MADRID, Sept. 9 (UPI) — Indra, the Spanish electronics company, is supplying satellite communications systems for submarines to ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems.
The equipment to be supplied are KU-band systems based on a three-axis stabilized platform, which were developed by Indra for previous export contracts with the German company.
Indra said its satellite communcations terminal amplifies transmission bandwidth, increasing data transmission capacity.
The terminals are capable of using commercial communications satellites as well as military ones.
“With this project, Indra reinforces its good relationship with ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems since the 2010 contract for the first satcom terminals and electronic warfare systems for class U212 submarines destined for use by the German Navy,” Indra said.
Indra did not disclose of value of the contract, the number of systems to be provided to the shipbuilder, or other terms of the contract.
