Rigel Electronic Defence System

‘See’ the Enemy Beforehand with Indra’s

It was recently announced that Indra, one of the world’s leading companies in providing proprietary solutions in specific segments in Transport and Defence markets, would equip the second series of K130 corvette class ships of the German Navy with its latest generation Rigel electronic defense system. The company has signed a contract with the naval systems company Atlas Elektronik and will deliver five Rigel RESM/RECM systems (Radar Electronic Support Measures/Radar Electronic Countermeasures).

Rigel Electronic Defence Systems is a state-of-the-art solution that incorporates the most advanced digital reception technology to guarantee maximum detection range and sensitivity and to counteract any radar signal. It can operate in some of the most complex environments, making it possible to 'see' the enemy before it detects the presence of the vessel. The first series of K130 corvette class ships, currently in service with the German Navy, already operate with this system, which meets NATO requirements. Over a hundred navy ships worldwide have been fitted with Indra's electronic defence system.

It is a key technology that allows the ship to track the electromagnetic space and detect active radar emissions in its environment. It also allows multiple active threats to be countered simultaneously by means of disturbance and deception techniques. The company has incorporated broadband digital reception technology into its system to guarantee the maximum sensitivity and detection range possible, which provides a remarkable superiority to the ship.

All these capabilities have been tested with excellent results in some of the most difficult and complex real electromagnetic scenarios. The system offers optimal response time and precision in this type of environment. The solution meets the demands of the NATO countries, which require the highest levels of performance.

Working with the World’s Leading Shipyards

Indra has already implemented its RESM/RECM systems in the first series of K130 corvettes that are currently in service with the German Navy. Therefore, it is a technology that the customer has tested and that responds to the needs of one of the most technologically demanding armies.

Indra works with the world's leading shipyards, including Navantia, the Italian Fincantieri, the German tkMS, the Korean DSME and HHI and the Dutch Damen.

In the field of electronic defence, it maintains global leadership after having developed systems that protect different types of air, naval and land platforms.
