Spain's Indra Group Opens 1,000-Square-Meter Aviation Technical Support Center in Oman
en.Wedoany.com Reported - On November 11, Spain's Indra Group inaugurated an advanced technical support center at Knowledge Oasis Muscat in Oman's capital, Muscat. The facility covers more than 1,000 square meters and is primarily responsible for testing, repair, upgrading, and technical support of air defense systems, border surveillance systems, and air traffic management systems. The center serves both the civil aviation and defense sectors and plans to undertake related technical service business for other countries in the Middle East.
The new center is equipped with diagnostic, testing, and repair tools for electronic and electromechanical equipment, as well as spare parts management and distribution facilities, enabling fault detection of critical equipment, component repair, replacement, and system maintenance. Indra will recruit Omani engineers and technicians locally and cooperate with Omani universities and professional institutions on training programs. The related services cover the long-term operational phase after equipment delivery, including periodic maintenance, system upgrades, and technical personnel training.
The center also houses an Air Traffic Management Center of Excellence, equipped with the ManagAir air traffic automation system, the Garex voice communication system, and digital tower technology. Among these, ManagAir is used for air traffic operations management and automated processing, Garex handles air traffic control voice communications, and the digital tower system is used for airport operations surveillance and control support. This area is primarily used for technology demonstrations, system testing, customer training, and research and development of future air traffic management solutions, while also providing technical support for Oman's existing airspace management systems.
The artificial intelligence business is part of a subsequent construction plan. Indra plans to jointly build an artificial intelligence center with the Royal Air Force of Oman under local development partnership programs, training Omani engineers based on its proprietary IndraMind platform. The cooperation includes establishing a dedicated master's degree program, arranging for platform technical experts to participate in training, and jointly developing the first practical application case of IndraMind in Oman.
