At FEINDEF defense exhibition, Indra presented its next-generation Maestre mission system, designed to serve as the mission backbone of modern armored vehicles.. Speaking to defensehere.com, Operational Advisor Miguel Angel de Diez Jimenez explained how Maestre integrates all key subsystems battlefield management, vehicle diagnostics, weapons control, and situational awareness into a single, user-friendly interface.

The system is currently operational on Spain’s new 8x8 Dragon Infantry Fighting Vehicle and supports full compliance with NATO’s NGVA standards. Its modular design enables rapid integration across a range of platforms, from infantry carriers to future amphibious combat vehicles. By merging all critical data streams into one interface, Maestre enhances decision-making and reduces cognitive load during extended combat missions.

Indra’s approach reflects a broader shift toward digitalized, AI-enabled command environments in European land forces. As one of the first systems of its kind in serial production, Maestre sets a new benchmark for mission survivability, operational efficiency, and interoperability across NATO-aligned militaries.

Beyond integration, Maestre incorporates advanced technologies such as 360-degree artificial vision and threat detection using AI, allowing crews and dismounted troops to maintain situational awareness even in closed-hatch conditions. Its architecture not only improves internal coordination but also enables seamless data sharing across multi-domain operations including land, air, and cyber through combat cloud environments.
