Indra Group charts the new era of smart railways
Indra Group, one of the world's leading companies in mobility technology, is showcasing its technological potential to drive the new era of smart, safe and connected railways at Rail Live 2025, one of the main international events in the railway sector. The company is proposing a vision in which state-of-the-art open digital signalling, advanced infrastructure protection and cyber resilience, applied to both civil and military mobility, are integrated to completely transform railway operations.
Digital signalling is one of the main pillars for moving towards a modern and open ecosystem that allows the network to operate with greater efficiency, higher availability and enhanced safety levels. In this regard, Indra Group offers its Open Digital Signalling solution, a cutting-edge technology that guarantees the highest levels of safety and cybersecurity and also allows for the coexistence of all types of technologies, as it can be integrated with systems from different suppliers, with an approach that prioritises collaboration, innovation and safety.
Combined with its traffic management system (TMS), an advanced solution that offers operators a unique overview and allows them to automate operations, optimise network capacity utilisation, reduce operating costs and improve safety, and the company's In -Mova Rail platform, it paves the way for a future with satellite capabilities, where the use of secure communications and new positioning methods will enable the evolution towards a more robust, flexible and sustainable satellite-based ERTMS Level 2 system.
During its participation in Rail Live 2025, Indra Group is also showcasing its railway gantry solution, an advanced train and freight monitoring system that combines intelligent sensors capable of measuring loads, identifying dangerous goods and detecting anomalies in real time. This technology triggers automatic alerts to enhance operational safety and facilitate rapid and efficient incident management.
Pioneering dual technology for military mobility
Military mobility has become one of the strategic priorities of the European Union, which, as part of its ‘European Defence Readiness’ plan, has increased investment tenfold to promote the adaptation of the European rail and transport network, as well as publishing a roadmap with measures to ensure that civil infrastructure can also be used for defence purposes. In this context, Indra Group emerges as a unique benchmark on the continent in advanced capabilities in both defence and mobility.
In addition to its open digital signalling technology, the company complements this approach with hybrid proposals that incorporate secure satellite communications and positioning, reinforcing the resilience of the infrastructure and opening the door to a natural evolution towards more robust railway systems that are better prepared to face cyber threats.
Indra Group also provides physical protection systems for military mobility infrastructure, through long-range optronic technologies and anti-drone shields to neutralise hybrid threats. In addition, it facilitates the integration of the railway network with military logistics centres, with the aim of creating dual-control access points with high levels of security and cybersecurity.
Indra Group's leadership in the railway and defence sectors gives it a unique position, enabling it to address the challenges of modern military mobility across Europe in a unique way.
