The Indian Navy has commissioned its first 3D Air Surveillance Radar (3D-ASR) Lanza-N, the naval version of Indra’s Lanza 3D system, following joint work between Spain’s Indra and India’s Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL).
The radar was installed aboard an Indian Navy warship and has been fully integrated with the vessel’s systems. Its acceptance followed sea trials in which naval and aerial platforms were deployed to test detection performance across a range of radar cross-sections.
Additional Lanza-N systems are scheduled for installation on Indian Navy frigates, destroyers and aircraft carriers. To support production, TASL has set up an assembly, integration and testing facility at its site in Karnataka, aimed at ensuring faster deliveries.
Ana Buendía, Head of Indra’s Naval Business Unit, said:
“This project goes far beyond the delivery and deployment of radars for a large number of vessels. It has also enabled us to establish a significant collaboration with Tata Advanced Systems, with whom we have worked to establish a radar factory in Bengaluru. This now provides us with local support to produce systems more efficiently and offer closer service to the client.”
Sukaran Singh, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Tata Advanced Systems, said:
“Our collaboration with Indra reflects a shared commitment to strengthening radar manufacturing capabilities in India. By leveraging on-ground synergies, technical expertise, and a robust local supply chain, we are building a strong ecosystem for advanced defence technologies.”
The radar is part of ongoing cooperation between India and Spain in the defense sector, focusing on advanced surveillance and naval capabilities.
