian Innovation for Special Operations and Smart Air Defense

BlueSpace Technology participated from June 4–6, 2025, in the inaugural edition of the Southeast Europe Special Operations Forces Forum (SEESOF 2025), the first event in Romania exclusively dedicated to Special Operations Forces. The forum was organized with the support of the Ministry of National Defense in collaboration with partners from the military, academic, and industrial sectors.

At its own booth, BlueSpace Technology unveiled for the first time the OKYA 5601 next-generation containerized C-UAS system, an integrated Romanian solution for smart air defense.

“OKYA 5601 is a system conceived, tested, and built in Romania specifically to meet the modern challenges of air security. It is a product that can be adapted and upgraded in line with global technological developments. Most importantly, we can manufacture it entirely in Romania, at fair and sustainable costs – which makes it not only high-performing but also accessible for our partners both at home and within strategic alliances,” said Constantin Pintilie, CEO of BlueSpace Technology.

The system provides intelligent multi-sensor detection: full HD EO/IR cameras, fixed 3D radar, and acoustic/RF analysis for precision identification; adaptive countermeasures: smart jamming with adaptive beamforming and autonomous micro-UAVs for physical drone capture; and real-time data fusion: full integration of radar, RF, EO/IR, and acoustic data into the command and control system (C2). The solution is fully developed and manufactured in Romania, addressing modern air security challenges for critical infrastructure and deployed forces.

Romanian Technology, Presented by Experts

Our team members were present at the booth to showcase the solutions developed by BlueSpace Technology and to provide detailed information to visitors, international experts, and defense partners. In addition to the C-UAS system, other high-tech products were also featured:

• SHIELDED ENCLOSURES – robust casing solutions offering maximum protection for equipment used in sensitive environments
• TEMPEST Solutions – secure IT infrastructures designed to safeguard classified information in accordance with the strictest NATO standards. BlueSpace Technology is the only private producer of TEMPEST-certified equipment in Eastern Europe with official NATO recognition.

SEESOF 2025 brought together the elite of the Special Operations Forces from 16 countries, 110 national and international companies, security experts, government officials, academic representatives, and foreign military personnel from SOF structures. The event marked an important step in advancing international cooperation in the field of security.

On 20th of March, BlueSpace Technology CEO, Constantin Pintilie, attended the Romanian Industrial Defense Capabilities Assessment Conference.

“The state-owned defense industry needs a serious shake-up, joint ventures with mature private companies from Romania or abroad should be established, and functional management methods and measures must be implemented—ones that follow competitive rules and workflows to ensure positive performance. However, perhaps the most critical need is the establishment of a Sales and Marketing Department to bring in contracts and oversee their implementation,” stated Constantin Pintilie.

During the conference, the conclusions of the study “Romanian Industrial Defense Capabilities Assessment: Development of a Strong Homegrown Industry” were presented and debated. The study was conducted by the global strategic consulting firm Kearney, based on Romania’s National Strategy for the Defense Industry 2024-2030.

“The current geopolitical landscape is entirely unpredictable and demonstrates that a nation’s survival depends not only on its defense capabilities but also on how it secures strategic resources, develops advanced technology, and builds industrial independence. Only through joint efforts can we rebuild a strong defense system and develop a country prepared for such a geopolitical context,” added Constantin Pintilie.

The event, held at the Palace of Parliament, was attended by political and governmental decision-makers, representatives from NATO and the EU, leaders from the defense industry, investors, security think-tank experts, and specialized media representatives.

BlueSpace Technology welcomed the official delegation of the Aerospace and Defense Trade Mission to Romania on March 4, 2025. This strategic initiative aims to strengthen the bilateral partnership between the United States and Romania and was organized by 47G – the Utah Defense Contractors Association, with the support of the U.S. Embassy’s Commercial Office and Black Sea Strategies.

The delegation, led by Aaron Starks, CEO of 47G, was welcomed by BlueSpace Technology’s CEO, Eng. Constantin Pintilie, who guided the guests on a tour of the company’s production facilities. Together with Marian Sima, Commercial Director, the American delegation was introduced to BlueSpace Technology’s products, while Bogdan Georgescu, Technical Director, presented the VLAH, the first light tactical armored vehicle (ATBTU) designed and developed in Romania.

The delegation also visited the TEMPEST analysis laboratories, where, since 2018, BlueSpace Technology has been testing and verifying equipment in compliance with national, EU, and NATO standards, following SDIP-27 regulations to ensure integrity and conformity. Corneliu Calistru, Production Director, highlighted the company’s expertise in this strategic field.

Following the facility tour, Constantin Pintilie, CEO, and Marian Sima, Commercial Director, held a presentation about the company’s activities and explored potential collaboration opportunities with the American delegation.

“The American representatives were impressed by the innovations and technological capabilities developed in Romania, reaffirming our country’s potential. Collaborating with U.S. partners represents a strategic growth opportunity for us, and we remain deeply committed to this sector. Our NATO accreditation as the only private company in Eastern Europe producing TEMPEST equipment reflects not only our cutting-edge technological expertise but also Romania’s strategic importance in an increasingly complex international landscape. We firmly believe that, through this exchange of expertise and our openness to new technologies, we will significantly contribute to strengthening security and innovation both locally and internationally,” said Constantin Pintilie, CEO of BlueSpace Technology.

47G, headquartered in Utah, is recognized as the most dynamic business ecosystem in the defense, aerospace, and cybersecurity industries in the United States, with over 250 member companies, including leading technology manufacturers, service providers, government entities, and academic institutions.

Cutting-edge field test: simultaneous detection of 20 drones in all directions!

In a world where drone threats are becoming increasingly complex, we are developing a system capable of facing the most challenging operational scenarios.

During the test carried out by our team, the system demonstrated the ability to simultaneously detect up to 20 drones in all directions, including commercial models and custom FPV drones, at a distance of up to 10 km.

✔️ Designed for real-world scenarios: detects and manages both commercial and customized drones

✔️ 360° omnidirectional coverage for complete protection

✔️ Real-time integration for monitoring, tracking, and counteraction.

We are delighted to support the 21st edition of the International Junior Science Olympiad by providing logistical support through the donation of mice and memory sticks for the participants of this prestigious competition.

The Olympiad is an interdisciplinary event bringing together talented young minds in physics, chemistry, and biology. It serves as a platform for academic excellence, collaboration, and cultural exchange among students and teachers from over 60 countries.

Romania has a remarkable tradition at the IJSO, participating since 2004 and earning nearly 100 medals (gold, silver, and bronze).

The knowledge and skills developed through education are gifts we give ourselves, ones that no one can ever take away.
