Insights
The partnership between Keysight and Indra represents a significant advancement in electronic warfare (EW) testing capabilities. The EWASP platform's 54 GHz frequency range and 2.5 GHz modulation bandwidth provide industry-leading RF performance metrics that enable highly sophisticated threat simulations. The open architecture design is particularly valuable, allowing for seamless integration of both legacy and future threat databases - a critical feature in the rapidly evolving EW landscape.
The platform's multi-port analysis capabilities and automated RF verification represent a substantial technological leap, enabling real-time monitoring across multiple channels simultaneously. This comprehensive testing approach, combined with hardware-in-the-loop testing capabilities, significantly reduces the risk of late-stage technical issues that could impact program costs and schedules. The system's scalability and configurability ensure long-term value and adaptability to emerging threats.
This deal strengthens Keysight's position in the growing defense and aerospace market, particularly in Europe where Indra is expanding its presence. The selection of Keysight's EWASP by a major player like Indra validates the company's R&D investments in advanced defense solutions and could lead to additional contracts in the sector. The timing aligns with increasing global defense spending and modernization initiatives.
The partnership's focus on automated testing and verification processes should improve operational efficiency and reduce time-to-market for new EW systems. This could translate into improved profit margins and competitive advantages for both companies. For Keysight investors, this represents positive momentum in the high-margin defense sector and demonstrates the company's ability to secure strategic partnerships with leading defense contractors.
Keysight’s EWASP meets Indra's needs with an open architecture and scalable framework that seamlessly integrates with legacy threat databases while accommodating future threat advancements across multifaceted testing programs. Indra leverages Keysight's EWASP solutions to enhance its testing, enabling more precise and comprehensive EW threat simulations.

David Sáez, System and Solutions Executive Expert, Defense, and Electronic Surveillance, Indra, said: "As part of Indra’s ‘Leading the Future’ plan, we are focused on becoming a European leader in defense and aerospace by expanding leadership, alliances, and collaborations. In line with the defense market transformation plan, we will also enhance validation and verification processes to improve product quality, particularly for final system validation in operational and relevant environments before delivery. As a critical part of our testing methodology, we must evaluate our electronic warfare (EW) systems against highly demanding, dynamic scenarios with dense electromagnetic environments. The system we use for this purpose must be flexible and scalable, accommodating varying numbers of apertures or antennas per sensor and different technologies to generate the angle of arrival (AoA). Keysight EWASP meets our EW sensors' current and future needs across multiple domains, enabling automated and reusable verification between simulated dynamic scenarios and threat databases, as well as the results obtained from our EW systems. Conducting the most realistic hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) testing before final platform deployment is crucial for improving test quality and avoiding program risks, such as technical issues discovered too late, which could negatively affect schedule and cost."
Chris Johnston, Director, Keysight’s Radar and EW Solutions, said: “Keysight’s collaboration with Indra reflects our shared goal of advancing EW capabilities as the organization continues to expand its global presence, influencing EW test and evaluation for both current and future EW programs. Our commitment to innovation and excellence reinforces our leadership role in advanced defense solutions. By providing state-of-the-art EWASP solutions, we empower organizations like Indra to maintain operational superiority and adaptability in an ever-evolving threat landscape, ensuring the highest levels of security and performance.”
