Indra and Tata Advanced Systems deliver the first Lanza-N 3D air surveillance radar to the Indian Navy
Indra, one of the leading global defence, air traffic and space companies, in collaboration with Tata Advanced Systems Limited, one of India's leading defence and aerospace companies, has successfully delivered and installed the first 3D-ASR – Lanza-N radar on an Indian Navy warship.
The radar has been integrated with all the ship's systems. Its acceptance and incorporation came after rigorous sea trials, during which various naval and air platforms were deployed to evaluate its performance in detecting targets with different radar cross sections.
To support ongoing production, a radar assembly, integration and testing facility has already been established at Tata Advanced Systems' premises in Karnataka, which will enable faster deliveries.
Ana Buendía, Director of Indra's Naval Business Unit, said: ‘This project goes far beyond the delivery and installation of radars on a large number of ships. It has also enabled us to establish a significant collaboration with Tata Advanced Systems, with whom we have worked to create a radar factory in Bangalore. This now provides us with local support to produce systems more efficiently and offer a service closer to the customer.’
Sukaran Singh, Executive Director and Managing Director of Tata Advanced Systems, commented: ‘Our collaboration with Indra reflects a shared commitment to strengthening radar manufacturing capabilities in India. By leveraging local synergies, technical expertise and a strong domestic supply chain, we are building a robust ecosystem for advanced defence technologies.’
About the Lanza-N
Indra's Lanza-N is one of the most advanced long-range three-dimensional tactical surveillance systems, capable of detecting both friendly and hostile air and surface targets within a given coverage area. The radar is highly effective in detecting various types of drones, supersonic fighters, anti-radiation missiles, as well as all types of naval platforms. This is the first time that a Lanza-N radar will be operational outside Spain.
