EM&E Group, Indra Group, and Intersoft Electronics Services signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) yesterday at BEDEX (the Brussels European Defense Exhibition & conference) to offer C-UAS to the Belgian defense market.

The solution combines EM&E Group’s capabilities in electro-optics and weapon stations with Indra’s experience in radar and command-and-control systems, resulting in a comprehensive and integrated C-UAS solution effective in diverse operational scenarios. By joining forces with Intersoft, a Belgian leader in radar and CNS technology, the companies will market C-UAS integrated solution in Belgium, providing this market with cutting-edge technology for the detection, identification, tracking and neutralization of drones.

This alliance between EM&E Group, Indra Group, and Intersoft drives the European Union’s strategic autonomy by developing 100% sovereign defense technology, reducing external dependence, and ensuring more resilient and interoperable airspace protection against current threats.

In the words of Gabriel Coloma, Business Development Director for Europe of EM&E Group: “We are pleased to offer our optronics and hard kill capabilities to the Belgian market through a complete and integrated C-UAS solution. This alliance is an example of how industrial collaboration contributes to strengthening the European defense technological and industrial base.”

For his part, Teresa Cabezón, International Defence Business Vicepresident of Indra, stated: “Our ability to establish collaborative partnerships enables us to move faster, deliver better systems, and provide customers with the highest level of service throughout the entire lifecycle. The agreement comes at a time when European countries and the EU are moving forward with the creation of a ‘drone wall’ to protect the eastern flank.”

The Managing Director of Intersoft Electronics Services, Domien De Ruyck, added: “EM&E’s advanced defense systems and engineering capabilities are highly complementary to the radar and CNS expertise of Intersoft Electronics and the broad defense portfolio of Indra. This MoU creates a powerful framework to deliver integrated, futureproof solutions to our customers. Signing this enhanced agreement at BEDEX Brussels marks an important milestone in our collaborative journey”.
