• Indra’s systems address the major challenges in the region, including airspace defence, border  surveillance and the protection of natural resources and critical infrastructures 
  • Indra stands at the forefront of the development of radars, command and control and electronic  defence systems, sensors, flight simulators and cyber defence systems  
  • Its significant presence in Latin America means it can provide solutions tailored to the needs of  each customer, thereby helping to enhance the technological capabilities of its industry 

Madrid, March 28, 2025. – Indra will showcase at LAAD 25, Latin America’s largest and most important  defence and security fair, to be held in Brazil from April 1 to 4, its state-of-the-art solutions capable of  overcoming the main defence-related challenges faced by the countries in the region. 

The protection of its airspace and borders to halt illegal flights, unlawful activities and drug trafficking, illegal  immigration control, the surveillance of its coasts to protect its fishing grounds and natural resources, and the  protection of its jungles and large rivers are just some of the challenges addressed by Indra’s state-of-the-art  technology. 

Over the course of four days at LAAD 25, the company will showcase its most advanced air defence systems,  including the Airdef command and control system, the most sophisticated one to be found on the market at the  moment, and its Lanza family of radars, upon which leading armies rely.  

It will also showcase its Crow anti-drone system, which has been widely tested in real land and naval missions  and designed to detect, analyze and identify any drones flying in the area under protection, countering them  with soft and hard kill measures. 

In response to the growing strategic component of the Space environment, at LAAD 25 Indra will also unveil  the capabilities of its space object detection radar, a system with the latest technology operated by the Spanish  Air and Space Force and recently acquired by the German Air Force. This radar can help to accurately identify  the situational awareness of objects in low Earth orbit (LEO), supporting the safe operation of orbiting satellites  and facilitating secure access to Space.  

Through Indra Space, the group’s space subsidiary, it will soon become one of the few companies in the world  with the capacity to provide end-to-end coverage of the entire value chain of the space sector, from the  construction of satellites to the provision of Earth observation and extremely secure communications services,  the latter of which are vital in any current-day military operation. In partnership with the ENAIRE air navigation  service provider, Indra Group has also created the Startical company, which will deploy a constellation  comprising over 200 satellites to provide global air navigation services, particularly in oceanic and remote  areas. 

With regard to coastal and land border surveillance, Indra will showcase its iMARE command and control  system, which integrates cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence-based technologies and provides an additional  layer of efficiency when it comes to integrating and exploiting the information gathered by the sensors and  radars deployed to monitor movements along entire coastlines, as well as other sources of information such  as satellite observation and open source consulting. The company also boasts advanced solutions to  strengthen the underwater protection of ports and maritime borders by combining acoustic detection, sonar,  robots and advanced command and control. At present, the company’s systems cover the surveillance of over  5,000 kilometers of coastline in countries such as Latvia, Portugal, Spain and Hong Kong.  

Indra is modernizing platforms and systems in all the defence domains (land, sea, air, space and cyberspace).  It’s for this reason that Indra will attend LAAD 25 to showcase the highly advanced electronic defence systems  it has implemented in the ships and submarines of navies around the world. These include the mission  systems, sensors and situational awareness systems with which it’s digitizing the most modern battleships and  tanks. As well as the mission and self-protection systems that some of the new generation helicopters and  aircraft are flying with. Furthermore, as a leader and trailblazer of the development of new cyber defence systems, it will unveil the most advanced cyber situational awareness solutions currently in existence. It will  also showcase solutions designed to protect all kinds of critical infrastructures, covering both their physical  and cyber dimensions.  

Key technology for Brazil 

With a presence in ten Latin American countries and a team comprising over 16,000 professionals in the  region, Indra maintains close relationships with the Armed Forces of these countries, as well as the companies  and research centers of each nation it operates in, helping to enhance the technological capabilities of the  industrial fabric wherever it’s based. 

As a result of this collaboration, Indra recently launched an advanced In-Service Support Center (ISSC) in  Colombia to provide support throughout the life cycles of the land, naval and air systems of the different armies.  It’s now working on implementing another center of this kind in Uruguay, while it has also undertaken ambitious  air defence projects in different countries in the region, 

It has maintained a significant presence in Brazil for over three decades. It employs 7,000 professionals and  runs offices in the main cities in the country. The company has supplied and modernized the secondary radars  (MSSR) of the Air Force, helped develop the SISCOMIS military satellite communications system of its Armed  Forces, and provided the H225 flight simulator for Airbus/Helibras that trains the country’s military pilots and  the vessel traffic management systems for the port of Vitória. Moreover, through Minsait, another of Indra  Group’s subsidiaries, it has worked on projects key to the technological transformation of all the sectors in  Brazil.
