NATO orders two Lanza radars
The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency) has ordered two Lanza LTR-25 3D long-range deployable air defence radars from Indra, the company announced on 10 July.
The contract, valued at around $24.52 million, will run for 38 months. It includes an option for a third radar and other equipment that, if actioned, could bring the contract value up to $40.13 million.
The radars will be used by the NATO Air Command and Control System (ACCS), which is part of the organisation's Integrated Air and Missile Defence System.
The Lanza radars will supplement current static installations in the ACCS. They will be used to strengthen surveillance in special interest areas and provide a greater capability for international missions.
Each Lanza LTR-25 radar has a primary radar integrated with a secondary radar, a power generation and operation shelter. It can be transported in two trucks or a C-130 type aircraft and deployed in non-prepared sites.
The radar is the fifth generation of the Lanza L-band radar range and includes direct radio frequency sampling, digital beam-forming, anti-clutter, signal processing, ballistic missile detection and mono-pulse capabilities.
