Tata Advanced Systems successfully installed the first Lanza-N 3D Air Surveillance Radar, a naval variant of Indra’s radar, on an Indian warship. This milestone was part of a $145-million agreement signed in 2020. Over the next decade, Tata will locally assemble and integrate 19 additional radars for the Indian Navy. The Lanza-N radar system is designed for advanced long-range air defence and anti-missile operations, making it highly suitable for the demanding conditions of the Indian Ocean. This initiative highlights Tata’s growing role in strengthening India’s indigenous defence manufacturing capabilities and enhancing naval preparedness.
