Indra has successfully tested its Active Protection NEMUS radar against drones and projectiles in Leopard combat cars at the Instruction Center of the Acorazated Units (CENAD) of the Army of Earth in Zaragoza, as reported by the company in a statement.
The tests have aimed to verify that the Nemus radar is integrated into the Leopard platform within the framework of exercises that give continuity to the tests carried out by Indra last July with this same platform at the Radioelectric Evaluation and Experimentation Center (CEAR) of the Army in Guadalajara.
“The Nemus system, the most advanced in its class in Europe, is based on an AESA electronic sweeping radar, small dimensions and weight, designed to settle in mechanized vehicles and combat cars to detect, identify and monitor drones, microdrones and all kinds of projectiles, from anticarro missile Activate the necessary countermeasures to neutralize them, “the company has detailed.
In addition, the system is endowed with intelligence to discriminate against false whites and resist attempts from the adversary to interfere with its operation through ‘Jamming’ techniques, which consist of blocking radio signals.
Indra has stressed that Nemus is also distinguished from other systems “for its ability to operate in extreme weather conditions”, both moisture and cold or heat.
The company has stressed that this technology is “key” to ensure the sovereignty and autonomy of “any European army”, since it is “essential” for modern operations, “in which the massive use of relatively low cost drones has been imposed, but that represent an important threat to large value assets such as leopard.”
