UTM

The lack of integration between UTM and ATC systems is constraining the scale up of actual drone applications. To allow the safe access of these new actors in the current airspace is necessary to use new tools that provide appropriate, secured, updated and reliable information.

Indra provides the most comprehensive portfolio of solutions and services to integrate drones safely in the airspace, developing your UTM-based business or mitigating UAS threats.

ATM/UTM Integration

Interoperability is key for the success of ATM and UTM integration, using safe and secure technologies and standards to enable drone operations in all airspace classes.

UTM Hub

FIMS/CIS platform to provide the single point of truth of critical information and other services tailored to meet your needs.

UTM Connect

Cloud multiplatform USSP (U-space Service Providers) with a scalable design that enables end-user (pilot, drone operators and others) to fly their drones safely.

Indra's ARMS Antidrone System

Simple, flexible and scalable solution that provides the most advanced tools to combat UAS threats.

UTM/U-space Consulting

Indra’s technical divisions and ALG business consulting work together on the most innovative UTM projects, offering comprehensive solutions that go from project inception and strategic assessment to the effective deployment of the UTM infrastructure and services.

Startical

ENAIRE and Indra will launch a constellation of satellites into orbit to improve air traffic management

• They will deploy a constellation of small satellites that will enable surveillance and communication services to be provided, especially in remote areas and oceanic regions that are not currently covered by air navigation systems based on terrestrial infrastructures.

• The technology solution proposed is a pioneer in the world, as it integrates the satellite surveillance function of the aircraft’s position with voice and data communication by radio between the controller and the pilot.

• ENAIRE and Indra’s satellite platform will increase flight safety, capacity, efficiency and punctuality, reducing global CO2 emissions by 13 million tons per year by 2030.

Digital Remote Tower System

A complete digital solution for remote towers and contingency centers

Indra's tower solution is ideally suited for a remote and digital tower environment owing to the high integrity, fusion and automation gained from years of operation at major airports around the world. The integration of displays, sensors and information makes this solution the ideal platform for emerging tower platforms —for digital, contingency or remotely controlled airports.

It provides full situational awareness and the market's best image quality from the IRTOS seamless stitched panoramic display, 4K resolution with night mode, automatic flight labeling, enhanced with autonomous visual functions based on advanced deep learning architectures to implement automated functions such as:

   • Visual detection, tracking and labeling in panorama and fusion with ground tracking systems

   • Automated aircraft detection and tracking based on visual tracking and/or surveillance tracking at more than 10 NM

   • Smoke and fire detection

   • Bird flock detection

   • Detection of abnormal aircraft configuration on landing

   • Detection of abnormal aircraft configuration on take-off

Additionally, it can be integrated with InNOVA, the only tower system that allows controllers to manage multiple airports from a single integrated display to maximize efficiency, and can also be integrated with Indra's anti-drone solution to boost airfield safety.

Simulation and Virtual Reality

A pioneer solution based on Microsoft HoloLens to improve the design of air routes, reducing fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and airline costs, while contributing to minimizing sound pollution in urban areas near airports.

The Looking Glass Project at London Heathrow Airport is based on modelling 3D precision departures and arrivals at Heathrow airport, where the future expansion of the third runway has been added, providing a glimpse of the possibilities this technology offers.

The solution takes advantage of the possibilities offered by mixed reality, combining both real and virtual worlds, enabling their real-time interaction.

ATM in the cloud

Indra is taking a step forward in the technological evolution of the Air Traffic Management applications towards the virtualization paradigm to offer a cloud-based infrastructure support.

Deploying an ATM System in a high performance cloud infrastructure provides significant improvements in resilience, system capacity, advanced cybersecurity capabilities and a remarkable reduction in ATM System operational costs (OPEX) for our clients.

Indra’s proven expertise in both ATM and cloud delivery, together with leading technological partners significantly increases client and solution delivery satisfaction.

Indra provides several advanced delivery models for ATM systems:

On-premise solution

In this delivery model, ATM system services are installed in dedicated hardware resources located on-premise and held by the client. This solution can be adapted to provide standalone architectures or can be combined with cloud solutions as local contingency systems.

Hybrid cloud solution

This approach provides an optimized solution where the most critical services, such as the live operational ATM system, are allocated to a private cloud, while the simulation, training and testing of the ATM systems are allocated to a public cloud with an associated cost per use and no maintenance costs.

Private cloud solution

This solution provides clients with all the ATM system services (Live Operational, Simulation and Testing) in a centralized and geo-redundant datacenter located within a Private Cloud managed by the client. This solution is mainly designed for the Live Operational ATM System.

Public cloud solution

Public cloud delivery model provides clients with extremely flexible and fast delivery solutions with no extra costs for hardware purchasing, deployment or infrastructure maintenance, and the operational costs are only associated to the use of the ATM system services.

Resilient networks of ATM centers

Achieving high service availability figures, as close to 100% as possible, has been at the heart of the design of modern ATM systems for decades, as the air traffic management network is considered a national critical infrastructure throughout Europe and the rest of the world.

Indra Air solutions are designed to provide the highest resilience to the network of centers where they operate, implementing the virtual center concept defined by SESAR.

Technologies such as virtualization and WAN remote displays, together with the improved speed and reliability of digital communications, make it possible to fully decouple the processing servers from the operations rooms, which enables ANSPs to adapt the capacity to the demand in a much more dynamic manner. This, in turn, achieves further value out of infrastructure investments.

The interconnectivity of the ATM network of centers offers significant opportunities for real improvement of "network resilience". ANSPs could even provide air navigation data services to their neighbors in case of disruption, or even temporarily take over part of the control of their airspace until the situation returns to normal.
