Mission Indra is focussed on meteorological and oceanographic (METOC) data that helps the Australia Defence Force with planning and execution of military operations and deployments.

It addresses the following problem statement: how do we improve the processing and synthesis of large amounts of intelligence data to support the planning and apportionment of platforms, taking into account different classification levels of data, systems and allies data systems?

Milestones

In October 2025, the Advanced Strategic Capabilities Accelerator (ASCA) entered into a 24 month contract with a Melbourne based company, valued at $14.2 million (excluding GST), to further develop and demonstrate the capability.

METOC data provides commanders with meteorological data and forecasts within degraded operational scenarios to broaden the decision-making enveloper within operations.

Background

In November 2023, ASCA released an approach to market on AusTender – ASCA Mission Co-design and Delivery, to help co-design and deliver ASCA's first mission.
