cooperation for Leopard 2 E Combat System Indra and
Rheinmetall Electronics have signed an agreement to
propose an upgrade of the Spanish Leopard 2 E Combat
System. Incorporating state-of-the- art technologies that
are compliant with future C4I solutions in combat

and C4I system) for all Spanish Leopard 2 E. With this
recent Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) they
continue their successful cooperation for the production
and service of respective fire control systems and C4I
