We create smart and reliable systems in an increasingly complex environment
The main challenge of companies that provide air navigation services for global air traffic management is to guarantee that aircraft flights are safe, efficient and profitable, and have a limited environmental impact, in a difficult context with constantly increasing air traffic. These challenges can only be met through cutting-edge technologies that satisfy our clients and that improve the service for both clients and end users.
The advanced automated air traffic control system offers one of the most state-of-the-art systems that meets the standards and practices recommended by the International Civil Air Organization (ICAO) and Eurocontrol.
The aim is to improve flight safety by providing controllers with reliable information on air traffic, flight plans and ground-to-air and air-to-ground data link messages. Offering a completely integrated and seamless solution that goes from Tower (ground) Control all the way to Approach and Area Control Operations for the industry means providing better service to users by modernizing air traffic management.

Our surveillance solutions aim to enhance air traffic safety and efficiency by providing our customers with advanced and reliable surveillance systems composed by modern and proven sensors with consistent integration platforms
We create solutions
Indra's surveillance systems have been deployed and operative from single surface aerodrome coverage to whole countries En Route surveillance.
By detecting targets inside the volume of airspace covered, Indra’s surveillance systems provide Air Traffic Control Centres with accurate and reliable information to enhance Air Traffic Controllers situational awareness.
We offer a wide range of radars and surveillance systems, based on ultimate technologies, proven by the most demanding customers (ICAO, Eurocontrol...) and guaranteed by the company's strong experience within this environment.
We grow alongside our clients
Indra is one of the very few companies in the world to manufacture and integrate the whole range of surveillance systems required in the Civilian ATM market, and contributes actively to the development of tomorrow's surveillance technology.

For the first time, the full communication value chain can be sourced from a single company, Indra. We provide a complete communication solution for air traffic controllers and other ATM stakeholders through our class-leading products: GAREX, Neptuno, Park Air and Startical.
GAREX is Indra´s next-generation full VoIP Voice Communication System (VCS) which provides our customer with capabilities for Ground/Air (G/A) data communications, between air traffic controllers and aircraft pilots, and Ground/Ground (G/G) data communications between air traffic controllers and/or air traffic centers for coordination and support, management and administrative personnel.
Neptuno is a recording solution for air traffic management that enables multichannel signal capture in analogue and digital environments. Neptuno is the Indra recording solution for air traffic management. It records with full availability and replays with accuracy the communications of the control centers and operator’s consoles. It has successfully proved its high availability in more than 400 sites on five continents where it has been installed.
Park Air radio communication systems deliver unrivalled RF performance, making them the first choice in demanding global operation environments. The Park Air T6 range covers all VHF and UHF airspace requirements. It benefits from the most advanced cybersecure technologies delivering highly resilient and secure communications.
Startical, a joint venture of ENAIRE and Indra which will launch a satellite constellation specifically designed for ATM. Startical will provide global satellite-based VHF communications and ADS-B surveillance coverage which is key to reducing separation of aircraft in oceanic and remote areas, thus reducing separation standards increasing efficiency and capacity while reinforcing the required level of safety. Additionally, it will serve as a backup for continental areas.

The growth of drone’s traffic is becoming a reality. The drone market is expanding its frontiers day by day, developing new applications in disparate sectors, from agriculture to mail or UAM (Urban Air Mobility) services.
As a result of the consistent proliferation of drones, it has become imperative to develop a solution that will enable their efficient integration into the airspace. What we need is a combination of technological and innovatory services that will permit safe access and control of drones, guaranteeing the maximum level of safety to all users. This solution has become reality: the UTM (Unmanned Traffic Management) system.
Indra Air Drones incorporates:
Two solutions for managing unmanned traffic:
UTM Hub: Virtual platform in charge of digitally centralizing and coordinating all data regarding drone operation in certain area. It enables communication and information exchange between the different actors of the system. It also allows real-time bidirectional interconnection with the ATM. The UTM Hub is an essential tool that will allow authorities to monitor and manage drones activity
UTM Connect: multi-platform USP (Unmanned Service Provider) solution that enables the connection between a drone and the UTM system. It is the nexus to every service, the path to grant connectivity and freshly renewed information to all users: drones, pilots, authorities…
A solution to detect and neutralize drones:
Crow: manages to detect and neutralize drones that invade unauthorized areas.
Through the joint integration of these three solutions, we create a global tool that permits the establishment of a safe lower altitude airspace in a local, regional and national context.
Furthermore, all of these solutions are compatible with the ATM system. Their integration increases every actor’s situational awareness, guaranteeing a complete solution that will meet the highest safety expectation, as the same time it contributes to enhancing the security levels.
With more than 100 years of experience in the ATM sector, Indra is the perfect partner to help develop and integrate the UTM, ATM and Crow (C-UAS).
We climb alongside our clients
In Indra we advise our clients in accordance to each country’s national drone regulation, whilst helping to develop such norms. After a profound analysis of our client’s specific necessities, we customize our response in order to build a progressive implementation program that will fulfil our clients’ requirements.
The UTM system may encompass the UTM Hub, the UTM Connect or both, with the possibility of being completed with the C-UAS Crow system for ensuring the protection of critical infrastructures such as airports.
Indra looks forwards to accompanying its clients through the entire process, integrating the UTM system with the ATM system. Our goal: guaranteeing a complete solution that guarantees the safety of our airspace.

A complete portfolio of ground-based navigational aids
ILS: Our market leading Instrument Landing System (ILS) provides precision guidance so aircraft can safely approach the runway at night or in bad weather. Known for its reliability and robustness, Indra’s ILS is the preferred choice for airports of any size or complexity.
DME: Our Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) has a proven record of reliable performance, with Indra being the sole provider of DMEs to the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The DME signal is transmitted between an aircraft and a DME ground beacon, to enable the aircraft to determine its distance from the beacon during the final approach.
VOR: Indra’s VHF Omni-Directional Range (VOR) is trusted worldwide for safe en-route and approach navigation. By sending omni-directional signals from a ground beacon, the aircraft can determine its position. The VOR is available in two configurations, Doppler (DVOR) and Conventional (CVOR).
TACAN: Tactical air navigation systems (TACANs), our latest addition to the navaids portfolio, provide military and civilian aircraft with the direction and distance to a ground beacon. We offer fixed-based, shipboard, and man-portable TACANs that all include redundant power supply to maximize availability and performance.
