Indra has successfully tested its Nemus active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar on Leopard main battle tanks.
Designed for modern combat environments where drones pose a significant threat, the Nemus is a small and lightweight AESA radar that can identify false targets, resist jamming, and operate in extreme weather conditions.
The Spanish defense company tested the Nemus’ integration with the tanks, assessing its ability to detect, identify, and track drones, projectiles, and other anti-tank threats during an exercise at the Spanish Army’s Armored Units Instruction Center in Zaragoza.
Additionally, the tests were a continuation of the same exercise held in July 2024 at the Army’s Radio Evaluation and Experimentation Center in Guadalajara.
Indra and Leopard Tanks
The Nemus radar is part of a broader collaboration between Indra and Rheinmetall to enhance the Spanish Armed Forces’ Leopard fleet.
Spain operates two variants of the Leopard tanks: the older 2A4, of which some have been transferred to Ukraine, and the more advanced Leopard 2E, based on the 2A6.
Indra has contributed to several components of Madrid’s Leopard 2 tanks, including the design of the vehicles’ thermal cameras and the supply of the LINCE Battle Management System for the Leopard 2E.
In March 2025, Indra and Rheinmetall partnered to develop a control system and C4I (command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence) system for the Leopard 2E.
