Indra will work together with French company Thales and German industry consortium FCMS to design and develop the \u201cconnected and distributed architecture of sensors\u201d to provide situational awareness, and boost platform survivability, the company said in a release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The contract details a one-year period for the team to design the sensor packages as part of the larger program\u2019s Phase 1A concept study, and could be extended for an additional six months. Phase 1A was launched this past February and will last for about 18 months, per program officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While much of the details surrounding the sensors remains to be seen after the design phase is complete, the three organizations involved said the suite will contribute to the FCAS and next-generation weapon system\u2019s situational awareness \u201cand ability to operate without being detected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The advanced sensor suite is one of seven technology \u201cpillars\u201d that encompass the Future Combat Air System program, along with a sixth-generation fighter jet, advanced \u201cremote carrier\u201d drones, a new jet engine, a next-generation weapon system, stealth technology, and an air combat cloud system. \u201cThe sensors pillar consortium looks forward to working together with the other NGWS\/FCAS pillars in order to optimize the design and integration of the sensors within the system and platforms,\u201d the three organizations said in the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The FCAS program is led by Airbus and Dassault Aviation, with Indra leading Spain\u2019s industry participation. Madrid joined the program earlier this year, nearly three years after France and Germany jointly announced plans to build a new fighter jet and other advanced technologies. The teams are currently working in tandem on the Joint Concept Study phase and the Phase 1A demonstrator effort, both expected to culminate around summer 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2020\/11\/06\/us-election-drama-ups-the-ante-for-europes-signature-next-gen-weapon\/\">Initial demonstrators for the fighter aircraft<\/a> and next-generation weapon system are expected by 2026, with the full development program expected to start in 2027. Fielding is slated to begin in the 2040 timeframe, with the fighter aircraft expected to replace France\u2019s Dassault Rafale and Germany and Spain\u2019s Eurofighter Typhoon
