Tata Advanced Systems, in collaboration with Spain's Indra, has commissioned the Indian Navy's first indigenous 3D air surveillance radar 'Lanza-N'. The radar has been installed on a warship and is capable of tracking drones, jets, and missiles. Tata's facility in Karnataka will also manufacture these radars.
Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL), together with Spanish defense company Indra, has commissioned the first 3D Air Surveillance Radar (3D-ASR) Lanza-N for the Indian Navy. The radar has been deployed on a naval warship, marking a major step towards India's defense self-reliance.
What Is Lanza-N Radar?
Lanza-N is the naval version of Indra's Lanza 3D radar, considered one of the world's most advanced long-range air defense and anti-missile radars. It can track both aerial and surface targets in 3D. The radar has a range of 254 nautical miles (around 470 km) and can detect drones, supersonic fighter jets, anti-radiation missiles, as well as naval platforms.
Indra's Lanza-N is one of the most advanced long-range, three-dimensional tactical surveillance systems capable of detecting friendly and hostile air and surface targets within a particular coverage space.
Tata Advanced Systems Collaborates With Indian Navy
The TASL said that with the production of the 3D Air Surveillance Radar (3D-ASR), it has become the first Indian company to demonstrate the capability to build and integrate next-generation naval surveillance radar systems.
Tata Advanced Systems Limited, in collaboration with Indra, successfully delivered and commissioned the first 3D-ASR -- Lanza-N, aboard an Indian Navy warship, the company said in a statement.
"This achievement also marks a key milestone in India's pursuit of defence self-reliance, with significant localisation in system integration and assembly," it said.
It said the radar has been seamlessly integrated with all systems of this Indian Navy warship.
