Indra has given more details about its work on upgrading Spain’s COAAAS (Semiautomatic Anti-Aircraft Artillery Operations Centre) with new air defence and counter-UAS systems at the Full Spectrum Air Defence (FSAD) week in London.
In 2025, the Spanish Army selected Indra Group to modernise COAAAS through a EUR2 billion programme covering 19 new SAMOC systems and a new generation of sensors.
“The modernised COAAAS is built around two core elements,” according to the company in a press briefing. “The tactical control layer is based on Indra Group’s AirDef C2 system, already in operation at the Spanish Air Force’s ARS air defence centres, ensuring a high degree of integration between the new SAMOC and existing air defence infrastructure. The sensor element introduces the MTR-10, Indra Group’s new Full AESA Multifunction Tactical Radar. The MTR-10 can operate in both rotating and static configurations, providing an increased refresh rate for tracking fast-moving targets. It can be deployed quickly, taking under five minutes from transit to operation, making it suited to dynamic front-line environments, with an ISO 20 footprint compatible with standard truck and aircraft logistics chains.”
