Its successful commissioning marks the beginning of multiple installations across the Indian Navy’s frigates, destroyers, and aircraft carriers. The project underscores strong Indo-Spanish collaboration in developing state-of-the-art naval air surveillance capabilities.
3D ASR Lanza-N: Sea Trials and Integration
Before induction, the radar underwent extensive sea trials to validate its performance against diverse naval and aerial platforms with varying radar cross-sections. The system has now been fully integrated with all onboard platforms of the Indian Navy warship.
Production and Localisation in India
To enable faster deliveries, Tata Advanced Systems has established a radar assembly, integration, and testing facility in Karnataka. This initiative reinforces India’s focus on defence self-reliance by localising manufacturing, assembly, and system integration.
