Indra’s latest-generation Lanza 3D radar to protect Thailand’s main naval base
The company secures its first radar contract with the Royal Thai Navy, adding to those already awarded by the Royal Thai Air Force
It leads the modernization of the country’s surveillance systems with cutting-edge technology designed to address new threats such as small drones
The company maintains a strong position in the Asian defence market, where it has been operating for several decades and has earned the recognition and trust of key countries
Indra will deploy a Lanza 3D radar at the Sattahip naval base, the country’s main
naval facility and the gateway to the Bay of Bangkok. With this contract, the company strengthens its position
as a leader in the modernization of Thailand’s surveillance systems.
The Lanza 3D radar will enable monitoring of all airspace and surrounding waters of this strategic site,
providing high integrated detection capability and the ability to identify new threats such as small drones.
The system is complemented by several command and control stations, also supplied by Indra, which provide
great operational flexibility and will facilitate task distribution and prioritization in order to ensure effective
protection of adjacent coastal areas and airspace.
The company won this major contract in competition with some of the leading international companies in the
sector. The system incorporates AESA technology, the capability to detect targets with a low radar crosssection, and is specifically designed to operate in high-humidity environments, as it works in the L-band, which
is particularly suitable and robust for such conditions. Indra’s ability to tailor the solution to the customer’s
specific requirements was another key differentiating factor of the proposal.
This contract is the first secured by Indra with the Royal Thai Navy and adds to the long-range Lanza 3D radars
awarded by the country’s Air Force. In this way, Indra consolidates its position as the company leading the
renewal of Thailand’s surveillance systems, ahead of other industry players.
This position is the result of decades of work in the Asian region, where Indra has offices and operational
centres in several countries, enabling it to earn the trust and recognition of key nations such as India, the
Philippines, Vietnam and Malaysia, among others.
