Indra Snaps Up Synthetic Aperture Radar Specialist Dares Technology

Indra acquired all shares of Dares Technology, a Barcelona company specializing in compact synthetic-aperture radar payloads and radar-processing software. Founded in 2015 through the European Space Agency’s business-incubation programme, Dares employs 27 specialists and develops sensors suited to small airborne platforms. Indra plans to integrate and adapt the technology for its Tarsis family of unmanned aircraft, including systems below 150 kg. The purchase adds an in-house all-weather imaging capability, although the acquisition price, revenue contribution, and future delivery timeline for integrated products were not disclosed.
