Digital reception technology will enable the application of advanced processing techniques for pulses emitted and received by the radars, making it possible to eliminate noise and enhance the accuracy with which an aircraft is detected.

In addition, Indra will install automatic dependent surveillance – broadcast (ADS-B) receivers in Mode S radars to reinforce their operational capabilities.
