Indra to Implement Life Cycle Management System for OCCAR Defence Programmes

The company has signed a framework agreement with this agency to develop a solution that will give service to several European Armed

Forces

The first contract arising from the agreement is the management system for the Tiger helicopter programmeThis agreement has strengthened Indra's position in the international market as a global supplier of logistics systems

Indra has signed a framework agreement with the European agency OCCAR (Organisation for Joint Armament Cooperation) to implement a logistics

information and defence programme life cycle management system.

The first order from this framework agreement, which will last until 2022, is to develop the information management system of the Tiger helicopter

project and the common functions of the solution. The agency will progressively extend the system to incorporate other programmes.

Indra competed with the leading companies in the sector in the international open tender for this framework agreement. This award has strengthened

the company's position as a supplier of IT solutions for logistics management systems in the international market.

The solution is developed for the programmes under OCCARs responsibility. This means that it will give services to all countries involved in them.

The main processes it will cover are technical event management, engineering support, spare part analysis, equipment configuration control and the

maintenance and integration of systems.

This will enable OCCAR to share information with the countries that have participated in the multinational programmes it manages, such as the Tiger

helicopter, in an agile and precise manner.

Accordingly, the armed forces of these countries will obtain maximum performance from the platforms and systems they acquire, achieve maximum

operability and slightly reduce their maintenance costs.

Indra's management system also incorporates a Business Intelligence module that provides reports, indicators and other functions to aid strategic

analysis and decision making. This will rationalise usage of the systems and their maintenance costs.

The solution proposed by Indra is based on a modular and scalable SOA (Service-oriented Architecture) approach with a flexible data model based on

the PLCS (Product Life Cycle Support) standard, with a high integration capacity. The main commercial products used are IBM Maximo Enterprise

Asset Management (EAM) and Oracle Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) for the integration of services.

International Success

Indra's strategy to compete in the international market is based on a commitment to develop its own solutions. This approach and its 20 years of

experience in the development of similar systems have enabled it to win this major project for the OCCAR.

Indra's close collaboration with the Spanish armed forces and law enforcement agencies includes the development, commissioning and operation of

the logistics systems of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Civil Guard. These systems cover everything from material storage and distribution to the

maintenance of equipment, vehicles and supplies.
