Indra will supply ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS), one of the world's
leading shipbuilders, new satellite communications systems for submarines.
The company has already completed the design of systems to be installed
in the submarines built in Germany. These are KU band systems based
on a three-axis stabilized platform, already developed by Indra for
previous export contracts with this manufacturer. |
The
terminal provides fast and secure communications, notably amplifying
the transmission's bandwidth. In addition to increasing the ships' data
transmission capacity, the time during which antennas are exposed to
radar detection by ships and aircraft is reduced.
Furthermore, these terminals are equipped with the capacity for using
commercial and military communications satellites, thereby broadening
the coverage of communications and lowering operating costs.
With this project, Indra reinforces its good relationship with ThyssenKrupp
Marine Systems since the 2010 contract for the first satcom terminals
and electronic warfare systems for class U212 submarines destined for
use by the German Navy.
In recent years, and thanks to the trust deposited in us by the German
manufacturer, Indra has equipped, or is in the process of equipping,
the submarines of Armed Forces worldwide with its satellite communications
systems, amongst which are those of Portugal, Italy or Turkey.
Growing market
The demand for submarines by different States has grown in recent years.
Indra maintains in this field of activity a wide array of state-of-the-art
solutions, fruit of our continuous efforts and commitment to R&D&i.
This consolidates the company as a solid competitor in the international
market.
In this regard, the company, as well as the mentioned X and Ku band
satellite communications systems, also has electronic defense systems,
low-probability-of-intercept (LPI) radar systems and identification
friend or foe (IFF) systems already supplied to the Armed Forces of
several countries. In addition, Indra offers maintenance services for
electronic, optical and sonar systems.
On another hand, beyond the market of submarines, latest generation
ships and boats of the Spanish Army and the Armed Forces of other European,
Asian and Latin American countries are fitted with Indra's electronic
defense systems, radars and communications systems. |
