Indra has closed a €90 million ($104.22 million) deal to work on developing the new radar system Captor-E for the Eurofighter, the company announced on 19 January.
A team of more than 100 engineers will be required to carry out innovation and development work over the next few years.
The NATO Eurofighter and Tornado Management Agency (NETMA) had signed an agreement in November 2014 with representatives of the European industry to develop and integrate a new technologically advanced radar system. The development of Captor-E is a part of this agreement.
The system's electronic scanned array technology and the antenna's ability to move will bring Eurofighter Typhoona very wide field of view. Additionally, the new radar has great potential for the development of a wide range of capabilities and features, such as carrying out several operations at the same time.
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
The Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) and Drone Restricted Access Using Known Electromagnetic Warfare (DRAKE) counter-UAS (CUAS) systems are mounted and dismounted RF jammers.
Adarga’s Vantage information analysis tool is in service with the UK MoD and individual UK forces. It builds on the company’s Knowledge Platform which processes, organises and analyses open source material, as well as information held by the user’s military, security and intelligence services.
