Indra attends MSPO, the largest defence event in Central and Eastern Europe, with critical air defence, counter-drone and electronic warfare technologies
It presents a fully integrated air defence, anti-aircraft and counter-drone solution, providing multilayered and in-depth surveillance and detection capabilities and designed to operate in combination with the company’s land-based electronic warfare systems
One of the key elements of this solution is AirDef, the company’s air defence command and control system, one of the most advanced in Europe thanks to the level of interoperability it provides
The company will also showcase its airborne self-protection solutions, including the ALR-400 radar warning receiver and the InShield DIRCM countermeasure system, as well as NEMUS, a compact, lightweight active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar designed for integration into counter-drone systems and for the protection of battle tanks and vehicles
Indra’s presence at MSPO reflects its commitment to Poland, where it is already deploying new radars for the Polish Air Force and promoting collaboration to create sovereign industrial capabilities, strengthen the local industry and develop joint solutions with potential in other markets
Indra is attending MSPO, the leading defence fair in Central and Eastern Europe, held from 8 to 11 September in the Polish city of Kielce, as a benchmark company in the development of new multidomain capabilities and a leader in air defence, counter-drone, electronic warfare and simulation systems.
The strategic relevance of MSPO goes far beyond the framework of a traditional defence fair, as Poland and neighbouring countries face hybrid threats and incidents on a daily basis targeting critical infrastructure, industrial facilities and border and airspace surveillance and protection systems, as a result of their direct support for Ukraine’s efforts against Russian aggression. This makes the event a unique showcase in which to present the real and current capabilities of Europe’s defence industry to end users.
Against this backdrop, Indra will showcase at MSPO its distinctive capability to deliver a fully integrated, multilayered and in-depth air defence, anti-aircraft and counter-drone system, essential for responding to saturation attacks in which a large number of threats must be detected and neutralised simultaneously.
One of the key components of this solution is the company’s AirDef air defence command and control system, one of the most advanced in Europe thanks to its high level of interoperability with all types of systems and sensors.
Also standing out is Indra’s C-UAS counter-drone system, which has proven its effectiveness in real missions and features a powerful command and control centre that provides it with great flexibility to incorporate each armed force’s own sensors and effectors.
This integrated air defence system can also operate in combination with land-based electronic warfare systems, such as the radar and communications electronic warfare stations that the company will display at MSPO. All these capabilities are decisive in enabling a true drone wall to protect Europe’s border.
Protection of aerial platforms and military vehicles
Indra is also bringing to the event its ALR-400 RWR airborne radar warning receiver and its InShield DIRCM infrared countermeasure system, which protects aircraft against air-to-air and surface-to-air missile attacks, including MANPADS. The system has already been installed on the A400M military transport aircraft and is designed to protect all types of aircraft, including special-mission platforms such as the A330 MRTT.
Another system expected to attract strong interest at MSPO is unquestionably Indra’s NEMUS active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, a sensor designed for integration into counter-drone systems or active protection systems (APS) for land platforms. The system was recently selected by Rheinmetall for integration into its StrikeShield APS system.
Finally, Indra will showcase simulation systems for the training of pilots and tank and military vehicle crews, based on the premise that constant training is a decisive factor in the success of any operation.
Commitment to Poland
Indra has a solid position in Poland as a company working on key programmes, modernising the country’s air bases with state-of-the-art radars needed to support the operation of latest-generation fighter aircraft.
The company is attending MSPO at a time when Poland and other countries in the region are making a major investment effort in defence and require technology partners such as Indra, capable of providing advanced capabilities, promoting local industrial development, facilitating technology transfer and fostering joint R&D projects.
Indra is promoting a collaboration model that goes beyond technology transfer and is based on the creation of sovereign industrial capabilities, the strengthening of the local industrial fabric, the joint development of technologies and products, and the coordinated offering of these capabilities in third markets, generating sustainable value for all parties.
