Eurosatory 2026: Indra to Integrate NEMUS C-UAS Radar into Rheinmetall's StrikeShield Active Protection System
Indra Group has signed an agreement with Rheinmetall to integrate its NEMUS AESA radar into the modular architecture of the StrikeShield Active Protection System (APS). NEMUS can simultaneously detect low-speed drones as slow as 10 m/s and high-speed kinetic threats exceeding 2,000 m/s, significantly enhancing battlefield survivability for next-generation armored vehicles. The partnership is expected to draw attention at Eurosatory 2026.
Highlights
- Indra Group and Rheinmetall signed an agreement to integrate the NEMUS AESA radar into the StrikeShield Active Protection System (APS) for next-generation armored vehicles.
- The NEMUS radar detects threats across a speed range from 10 m/s (drones) to over 2,000 m/s (kinetic-energy projectiles) on a single hardware platform.
- StrikeShield APS automatically calculates fire control solutions and activates countermeasures to maximize platform and crew survivability.
- The modular, multi-mission design of NEMUS enables deployment across C-UAS, SHORAD, ISTAR, and APS applications, reducing integration costs.
- The Indra–Rheinmetall partnership is expected to be a featured announcement at the Eurosatory 2026 defense exhibition.
Indra NEMUS Radar Integrated into Rheinmetall StrikeShield APS to Enhance Armored Vehicle Protection
Indra Group has announced a cooperation agreement with Rheinmetall to integrate its NEMUS AESA radar into the modular architecture of the StrikeShield Active Protection System (APS), further strengthening protection capabilities for next-generation armored vehicles. The development is expected to be a highlight at the Eurosatory 2026 defense exhibition.
NEMUS Radar: Simultaneous Coverage of Low- and High-Speed Threats
According to Indra, the NEMUS radar is capable of detecting drones flying at speeds as low as 10 m/s, while simultaneously tracking high-speed threats exceeding 2,000 m/s — including kinetic-energy projectiles.
"This unique capability allows a single system to address a broad range of mission types," Indra stated. "It can be integrated into counter-UAS (C-UAS) systems, short-range air defense (SHORAD) systems, intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISTAR) solutions, as well as active protection system (APS) applications for armored vehicles and main battle tanks."
StrikeShield APS: Intelligent Fire Control and Countermeasures
Rheinmetall's StrikeShield APS handles fire control calculations and automatically selects and activates the most effective countermeasures to maximize platform and crew survivability. The integration of the NEMUS radar will provide the system with more precise and comprehensive threat awareness.
Multi-Mission Modular Design as Key Advantage
The centerpiece of the partnership is the NEMUS radar's modular, multi-mission design, which allows a single hardware platform to span C-UAS, SHORAD, ISTAR, and APS applications. This approach is expected to reduce integration costs and improve deployment flexibility across a wide range of operational scenarios.
