cofounder & executive president of Centum


ho or what is Centum, and why might you care? For over 15 years, Centum, headquartered


in Vigo, Spain, has been designing and developing mission airborne systems that assist search and rescue (SAR), intelligence, surveillance and recognition (ISR), maritime surveillance, firefighting, emergency communications, and border- control missions.

So, why should you care? Well, if you’re ever lost in need of help, or you’re looking for the lost in an SAR mission, you jolly well will care! Let’s say you’re flying an SAR mission. Chances are very good that the person you’re seeking has some sort of cell phone and that’s very good for you — and them. Centum’s Lifeseeker airborne phone location system is based on the premise that the cell phone is the world’s most widespread beacon, and it turns cell phones into emergency beacons capable of guiding rescue teams to a lost person’s exact location. The system also allows rescue teams to communicate with the missing person — without the need for that person to do anything — and has proven itself in thousands of successful missions over five continents.
