Indra Group heads to Eurosatory in Paris as a leader in innovative solutions for military vehicles
The 8x8 Dragon vehicle developed by TESS Defence, in which Indra Group is the main shareholder, will be displayed for the first time at a major international defence event
Indra Group will also showcase its mission system for military vehicles, which manages the vehicle’s sensors and systems; its battle management systems (BMS) and 360º vision, which facilitate coordination between land units and command networks; and AI applied to military vehicles to support decision-making and facilitate mission execution
The Tarsis vertical take-off and landing drone, a loitering munition system, an electronic warfare solution mounted on a tethered drone, the ARACNE counter-drone system, the NEMUS AESA radar for vehicles and the MTR family of AESA multifunction radars for counter-battery, air defence and surveillance are all part of the company’s major technology display at this important European event
Indra Group will attend Eurosatory, the leading European land defence exhibition, which will be held in Paris from 15 to 19 June 2026, as a company leading the digitalisation of land vehicles in Europe with next-generation systems and having developed some of the most cutting-edge drones, counter-drone systems, electronic warfare systems and radars on the market.
The company will have a stand in Hall 6 (A245) and a presence in the TEDAE (Hall 6, H225) and Rheinmetall (ExtPe6b-F115 / ExtPe6b-F116) areas.
At this edition of Eurosatory, the 8x8 Dragon infantry combat vehicle developed by TESS Defence, a company in which Indra Group holds a controlling stake, will be displayed for the first time at an international defence event. The vehicle, which has already been delivered to the Spanish Army, is Spain’s main armoured vehicle modernisation programme.
During the event, Indra Group will also present its mission system, responsible for managing all the vehicle’s subsystems and sensors, and its battle management system (BMS), which is used by virtually all Spanish military vehicles and enables real-time sharing of tactical and operational information between units and command networks.
The company will also showcase several use cases for artificial intelligence applied to 360º vision systems for military vehicles, both with Indra’s LSAS (Local Situational Awareness System) sensors and with the See-Through 360º Vision Goggles. This capability makes it possible to identify threats, prioritise alerts and support decision-making in complex environments, especially in urban areas where reaction times are reduced to a minimum. The intelligence layer provided by the IndraMind sovereign intelligence platform allows the vision system to analyse images in real time in order to detect and identify people and platforms, distinguish between friendly and hostile forces, assess the level of threat and ambush risk, propose protective measures and present the best possible course of action to the crew.
Teresa Cabezón, Head of International Business Development, Defence at Indra, said: “Indra develops state-of-the-art systems for the five defence domains and leads the development of advanced multidomain capabilities that provide land units with high manoeuvrability, situational awareness, intelligence and far greater decision-making speed than the adversary, supported by sovereign AI over which countries and command authorities maintain full control”.
In this regard, the company is presenting systems that expand land combat capabilities, such as the TARSIS-VTOL vertical take-off and landing drone, designed for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions, and a loitering munition drone capable of carrying out precision attacks against targets in depth.
Another of the new systems it will bring to Eurosatory is its communications electronic warfare system mounted, as a payload, on a tethered drone flying connected to a high-mobility 4x4 vehicle. The system can jam communications and protect friendly units as they advance, and its development forms part of the company’s commitment to lightweight electronic warfare solutions.
Indra Group will also showcase the ARACNE system, one of the most advanced solutions for countering drone attacks, which can be deployed in fixed, semi-static and mobile configurations on land vehicles and which at Eurosatory will be shown integrated with a SmartEar radio-frequency detection system; the Brontes jammer for signal interference; the NEMUS AESA radar, capable of detecting threats and providing precise data for their neutralisation; an electro-optical camera from EM&E; and a weapon station, also from EM&E, that provides the system with hard-kill capability.
At the latter company’s stand, visitors will also be able to see Indra Group’s NEMUS AESA radar integrated into a military vehicle to provide drone and projectile detection, identification and tracking capabilities, enabling the automatic activation of protective countermeasures.
As a European leader in the manufacture of air and air-defence radars, the company will display one of the radars from the MTR family on a Rheinmetall truck, which can be seen at the latter company’s stand. This new generation of radars for air defence, anti-aircraft defence and surveillance, based on multifunction AESA technology, offers very short deployment and redeployment times, making them especially suitable for today’s combat scenarios. They are also the perfect complement to Indra’s Ground-Based Air Defence Command and Control (GBAD-SAMOC) systems. Finally, Indra Group attends Eurosatory as a company playing a key role in European programmes such as FAMOUS, MARTE and AURIGA, aimed at developing the continent’s future armoured vehicles and battle tanks. It also leads a large number of land systems modernisation programmes, including the programme to define the architecture of Spain’s future Advanced Land Combat System (PAMOV), the Spanish Navy’s 8x8 amphibious combat vehicles for the Marine Corps (VACIM), wheeled bridge-laying vehicles, tracked and wheeled self-propelled howitzer systems, as well as the modernisation and digitalisation of combat vehicles.
