Indra is the world leader for Flight Data Processing Systems, having supplied over 40 installations worldwide and has grown to be the leader Air Traffic Management system supplier in Europe for the last years. In December 2008, Indra supplied Eurocontrol with the new next-generation interoperable Flight Data Processing System at Maastricht Upper Area Control Centre, one of the busiest and most complex en-route Air Traffic Control Centres in Europe.
The implementation of this Flight Data Processing System is a high technological advance directed to improve the safety, capacity, efficiency and environmental performance of Air Traffic management in Europe, and actively contributing to achieving the European’s Commission Single European Sky objectives.
Indra has been selected by the most advanced European Air Navigation Service Providers to develop the future Air Traffic Management systems following the Single Sky Concept, through the iTEC Program (Interoperability Through European Collaboration). This is currently formed by AENA (Spain), DFS (Germany), NATS (United Kingdom) and LVNL (The Netherlands), with Indra as industrial partner.
Since 2009, Indra is full member of the SESAR Joint Undertaking, participating in more than 120 projects within the Programme and co-leading both WP10 (En Route and Approach ATC) and WP12 (Airports), as well as playing a key role in many projects under WP14 (SWIM), WP15 (Non-Avionics CNS) and WP13 (NIMS).
Indra has also been actively involved in other projects like EC-SAFEMOBIL, SUAV, SINUE and CERES, where different system architectures and waveforms for C2 BRLOS datalink were analyzed regarding the safety performance requirements. It is worth to highlight that Indra was proposing a methodology for assessment of the RCP during CERES project and subsequently it was disseminated through WG73.
In addition to this, Indra has had a major role in the MIDCAS Project, which has had the mission to demonstrate the baseline of solutions for the RPAS Mid-air Collision Avoidance Function acceptable by the manned aviation community and being compatible with UAS operations in non- segregated airspace. Indra has been responsible for the Simulation Environment used for testing the D&A system, including Real Time, Fast Time and ATC simulations. Among other responsibilities, Indra also developed the Traffic Avoidance function and participated in D&A related documentation (e.g. standardization documents, CONOPS, TS, IRS …).
