Indra To Present Maritime Light Surveillance System At Farnborough 2012

Spanish defense giant Indra will present the Maritime Light Surveillance System based on the P2006T MRI aircraft, at the Farnborough Aeronautical Fair on 9 July. Designed and developed by the company, the Maritime Surveillance configuration of the P2006T has already received the EASA CS23 aeronautical certification for the modification involved in the surveillance system's installation. The light twin-engined aircraft has 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 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.
