# Indra Expands Olathe Aviation Manufacturing

Indra Group USA’s 118,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Olathe, Kansas, is fully operational following a reported **$50 million** company investment. During a visit by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Senator Roger Marshall, the company highlighted production of aviation and defense systems for Federal Aviation Administration and U.S. Air Force programs, including radars, radios, navigation aids, and airspace systems. The announcement signals added domestic manufacturing capacity, but does not identify a new contract award or solicitation.

- Indra’s expanded facility may be relevant to FAA and Air Force procurement for aviation and defense systems; the signal does not specify contract values, solicitations, or procurement contacts.
- Contractors and suppliers can assess whether their capabilities complement Indra’s production of radars, radios, navigation aids, and airspace systems, and follow FAA and defense program opportunities as the signal recommends.
- Procurement teams should distinguish the facility investment and production-capacity news from a contract award: no new procurement action is announced.
