Indra Group presents cutting-edge technologies for the five Defence domains at FEINDEF

At FEINDEF 25, Indra Group will showcase some of the highly advanced technologies it’s incorporating into its defence and aerospace systems, as well as next-generation digital technologies key to guaranteeing the superiority, sovereignty and strategic autonomy of Europe and other allied countries.

The main innovations to be exhibited this year at FEINDEF, at which Indra will boast the largest exhibition area, covering more than 1,500 m2, will include:

• The multi-domain combat cloud, one of the critical systems for providing the Land, Sea, Air and Space armed forces with the capability to coordinate simultaneous actions that ensure maximum effectiveness.
• The new VALERO multi-purpose air vehicle, which has been designed to fly autonomously and carry different kinds of payloads, depending on the mission to be fulfilled.
• The Maestre mission system for military vehicles and tanks, the first and most advanced of its kind on the market and currently in serial production in Europe.
• The Nemus radar, which protects vehicles against drones, projectiles and missile attacks.
• The IndraMind intelligence platform to automate critical military and multi-domain operations, bringing together all of the company’s experience in applying AI to highly advanced defence systems and programs.
• Space technologies applied to defence to provide mission-critical Earth observation, communication and positioning capabilities.
• The ECYSAP cyber-situational awareness system, a cyber defence system pioneer in Europe that merges information on the real-world situation and activity in cyberspace to assess the impact on the mission.

Indra Group’s main stand will be located in Hall 10-D05 and the static exhibition will be held in Hall 4-EO1/2. It will also attend the NGWS/FCAS program stand in Hall 10-E14.

Indra plans an impressive deployment of its command and control capabilities in all of the domains at FEINDEF. To do so, it will have a room in which it will replicate, with the utmost realism, a command and control center to demonstrate how the future Strategic Command and Control (EC2) system it’s developing for the European Union will be operated, the AirDef system it’s deploying at the air command and control centers of the Air and Space Force, the COAAAS+ anti-aircraft artillery operations control system and the ECYSAP cyber-situational awareness system, which is a pioneering cyber defence solution in Europe. It will also present the iMare intelligent coastal surveillance system and the future sub-system for the surveillance, control and coordination of anti-drone and civilian drone traffic management systems in the U-space.

Land vehicles

In the terrestrial domain, the company will arrive at the event with reinforced leadership, having made progress in the creation of its Indra Land Vehicles subsidiary. It is also forging ties with major international players in the industry, including Rheinmetall from Germany, with which it has extended its partnership for the development of combat systems for the Leopard family of tanks, Patria from Finland, Hanwha from South Korea and Otokar from Turkey.

It will also exhibit an 8x8 Dragon combat vehicle, loaned by Tess Defence and equipped with several systems used by Indra to digitalize it, including the above-mentioned Maestre mission system. The Nemus radar, which protects vehicles against drones, projectiles and missile attacks, will also be on display at its stand.

Together with the systems for terrestrial platforms, Indra’s Lanza 3D radar family, one of the most advanced systems on the market, and the truck equipped with its MTR radar for anti-aircraft operations will be on display at FEINDEF.

Air and naval dominance

In the air domain, Indra is the national coordinator of the NGWS/FCAS program and one of the key European companies involved in the evolution of the Eurofighter, particularly the CAPTOR radar in its new electronic scanning versions, and the CIT-M enemy identification system. It will also exhibit an electronic warfare pod for aircraft and a VALERO multi-role air vehicle.

In the naval domain, we should highlight the presentation of the new version of the CROW anti-drone system, which incorporates the company’s IKEEPER radar. It will also showcase its range of radars, IFF identification friend or foe systems, electronic warfare systems and satellite communications for surface ships and submarines, including the conning tower of the Spanish S80 submarine equipped with Indra systems, which will be on display at its stand.

Space domain

In the space domain, Indra Group is set to become one of the largest companies on the continent and the only one with the capacity to cover most of the sector’s value chain, from the mission design, through the development and manufacturing of the satellite, the design and deployment of the ground segment, to the operation of the mission. Its MINI4EO Earth observation satellite will be exhibited and its telescopes and radar for detecting objects in space will be unveiled at FEINDEF 25.

Moreover, with regard to training, the company will showcase a new generic fighter simulator known as NEXUS, which has been designed to provide immersive training. Indra is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of simulators, having provided civil and military systems to customers worldwide.

Finally, Indra will present its breakthroughs in logistics and sustainment 4.0 for weapon systems and all kinds of platforms, a factor of the utmost criticality when it comes to ensuring the operability of any modern army.

With this impressive deployment of technologies, Indra Group will demonstrate that it is a leading group that’s defining the future of defence around the world while decisively overcoming the challenges and meeting the needs of the most demanding and advanced armies.
