Indra signs a new contract with Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace to equip 6 Type 212CD submarines with its electronic warfare and radar systems
The company strengthens its long standing relationship with Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace in one of Europe’s most significant submarine programmes, which is of strategic importance to Germany and Norway
This is the second series of submarines to be equipped by Indra with its latest generation fully digital electronic warfare systems and state of the art navigation radar, bringing the total number of platforms fitted with these capabilities to twelve
Indra has signed a new contract with Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA) for the supply of electronic warfare and radar systems for the six additional submarines of the Type 212CD programme to be incorporated by Germany and Norway into their fleets.
This new agreement continues the programme already under way, under which Indra is supplying the same capabilities for another six submarines, also destined for these two countries.
The company will equip the submarines with its electronic warfare system, based on full digital technology, and its advanced radar.
Indra’s systems will provide critical capabilities for protection, surveillance and superior situational awareness, helping to ensure maximum operational effectiveness in highly demanding environments.
Ana Belén Buendía, Indra’s Head of Naval Business Unit, said that “with the signing of this new contract, Indra consolidates its role as a key technology partner in one of the most advanced naval programmes in Europe, which is of strategic importance for Germany, Norway and the European defence industry as a whole”.
The Type 212CD is a next‑generation conventional submarine featuring air‑independent propulsion (AIP), with a common design for both countries. It has been conceived to reinforce the protection of North Atlantic waters and to ensure the highest level of interoperability with NATO.
With this milestone, Indra continues to advance its commitment to delivering cutting‑edge technologies for next‑generation naval platforms and to further strengthening European technological sovereignty in the defence domain. The company is one of Europe’s leading suppliers of naval systems for submarines operated by navies around the world.
