Indra Group presents IndraMind, Intelligence for critical multidomain operations
The Indra Group presents IndraMind, the intelligence designed to maximise the automation of critical operations and ensure superiority in multidomain operations, two decisive challenges for defence, but also for the modernisation of civil infrastructures that are key to the economic development and well-being of society.
The Indra group thus enters the race to provide Europe with its own capabilities in the absolutely strategic field of AI and the development of key concepts of systems interoperability, cloud computing, advanced sensorisation and technological hybridisation.
The future theatre of operations is characterised by increasingly complex, sophisticated, asymmetric and demanding environments, with new threats. The volume of data is growing exponentially, as is the difficulty of understanding it and the complexity of decision-making.
What at first glance could be a clear threat, IndraMind turns into an advantage, providing intelligence that brings greater dynamism in accessing information to decide and operate effectively and in line with each threat, at a speed that the opponent cannot match, at all tactical, operational and strategic levels.
Its architecture is open-layered, interoperable and secure, and acts as connective tissue. With a modular and scalable structure, it facilitates the deployment of capabilities adapted to the needs of each operational environment, which also gives it greater flexibility in the face of future technological advances.
The president of Indra, Ángel Escribano, stated that ‘the Indra Group has been working for years on the development and application of intelligence to different pioneering programmes and systems in the world of defence. The launch of IndraMind marks the beginning of a new era in intelligence for the automation of critical operations and for superiority in multidomain operations, and it also forms part of the beginning of this new Indra’.
IndraMind, superiority in all domains
In the new complex defence scenarios that are arising, situational awareness requires the consolidation of large volumes of data from multiple sources. Through IndraMind, the company not only guarantees a unified vision, but also facilitates mission-focused knowledge.
Linked to this, Indra has led pioneering European cyber defence projects such as ECYSAP EYE, EU-GUARDIAN and ECYSAP, which identifies and evaluates cyberattack risks in real time, estimating their spread and possible impact on the mission.
IndraMind is also applied in the mission system and 360 vision system for new generation armoured vehicles, an evolution of solutions developed within the framework of the 8x8 programme, which use AI to automatically identify patterns, behaviours, threats and opportunities and facilitate the survival of the crew and the achievement of the objectives set in the mission.
IndraMind's ability to identify and classify threats in real time opens the door to the development of a new generation of electronic warfare systems and civil and military radars with greater precision, responsiveness and adaptability.
In terms of decision-making in multi-domain combat and collaborative warfare, IndraMind improves the performance of command and control systems or the multi-domain combat cloud. In this sense, the company is the coordinator of the consortium that develops the European Command and Control System, EC2, and the national industrial coordinator of the Future Air Combat System (FCAS).
IndraMind is also essential in the automation of operations, through which it achieves improvements in the precision and capacity of optronics and radars on land, air and naval platforms, counter-drone systems (C-UAS) and border surveillance.
It also increases the sophistication of wargaming processes and operational research on synthetic environments, two functions covered by Indra's Centre of Excellence in Development, Concepts, Experimentation and Operational Analysis, which works on mission planning and the study of the most complex military problems.
In the space sector, Indra applies this intelligence system to increase the performance of Indra's orbit object detection radar, one of the most advanced in the world.
Finally, IndraMind is also applied in the civil sphere, facilitating, for example, the digitisation of critical security systems, such as the one that Indra has deployed in the first intelligent air traffic management platform in a public cloud and with the largest aeronautical database in the world.
The Indra Group is fully aware of the implications of using this type of technology in defence, security and critical systems. Using structured and unstructured data from high-precision real or synthetic sources, the company applies governance and processes that ensure the security, integrity and quality of this data to adapt it to needs and drastically improve the speed and accuracy of information flows.
Likewise, the company controls the experimentation and development cycle of its algorithms so that they comply with regulations and guarantee their traceability in terms of explicability, ethics and responsibility.
