Tata Advanced Systems becomes the first Indian company to demonstrate the capability to build and integrate next-generation naval surveillance radar systems, marking a key milestone in India’s pursuit of defence self-reliance.
This achievement also marks a key milestone in India’s pursuit of defence self-reliance, with significant localisation in system integration and assembly.
The radar has been seamlessly integrated with all systems of this Indian Navy warship, the company said in a release.
Its acceptance and induction followed rigorous sea trials, during which various naval and aerial platforms were deployed to test performance across a range of radar cross-sections.
To support ongoing production, a radar assembly, integration and testing facility has already been established at Tata Advanced Systems’ facility in Karnataka, which will accelerate deliveries.
Sukaran Singh, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director, 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.”
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.”
