Indra Partners with German Navy to Enhance K130 Corvettes with Cutting-Edge Rigel Defense Systems
Indra will deliver the second series of K130 corvette-class ships to the German Navy, featuring its advanced Rigel electronic warfare system. This enhancement substantially boosts the operational capabilities of these vessels, even in the most complex environments.
The company has finalized a critical partnership with the naval systems provider Atlas Elektronik to supply five Rigel RESM/RECM systems (Radar Electronic Support Measures/Radar Electronic Countermeasures).
This vital technology equips the ship to surveil electromagnetic spectra and detect active radar signals within its vicinity.
Moreover, it facilitates the simultaneous engagement of various active threats through a range of jamming and decoy techniques.
Indra has incorporated sophisticated broadband digital reception technology into its solution to ensure unparalleled sensitivity and detection capability, granting a considerable edge to the vessel.
All these functionalities have undergone extensive testing, yielding exceptional outcomes in the most demanding real-world electromagnetic scenarios. The system guarantees the best response time and precision in such settings.
This solution complies with the rigorous standards set by NATO nations, who demand top-notch performance levels.
Partnership with the German Navy
Indra has already deployed its RESM/RECM systems in the initial batch of K130 corvettes currently operational in the German Navy.
As a result, this technology has been validated by the client, meeting the criteria of one of the most technologically sophisticated military forces.
Indra collaborates with leading shipyards worldwide, including Navantia, Italy’s Fincantieri, Germany’s tkMS, Korea’s DSME and HHI, and the Dutch Damen.
In the field of electronic defense, Indra maintains a robust international leadership position, having developed systems that safeguard various aerial, naval, and land platforms. Over a hundred naval vessels and submarines around the globe leverage Indra’s electronic defense solutions.
