The main goal was to validate the integration of the Nemus system into the Leopard platform. The exercise follows previous tests conducted in July at the Radioelectric Evaluation and Experimentation Center (CEAR) in Guadalajara.
The Nemus is a compact and lightweight active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, developed to protect armored vehicles against modern threats such as drones, microdrones, and anti-tank projectiles — including missiles, grenades, and hypersonic arrow-type munitions. It enables real-time detection, identification, and tracking of these threats, automatically activating the necessary countermeasures to neutralize them.
In addition to its precision, the system includes artificial intelligence to distinguish real targets from false positives and to resist electronic interference (jamming) used by the enemy. Another advantage is its ability to operate in extreme weather conditions, including very low or high temperatures and high humidity levels.
Developed entirely in Europe, the Nemus radar stands out as one of the few systems of its kind produced on the continent. Its adoption is considered strategic to ensure the sovereignty and operational autonomy of European armies, especially given the widespread use of cheap but dangerous drones in modern conflicts.
The system is part of Indra’s strategy to digitize and enhance the intelligence of military vehicles. The company recently strengthened its presence in the land sector by taking control of Tess Defence, boosting its subsidiary Indra Land Vehicles, and forming alliances with key players in the defense industry.
