Indra will show for the first time its new Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Prisma-S radar at the benchmark international fair in naval defense and maritime technology Euronaval, which will take place next week in Paris (France).
This system is based on 4D Full Digital AESA technology and is designed to equip the new generation of European and allied military ships with "more advanced" air and surface surveillance capabilities, essential to operate in today’s scenarios, according to the company said this Friday in a statement.
In addition, Indra will bring to this show its solutions for multidomain capabilities supported by the naval combat cloud, various systems for submarines and technologies intended to strengthen the protection of infrastructures located on the seabed.
Air warfare and anti-submarine warfare functions
Regarding the characteristics of the new radar, the multinational has indicated that it is the "latest and most advanced of its naval radars", a 4D Full Digital multifunction radar capable of taking on air warfare, anti-submarine warfare and long-range target designation missions. Along with the distance, azimuth (direction) and altitude data, the sensor incorporates the target’s speed information, which makes it easier to follow its trajectory and designate it with great precision.
"Prepared to operate in saturated electromagnetic environments, it has the capacity to withstand the adversary’s possible countermeasures," the firm has indicated, which defines it as a "decisive" system to guarantee European and allied superiority in increasingly demanding operational scenarios. At the same time, the company emphasizes that it is attending this international event "leading" the drive for new multidomain capabilities in Europe.
In this way, Indra will present the advances achieved in the development of the Nimbus combat cloud, the first solution of this kind that has proven its effectiveness in NATO naval maneuvers, in REPMUS 26, where it facilitated connectivity and the exchange of information in real time between ships, unmanned surface vessels and Indra’s Tarsis unmanned aerial vehicle, a fixed-wing drone with ISR capabilities.
During the fair, the company chaired by Ángel Simón will also present its approach to seafloor surveillance systems, "a capability that Europe needs to strengthen to protect gas pipelines, energy and communications transmission cables, and its network of ports." Likewise, those who come to the technology company's 'stand' will be able to learn about the set of solutions developed by Indra to improve the surveillance, connectivity, and stealth of submarines.
Among these systems is the iKeeper-iS20 navigation radar, with low probability of intercept and dual use, both in standard mode and in continuous wave; the TSUB-40 satellite communications system, available in different versions that allow operation in the X, Ka or Ku bands and with three-axis pointing capability; the Pegaso NG electronic warfare system, aimed at providing greater situational awareness; and the company's friend-or-foe identification IFF system.
