Among Escribano's projects in this field, the design of a mission system based on optical means for aircraft stands out. The project known as Sumentis one of the initiatives she chose Center for Technological Development and Innovation in Spain (CDTI) inside Aviation Technology Program Which seeks to promote the development of technologies with applications in this sector.
Two other companies are also participating in the consortium, Initum And Wavenet radio engineeringand the National Institute of Aerospace Technology (INTA)the main investigative body of the Ministry of Defense.
