Indra Group, ready to lead the European military mobility challenge
Indra Group has presented its technological capabilities for the modernisation and improvement of military mobility in critical infrastructure, especially railways, to the European Union, positioning itself as a key partner in advancing European strategic autonomy and strengthening continental security.
Indra Group is the only European company with extensive capabilities in defence, rail transport and port logistics management, making it well-placed to deploy its technology in adapting infrastructure for dual use, with the aim of facilitating the agile and secure movement of personnel, military equipment and resources within and outside Europe.
The modernisation of military mobility is a priority for 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, with the aim of strengthening the Armed Forces' mobility capacity both in peacetime and in the event of possible crises, and improving interoperability between Member States. The aim is to overcome logistical, legislative and infrastructure barriers through modernisation, such as the digitisation of procedures, the improvement of infrastructure and the harmonisation of standards between countries.
In this context, Indra Group provides cutting-edge solutions based on its capabilities in artificial intelligence, cyber resilience, advanced control systems, signalling and infrastructure protection, track sensors and space capabilities for the tracking and monitoring of strategic assets, positioning it as a key partner in strengthening European technological sovereignty and ensuring autonomy in the development and maintenance of critical capabilities, reducing dependence on third countries.
Raúl Ripio, Managing Director of Mobility & Technology at Indra, stressed that "at Indra Group, we provide open, scalable and interoperable digital technologies that optimise rail traffic management and automate administrative procedures, simplifying logistics processes and improving coordination between countries. Digitalisation is essential to ensure smooth and efficient cross-border movement and is a key element in the modernisation of European military mobility. This is where our technological capabilities make a difference."
Another differentiating factor is that Indra Group has been working for years in countries that are strategic for military mobility in the current geostrategic context, such as Lithuania and Estonia, where it is the supplier of national rail traffic control and management systems.
Smart and sovereign technology
Among the advanced solutions that Indra Group offers to improve dual mobility in Europe, its open digital signalling technology stands out. Open Digital Signalling is an open, digital and cyber-secure ecosystem designed to guarantee railway operations. In this area, Indra also offers hybrid signalling solutions that use secure satellite communications and positioning environments to develop a satellite-based ERTMS system, protect infrastructure and make it resilient to cyber threats.
Indra Group's solutions provide maximum cyber resilience in terms of cybersecurity, telecommunications and energy supply for control systems, with the help of IndraMind, the sovereign AI platform that the company has designed to manage hybrid conflicts through a holistic approach to security and defence.
In addition, the company also offers systems for the physical protection of military mobility infrastructures, a strategic objective in crisis situations, through long-range optronic technologies and anti-drone shields designed to detect and neutralise hybrid threats such as sabotage, theft or drone attacks. Furthermore, Indra Group promotes the integration of railway infrastructure with military logistics centres to create dual-control access points with the highest levels of security and protection.
With its dual civil and military nature, Indra Group leads the development of solutions that combine cyber resilience, infrastructure protection, automation and cross-border control, energy independence and advanced digitalisation, essential pillars for the military mobility of the future, technological sovereignty and European strategic autonomy. This places Indra Group in a unique position in Europe to address the challenges of modern military mobility.
