ALCOBENDAS, Spain. Indra has signed an agreement with Spanish startup IDBOTIC to enhance the NGWS/FCAS program, Europe's largest defense initiative aimed at developing the Future Combat Air Systems (FCAS), the company announced in a statement.

IDBOTIC, founded in 2019, specializes in hardware encryption and authentication of Internet of Things (IoT) communications. The company will work with Indra to develop technologies that provide a non-clonable identity for sensors and systems in the NGWS/FCAS program, the company says.

The collaboration will focus on three projects: ensuring hardware security, distributing private keys quickly, and integrating encryption and decryption processes resistant to post-quantum attacks, which aim to secure the communications within the combat cloud of the NGWS/FCAS, the statement reads.
