MRI in CABSEC, Curacao


It was the first time that IQPC organised this conference named Cabsec and held in Curacao. This island located 20 Miles North of Venezuela was the scenario that gathered multiple representatives of all kind of Forces that are fighting to keep the balance and peace in the Caribbean.



This area has been suffering the constant attacks of smugglers, drug dealers, fisheries thefts and many other crimes. In particular most of the drug that come from South America is coming through routs and sailing on these waters. Indra was one of the sponsors of this conference and we were able to give a speech demonstrating the capacities of the MRI. We had a mock-up of the real aircraft and many of the Forces present during the conference were able to come to our stand and have a look at the System.



After two days of conference we realised that this area of the world needs help and International Cooperation to protect their coasts and they need it now... Thus is where we believe that the MRI can help those Agencies that are run by small budgets and really need eyes in the sky.

MRI in Limex, Madrid


On the 20th of November we had the opportunitty to be a part of the Limex Conference held in Madrid. This conference gathered multiple authorities of different forces dedicated to security and defense, national and overseas. The subject of the conference was to expose the situation and the demands of the different forces represented. The necessity of implementing survelliance in Spanish coasts it´s imperative, in an economy run by budgets we strongly believe that the MRI could fill the gaps that others can´t.



We had the honor of inviting all the attendees to our headquarters in Casarubios del Monte,Toledo where we did a demonstration of the system. We started with an static display of the MRI.



After this we proceeded to start the engines, take off and execute the mission. We chose different targets that the system had to find, identify and revert to us in real time.



The results were amazing as we continue to improve the different modes of the radar and we look forward to get to a level beyond.



The new era of Maritime Surveillance has started to leave possitive impresions to the media, to the army and to the general public.

MRI in Farnborough, U.K


INDRA PRESENTS ITS NEW P2006T MRI MARITIME AIR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM AT FARNBOROUGH

The surveillance system's aircraft installation already has the EASA CS23 aeronautical certification

At the end of the fair, the aircraft will begin test flights with the Seaspray 5000E radar at Cumbernauld Airport



The Maritime Light Surveillance System, based on the P2006T MRI aircraft, will be presented at the next edition of the Farnborough Aeronautical Fair, which will begin on 9 July. The plane will be in the static exhibit area destined for medium surveillance aircraft.

The Maritime Surveillance configuration of the P2006T, which has been designed and developed by Indra, has already received the EASA CS23 aeronautical certification for the modification involved in the surveillance system's installation. Once the fair has ended, the aircraft will travel to Cumbernauld Airport (near Edinburgh), where the test flights for the Seaspray 5000E electronic scan radar (AESA) it is equipped with will take place.

The appropriate combination of a light twin-engined aircraft with a high wing configuration, of which more than 160 units have been delivered, equipped with a state-of-the-art mission system, an AESA radar, an electro-optical large format high resolution and state-of-the-art system, an AIS vessel identification system and Indra's ISIS mission system, results in an airborne surveillance system that is suitable for operations in maritime areas from the coast to 150 miles outward, with purchase and operating costs that are hard to match.

The characteristics of the AESA radar, specifically of its SAR modes, combined with those of the infra-red camera in the electro-optical system, make the platform especially suitable for environmental monitoring in marine settings.

The airborne system's operations are linked to a mission control centre located on the ground via a state-of-the-art dedicated radio-link and via satellite. This link makes it possible to monitor the mission in real time from the ground as well as the operations of the mission system from the control centre, allowing the system operator to remain on land for the execution of certain missions.


European leader in maritime security

Indra is a leader in the development and start-up of coastal surveillance systems in Europe. Its technology currently controls more than 3,500 kilometres of borders throughout the world and cover most of the Iberian Peninsula's coast, the entire coast of Latvia and the coast of the Dead Sea in Romania. It also leads the Persesus project, which is an ambitious initiative driven by the European Union to develop and test a maritime surveillance system by integrating the national systems that currently exist throughout the continent. Beyond Europe, Indra has developed a surveillance system that controls the coast of the Island of Hong Kong as well as the archipelago of more than 200 islands within its administrative region.

