The SIMBA self-protection suite provides efficient protection against all kinds of threats. A control center receives and processes alerts from radar signals, missile launches or laser-guided weapons, providing information to the pilot and reacting to alerts identified as dangerous by dispensing flares.
Indra's ALR400 radar warning receiver (RWR) system, which incorporates the suite's control functions, is based on advanced digital wideband reception techniques and has already been deployed in fighter aircraft, military transport aircraft and all kinds of helicopters.
There is a general consensus that the greatest threat today to air platforms used in international missions comes from thermal-guided missiles (known as MANPADS). To meet this threat, Indra has developed the InShield system.
InShield is a series of directional infrared countermeasures (DIRCM) based on a high-energy laser that confuses the seeker heads of MANPADS.
The operational cycle is complemented by a complete offering of ground support equipment for verifying and validating missions, loading the functions libraries of equipment and analyzing the flight data.
Indra can also supply air platforms with identification friend or foe (IFF) solutions that incorporate the most sophisticated civilian (Mode S) and military/NATO (Modes 4/5) identification modes.
Keys
- 13 armed forces have placed their trust in Indra's technology, which now protects over 400 air platforms
- Indra's ALR400M radar warning receiver system and TXP2000 transponder have been selected internationally to equip the entire fleet of the Airbus A400M, the new long-range military transport aircraft
- Indra has self-protection references in the F1, F18, CN235, C295, A400M, Super Puma, Cougar, Chinook, Tiger, NH90 and CH53
- DIRCM experience in Indra have added a demonstrated effectivity unprecedented in NATO´s EMBOW XIV trials. This was the first time a DIRCM system had ever been used in this type of exercise
