Demonstrator to be Delivered Under Santiago Programme

Under the Spanish national ‘Santiago’ electronic defence programme, Indra is to develop a next-generation strategic electronic intelligence (ELINT) system to enhance the Spanish Navy’s ability to detect, classify and extract intelligence from the signals emitted by potentially hostile radars.

The demonstrator to be delivered incorporates the latest advances in digital signal processing and associated technologies that underpin current development of the future ELINT capabilities of Spain’s other armed forces, thus maximizing resources and ensuring seamless data sharing. Indra’s extensive work in other aspects of the Santiago programme have attracted the interest of several foreign navies. With its European partners, Indra has also been extensively involved in development of the DASS Praetorian EW system that features on over 500 Eurofighter aircraft in seven countries, and has developed the advanced electronic defence pod in operational use with Spain’s F-18s.
