Indra Sistemas S A : Group consolidates its position as a benchmark in lightweight electronic warfare in Europe and presents a new tethered drone-mounted system at Eurosatory

About this update from Indra Sistemas, S.a. Class A

Indra Group is presenting at Eurosatory an innovative electronic warfare system mounted on a tethered drone that operates connected to a 4x4 tactical vehicle. This is one of the solutions with which the company is positioning itself as a benchmark in Europe in the emerging lightweight electronic warfare segment, where demand continues to grow. The system consists of a quadcopter equipped with electronic warfare payloads in the communications band, capable of raising sensors more than 100 meters to extend their range by tens of kilometers. As a result, it detects and identifies adversary communications, including both voice communications and data or remote-control links used by drones, one of the major threats facing any land deployment. Installed on a tactical vehicle, the system protects advancing units on the move, making it harder for the adversary to coordinate maneuvers and attacks. (Name), (Title) at Indra Group, explains that "the lessons learned in Ukraine have led armed forces to demand a new type of much lighter electronic warfare system, with a more tactical character and conceived to operate as a node in a network". By contrast, traditional electronic warfare systems -based on command centers and much more powerful ground stations with longer range- retain their strategic role and, precisely because of their greater value, generally operate in the rear or in more protected environments. The new lightweight electronic warfare systems, on the other hand, are simpler, lighter and more affordable, designed to operate much closer to the adversary and to be easily replaceable if necessary. Under this new approach, Indra Group is developing an entire new range of electronic warfare systems fully geared toward enhancing operational effectiveness on the battlefield. A program to modernize electronic warfare The company is developing these systems for integration into aerial drones of different types and sizes, unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and light tactical vehicles, as part of the Special Deployable Electronic Warfare Modernization Program for the Spanish Army and Navy, which it leads. An important feature of the systems to be installed in these tactical vehicles is that they will all share a common configuration, enabling rapid transfer between platforms. They can also be used independently, either mounted on tripods in fixed positions and/or car...
