Satellite Communication in U|212 Submarines

Indra has been selected to equip two U-212 submarines belonging to the German Navy with its satellite communication systems, which increases the submarine current capacity of transmission by a factor of ten.

Indra has also equipped two F122 German frigates with similar systems.

The system is an upgraded version of the systems currently onboard the Spanish S-70 submarines, the only ones within NATO capable of transmitting in X-band, which makes them the best-fitted submarines to establish communications with the command center. Indra will implement this new version in the future S-80 submarines that Navantia is developing for Spain.

The Bremen and Ausburg F-122 frigates will be equipped with Indra’s satellite communication system with high voice and data transmission capacity, in the same military frequency band.
