► Indra Group and ELT Group sign a framework agreement to enhance their strategic cooperation in multi-domain defence

Roma, February 18, 2026. – Indra Group, a global company at the forefront of defence, aerospace, and advanced technologies in Europe, and ELT Group, an international champion in developing and applying innovative and proprietary technologies in the use of the electromagnetic spectrum and cyberspace, have signed a strategic framework agreement designed to enhance their industrial and technological cooperation in multi-domain defence.

The agreement establishes a common framework for developing and fostering a collaboration in three key areas, namely the land and space domains and Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).

The partnership will bring together two strategic players in the European defence ecosystem, thus leveraging their complementary capabilities and aligning their technological visions and operational maturity so as to drive the reinforcing of Europe’s critical capabilities, technological sovereignty and strategic autonomy in the face of the current-day challenges.

On the one hand, Indra Group will contribute its capabilities as a benchmark integrator of next- generation defence programs, and its leadership of multi-domain systems, radar technology, space, electronic warfare, and cyberdefence. On the other, ELT Group will provide its best-in-class expertise in EMSO (Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations) advanced solutions and systems designed to ensure the control, protection and exploitation of the electromagnetic spectrum in military operations, to gain information superiority and operational edges.

Indra Group Executive Chairman Ángel Escribano declared that “this agreement with Elt Group will consolidate Indra’s desire to drive a more sovereign, interoperable, and multi-domain form of European defence. By bringing together our complementary capabilities in radar, space, cybersecurity, and electromagnetic spectrum operations, we’re taking a decisive step towards deploying high-value European solutions to protect our citizens and reinforce the continent’s strategic autonomy in the land, space and unmanned system domains”.

According to José Vicente de los Mozos, Indra Group’s CEO, the agreement “opens instant opportunities to submit integrated and competitive proposals to European programs, combining Indra’s experience and ELT’s expertise in advanced electronic warfare solutions, signals intelligence, spectrum monitoring, and the protection of critical communications in multi-domain environments. Mastering the electromagnetic spectrum is essential, because much of modern military technology currently depends on it. By teaming up with ELT we’ll be able to bolster our joint capabilities, move forward in a coordinated manner within the European framework, expand our portfolio in prioritized areas, and provide sovereign solutions to increase our customers’ resilience and operational superiority”.

Elt Group President and Ceo Enzo Benigni, declared that: “This agreement marks an important step forward in strengthening European industrial cooperation in the Defence sector. Indra Group and ELT have already actively collaborated in consortium programmes like the Eurofighter and share a common vision on the need to develop advanced technologies and integrated capabilities to address emerging multi-domain challenges. By combining our technological excellence, we are confident we can create value for our customers and contribute concretely to Europe’s security”

Domitilla Benigni, CEO and COO of ELT Group stated: “Distinctive capabilities such as those of Elt Group and Indra Group in sigint, EW and management of the electromagnetic spectrum are, at this historical moment, a strategic asset for Europe. The challenges we face, the technological strength outside Europe and Nato blocks push us towards valuable partnerships. This is a pillar of our strategic plan that we are pleased to share with Indra”.

By signing this agreement, Indra Group and ELT Group are taking a decisive step towards the consolidation of their strategic industrial cooperation, fostering a more robust defence ecosystem that’s capable of providing sovereign technological solutions with high added value to guarantee security and stability in an increasingly complex multi-domain global environment.
