IndraMind, Indra Group´s sovereign AI to combat hybrid warfare and protect citizens

Indra Group today officially launched IndraMind, the first Spanish technological initiative that develops sovereign AI in a cyber-resilient environment for the comprehensive protection of citizens, territories and critical physical and digital infrastructures and assets, thereby taking a decisive step towards strategic superiority and technological sovereignty.

“IndraMind is our response to a new situation, using our knowledge to instantly promote technological sovereignty in Spain and Europe”, declared Indra Group executive chairman Ángel Escribano on Thursday. This proposal strengthens the company’s leadership of innovation and the development of technological solutions to place our country at the forefront of the digital transformation of critical systems.

“In recent months we’ve consolidated our commercial standing in alignment with three key trends in the security and defence market: cognitive superiority (intelligence and decision-making), autonomous operations and cyber-resilience”, explained Indra Group’s CEO, José Vicente de los Mozos.

As for Ignacio Martínez, the director of IndraMind, he defined the new technology as “a digital brain that enables systems to think, decide, and anticipate while speeding up the execution of operations. We’ve developed a solution that not only overcomes today’s challenges, but also anticipates future ones, with a vision focused on intelligence as a driver of transformation. Its ability to learn, adapt, and operate autonomously in real time makes it a key tool for the new era of critical systems”.

IndraMind has been built on over two decades of company knowledge, experience and capabilities in the areas of cybersecurity, cyberdefence, electronic warfare, artificial intelligence, autonomous platforms (drones and anti-drones), massive data management and command and control systems.

“Artificial intelligence and advanced software are transforming the security and defence market. IndraMind is making a name for itself as a unique specialist in the market, because it integrates the entire value chain into its proprietary new generation products”, highlighted IndraMind CEO Ignacio Martínez.

The international context is beset by uncertainty and the acceleration of hybrid risks. Threats to national security no longer operate in silos. An attack can simultaneously focus on cyberspace, critical infrastructures, and public services, blurring the boundaries between civil security and military defence. This new reality demands a coordinated and unified response.

Technological sovereignty and intelligent response for comprehensive protection and critical security

IndraMind is positioning itself to provide a strategic response and reinforce the protection of essential assets and citizens. Its deployment is helping consolidate the technological sovereignty of Europe and Spain and their allies, in keeping with the modernization plans driven by European funds and national security and defence policies.

IndraMind’s capabilities can cope with situations in the civilian and military fields. “It’s a matter of applying all of the technology that we’ve developed and pledged to develop at Indra Group to situations such as border surveillance, emergency management, and protecting critical infrastructures from physical and digital attacks. I’m referring to technological sovereignty in data, algorithms, AI, software, and the infrastructure that everything’s based on”, explained Martínez.

Speed is vital in critical missions, enabling intelligent agents such as drones and autonomous systems with AI to act in a coordinated manner. This is why optimizing decision-making and automation is key. IndraMind has the capacity to process large volumes of data in real time, allowing for the anticipation of threats and appropriate responses.

It’s launching its operations with a turnover totaling over €300 million and a workforce made up of 3,000 highly qualified professionals. The company will address current-day challenges such as hybrid warfare through a comprehensive approach to security and defence, applying dual technology solutions geared towards ensuring both an operational edge in critical situations and deterrence capabilities.

Regarding the power of technology, IndraMind brings sovereignty, understanding, action, and strategic superiority to our present and future.