The company also works in the field of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), with a focus on when they can legally be used in civil airspace. The company has already performed tests in Spain to assess the capabilities of this type of platform in carrying out maritime surveillance missions.

MRI in DSA Kuala Lumpur


On the 16th of April we attended the DSA show in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Prior to this show we have been present in the IQPC Conference and the Singapore Air Show on February. The main reason why we introduced the MRI in Southern Asia is because we strongly believe that the numerous islands, the weather, economic policies, between many other factors, make this area the perfect scenario to successfully operate the MRI.



The DSA stats in 2012 were impressive:
  • 50 companies from 48 countries/nations
  • 40000 square metres (gross)
  • 26,980 trade visitors.
  • 324 delegations from 41 countries/nations.
  • 420 journalist.




Over the South East Asia takes place one third of maritime commerce of the world. Unfortunately, it is highly affected by constant pirate attacks, smuggling and many others law offenses. The MRI Maritime patrol aircraft is a tailor made solution to prevent these felonies. We have proven confidence on our state of the art mission system, together with our platform, will allow the client to efficiently reinforce the fight against intruders at a cost that cannot be matched by any other system.

Indra was present in a fix stand at pavilion 1 in the show, where we showed a model of the MRI, videos, dossiers as well as technical documents.



We were proud to receive numerous visits from delegations, Navies, Air Forces, Coast Guards and many others. The result, as expected, was very positive and we have created solid relations that will take us to open this market in the near future.

MRI in FIDAE, Chile




On March 26th took place in Santiago de Chile the largest aviation show in all South America. FIDAE it´s a bi-anual meeting that gathers companies and proffesionals from all over the world. Here you can meet the most relevant people in this industry. Latin America unfortunately faces major problems regarding piracy, smuggling, drug dealing and many other crimes. We believe that the MRI it´s a perfect weapon to fight against this and that´s why we decided to attend the show.

Indra has been stablished in Chile since 1995, has over 700 employees and more than 200 clients in different markets. Most of the countries in South America have huge coastlines. There is a large number of businesses such as maritime commerce, fishing and oilfields that are held in the open waters or close to the coasts. It´s been a large number of attacks to these businesses and now we have a solution to give them protection at a low economic cost.


Here you can see the spanish and chile´s representatives from Indra that attended the show.

We brought the mock-up model of the MRI and all the technical documentation as well. The result was very positive, many clients show an enormous interest and they will come to Spain by the end of the summer in order to test the MRI. South America opens a large market and enormous opportunities.

MRI in Marrakech


We presented the MRI in Africa for the first time. We were located in the best spot of the show, right across the entrance hall. The idea was to introduce the system in a continent that does not have big budgets to protect their boarders from intruders. Africa has not developed radars or cameras to carry out surveillance missions. This is way we believe that we could help to protect African´s boarders in a very efficient and cost effective way.

The show
Marrakech Air show proves to be Africa's foremost trade show for civil and military aviation. It is for a fact a major mouthpiece for the industry in the African region. Under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.under the aegis of the Ministry of Equipment & Transport, The Ministry of Industry, Trade & New Technologies, with the official support of the Moroccan Military Air Forces "FRA", in partnership with GIMAS, IEC organized the 3rd edition of Marrakech Air Show 4 to 7 April, 2012 in the FRA Military Base – Marrakech Airport.

Marrakech Air Show in figures:
  • 50,000 visitors
  • 400 exhibitors.
  • 30 participating countries.
  • 80 foreign civilian and military delegations.
  • 200,000 sqm exhibition space.

Visits
We were honored to receive the following visits:
  • Forces Royales Air (Maroc).
  • Gendarmerie Royale (Maroc).
  • Général Armée de l’air (Sénégal).
  • Guinée Equatorial Air Force.
  • Niger Air Force.
  • Marine Marchande (Maroc).
  • Office National Des Aéroports (Maroc).
