By GlobalDataThe agreement is intended to facilitate development of technological solutions to address current security needs across multiple operational environments.
ELT Group is an Italian company specialising in developing and applying proprietary technologies for use in the electromagnetic spectrum and cyberspace.
Indra Group CEO José Vicente de los Mozos said that the agreement “opens instant opportunities to submit integrated and competitive proposals to European programs.”
Mozos noted these will combine “Indra’s experience and ELT’s expertise in advanced electronic warfare solutions, signals intelligence, spectrum monitoring, and the protection of critical communications in multi-domain environments.”
“By teaming up with ELT we’ll be able to bolster our joint capabilities, move forward in a coordinated manner within the European framework, expand our portfolio in prioritised areas, and provide sovereign solutions to increase our customers’ resilience and operational superiority,” he added.
In a separate development, Indra Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Leonardo to enhance cooperation in cyber defence.
The MoU seeks to jointly identify and expand opportunities within Europe, Nato, and other high-potential markets.
In July last year, Indra Group acquired Aertec Defence & Aerial Systems (DAS), a specialist in UAS, in a move to bolsterits presence in the uncrewed aerial systems sector.
