Accelerate Defense Modernization through Strategic Sourcing
Discover cutting-edge solutions from leading global suppliersIndra introduced its signals intelligence solution (SIGINT) at Euronaval in Paris – which detects radar and active communications in the ship’s environment and checks them against its libraries to determine whether they pose a potential threat.
The system’s size, weight and power consumption has been streamlined for its installation on virtually any vessel, from patrol vessels that have been in service for several years to newly built ships.
The system can operate in isolation, in the case of vessels with less electronic equipment, or integrated in the complex network of sensors on board state-of-the-art vessels. All of its threat detection, analysis, classification and identification functions have been automated for simpler operation.
Maria del Mar Pomares, responsible for the solution at Indra, said; “With this system we provide any ship and navy with capabilities that until now were reserved only for the most advanced vessels or those specializing in intelligence work.“
Pomares added; “At Indra we believe that no ship can operate without this type of system, which is essential to detect attacks with enough time to react.”
With this electronic intelligence system, Indra brings to market a solution that includes advanced features derived from this extensive experience. The new system is capable of monitoring the entire electromagnetic band simultaneously and detecting low probability intercept (LPI) signals used by ships and submarines trying to hide themselves. It is set up to operate in environments where the adversary tries to conceal its presence and has an extensive library to compare the signals collected and identify the type of radar or communications system involved.
