SCEPTER project will be led by INDRA

The SCEPTER consortium brings together 14 European partners to develop next-generation multifunction radiofrequency systems under the European Defence Fund (EDF) 2024 call “Advanced radar technologies.” The project will run for 48 months and focuses on integrating radar, electronic warfare and communication functions within a shared system architecture, with Indra Group acting as the project coordinator.



SCEPTER aims to design a future European multifunction RF system integrating radar, electronic warfare and communication functions within a shared Active Electronically Scanned Array architecture. By combining multiple functions within a single system, the project will enhance situational awareness, reduce electromagnetic interference and improve operational effectiveness across air, land and maritime domains.


The project is implemented by a consortium of 14 partners from across Europe, bringing together leading defence industries, research organisations and specialised SMEs with strong expertise in radar, RF technologies and electronic warfare systems.


As coordinator, Indra Group confirms its strong position within the European Defence Fund ecosystem, having been selected to participate in 12 major EDF projects addressing the development of critical defence technologies. The company plays a leading role in advancing multi-domain capabilities, including radar, electronic warfare, communication and command and control systems, and has extensive experience coordinating collaborative European defence programmes. Indra’s continued leadership in initiatives such as SCEPTER reinforces its contribution to strengthening technological capabilities, interoperability and strategic autonomy of European armed forces.


SCEPTER builds on the results of previous European initiatives, in particular extending the work developed in the CROWN PADR project. The project will leverage and advance CROWN results to further develop European next-generation multifunction radiofrequency systems based on Active Electronically Scanned Array technology, while expanding capabilities in areas such as passive radar sensors and cognitive sensing technologies through the strengthened consortium.
