Indra Group raises European space capabilities to a new level to enhance defence and security

Indra Group is driving its space activity to position itself as a key player in Europe by reinforcing its most advanced capabilities for Earth observation missions, secure communications, geopositioning systems, space surveillance, and the protection of strategic assets. These technologies are key to enhancing security and operational effectiveness in complex environments, and they’re designed to provide tactical and strategic superiority in the land, air, sea, and space domains.

With the creation of Indra Space, Indra Group will progress towards becoming one of the largest companies in the space domain on the continent, with the capacity to cover the entire space project value chain, including the design of the mission, the development and manufacture of the satellite, the design and deployment of the ground segment, and the operation of the mission.

One of its cutting-edge solutions is the Mini4EOsatellite, a space-based signals intelligence platform designed to perform effectively during high-throughput Earth observation missions that features excellent precision targeting and object focusing. It facilitates rapid deployment and adapts to a wide range of security and defence missions, such as border surveillance, controls of unlawful activities, monitoring of strategic movements and support for operations in remote areas.

Indra Group also provides advanced space surveillance and tracking (SST) capabilities, tools that are key to improving situational awareness to combat the threat of spy satellites and protect critical strategic assets. Its systems can analyze objects in all of the orbital regimes so as to assess the risk of a collision and monitor space debris. It also develops solutions for securing communications in space, an area of growing importance in the military and civilian worlds.

Another of its innovative systems is NAVISHIELD, an advanced protection solution for GNSS satellite navigation systems that’s equipped with a next-generation CRPA antenna to guarantee the integrity of critical navigation signals, including Galileo PRS, Galileo OS and GPS, in the event of any interference or signal spoofing, thus ensuring the reliability of positioning operations.

With its state-of-the-art technology, Indra Group is reinforcing its standing as a flagship supplier of space technology applied to defence, in its commitment to innovation and national and European technological sovereignty.
