The current air defence system development project will help improve the capacities of the Colombian defence industry. It will also help advance all other initiatives of the Grupo Social y Empresarial de la Defensa (GSED), the social and business group for defence.
CODALTEC and Indra will jointly develop a command and control system designed to receive information provided by different sensors. The system will combine them to offer a comprehensive and integrated vision of the real scenario for military officers.
The command and control system will be capable of detecting any risk and taking immediate and necessary actions to neutralise it.
CODALTEC and Indra signed their first cooperation and technology transfer agreement in 2014, which concluded last year with the delivery of an advanced high-mobility tactical radar.
