Indra Sistemas is developing an AI-based maintenance solution for Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft operated by the Spanish Air Force, under an R&D contract from the Spanish defence procurement agency DGAM.
The MP C16 preventive maintenance solution will analyse massive volumes of Typhoon systems data to enhance operational availability by detecting failures in critical avionics systems ‘before they occur’, Indra claimed in a 13 January announcement, adding that deployment of the AI solution ‘will represent a new, previously unexplored milestone in aircraft maintenance in Spain’.
In particular, the use of AI aligns with the development of the Sustainable and Intelligent Connected Air Base programme from the Spanish Air Force.
Predictive maintenance for Spanish Eurofighters will allow early detection of potential critical systems failures before each mission. ‘This intelligent maintenance system not only improves safety, but is also cost-saving, extends each platform’s service life and ensures maximum fleet availability,’ Indra claimed.

An evolution of the Tekever AR3, the AR3 EVO that broke cover at DSEI incorporates the thousands of incremental evolutions the company has implemented through its spiral development, geared towards delivering a constant stream of improved aircraft to Ukraine.
The new capabilities are based on platforms already in use or in development, and are designed to perform in demanding defence missions.
In an era of rapidly evolving threats, where drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic salvos redefine the battlefield, IAI‑ELTA Group stands at the forefront with its revolutionary radar technology. At the heart of this technological leap lies the ELM-2084 Multi‑Mission Radar (MMR) and its latest evolution, the Multi‑Sensor MMR (MS-MMR).
The consortium, known as G2E, is formed of four leading national defence electronics companies: Mitsubishi for Japan, Leonardo UK for the UK and both Leonardo and ELT Group for Italy.
The uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) will start off in the electronic warfare space, according to the companies, to support existing crewed frontline platforms, with many major details still to be disclosed.
The British-built long-range strike one-way effector (OWE) is the latest offering from the company, which demonstrated its smaller OWE SkyShark in July.
