The company has signed a framework agreement with this agency to develop a solution that will give service to several European Armed Forces. The first contract arising from the agreement is the management system for the Tiger helicopter program.
This agreement has strengthened Indras position in the international market as a global supplier of logistics systems.
Indra has signed a framework agreement with the European agency OCCAR (Organization for Joint Armament Cooperation) to implement a logistics information and defence program life cycle management system.
The first order from this framework agreement, which will last until 2022, is to develop the information management system of the Tiger helicopter project and the common functions of the solution. The agency will progressively extend the system to incorporate other programs.
Indra competed with the leading companies in the sector in the international open tender for this framework agreement. This award has strengthened the companys position as a supplier of IT solutions for logistics management systems in the international market.
The solution is developed for the programs under OCCARs responsibility. This means that it will give services to all countries involved in them.
The main processes it will cover are technical event management, engineering support, spare part analysis, equipment configuration control and the maintenance and integration of systems.
This will enable OCCAR to share information with the countries that have participated in the multinational programs it manages, such as the Tiger helicopter, in an agile and precise manner.
Accordingly, the armed forces of these countries will obtain maximum performance from the platforms and systems they acquire, achieve maximum operability and slightly reduce their maintenance costs.
Indras management system also incorporates a Business Intelligence module that provides reports, indicators and other functions to aid strategic analysis and decision making. This will rationalize usage of the systems and their maintenance costs.
The solution proposed by Indra is based on a modular and scalable SOA (Service-oriented Architecture) approach with a flexible data model based on the PLCS (Product Life Cycle Support) standard, with a high integration capacity. The main commercial products used are IBM Maximo Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) and Oracle Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) for the integration of services.
International Success
Indras strategy to compete in the international market is based on a commitment to develop its own solutions. This approach and its 20 years of experience in the development of similar systems have enabled it to win this major project for the OCCAR.
Indras close collaboration with the Spanish armed forces and law enforcement agencies includes the development, commissioning and operation of the logistics systems of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Civil Guard. These systems cover everything from material storage and distribution to the maintenance of equipment, vehicles and supplies.
Indra is Spains number one technology multinational and one of the leaders in Europe and Latin America. Its R&D investment level 550m in the last three years is the second highest in Europe in its sector. Its turnover in 2011 was 2.688bn and today more than half of its income is from international markets. The company employs 40,000 professionals and has customers in 118 countries.
