FEINDEF is the setting that has been chosen by Indra to showcase one of the most advanced systems it’s been working on in recent months to meet the needs of the Armed Forces in the complex defence scenarios and operations that are emerging. It’s known as VALERO and it’s a weapon system based on a new multi-purpose air vehicle designed to fly in different modes and carry various kinds of payloads, depending on the mission to be fulfilled, with capabilities that can prove vital in multi-domain confrontations.

In addition to the light Multi-Purpose Air Vehicle (MAV), the VALERO weapon system is complemented by a configurable surface launcher, a planning and control ground segment, and the associated support equipment.

Due to its modular nature, the MAV can be configured with different payloads to determine the role of the weapon system, based on the operational scenario and mission. It’s designed to be mission expendable or, optionally, recoverable, and it can be launched from different air and surface platforms.

The result of a project initiated in 2023, VALERO is a fully domestic product that meets the current needs of the Armed Forces and promotes the strategic autonomy of Spain and Europe in a key area for the future.

Following the definition of the operational concept, the definition of the architectures and the systems engineering of the system, Indra is working on the solution’s design and demonstrators.
