레이다 인도, 인드라제 Lanza-N 레이더 도입

[위종민]

인도가 스페인 인드라사의 Lanza-N 3차원 대공탐색 레이더를 도입해 엘타 ELM-2248 MF-STAR와 RAWL-02/LW-08 장거리 대공탐색레이더를 교체하네요. 도입수량은 23기이고, 콜카타급 구축함과 비사카파트남급 구축함에 설치된 레이더를 교체할 예정이고, 향후 도입될 닐기리급 프리깃과 프로젝트18 차세대 구축함에도 설치될 수 있다고 합니다. 

콜카타급과 비사카파트남급에는 LW-08과 MF-STAR가 모두 설치돼 있는데, 이 두 레이더를 Lanza-N으로 통합할 모양이네요. Lanza-N은 현재 후안 카를로스 1세급 상륙함에 설치돼 있으며, 탐색거리는 254해리라고 합니다.

The Spanish-produced radar will augment Indian destroyers, and could be integrated into its Maritime Capability Perspective Plan.

Indra has installed the first of the 23 Lanza-N radars that will equip Indian Navy ships over the next decade.

The Madrid-based tech company are the original equipment manufacturer of the 3D radar system. The Lanza radars will replace the ELM-2248 MF-STAR and RAWL-02/LW-08 radars on India’s destoryers: Kolkata-class and Visakhapatnam-class, according to GlobalData Defence analyst Tushar Mangure.

Indra and the Hyderabadi defence company, TATA Advanced Systems, signed a deal in 2020 as part of a technology transfer programme.

Indra has adapted the Lanza-N radar – based on the one installed in the Spanish ship Juan Carlos I – to the regulatory requirements of India. The modifications suit Indian Ocean conditions, guaranteeing optimum performance in high humidity and extreme heat conditions.

The Lanza family are multi-scenario, multi-threat adaptive radars. The radar design operates according to Nato’s technical requirements and it anticipates the changing threat scenario of the future.

The Lanza-N integrates a 3D primary surveillance radar that provides medium and long range coverage up to 254 nautical miles. The radar detects aircrafts, even under adverse conditions, including clutter. Target co-ordinates provided by the surveillance radar include target altitude (3D position).

India’s plans for Lanza-N

GlobalData intelligence tells us that the Indian Navy plans to integrate the radar more widely.

“The Lanza-N radar system may also be deployed onboard the Nilgiri-class frigates, which are already in advanced stages of construction.

“There is a strong possibility that these radars will also be installed on the Navy’s future Project-18 Next-Generation Destroyer. Moreover, the acquisition of the new radar is also in line with the navy’s Maritime Capability Perspective Plan (MCPP), which places a priority on expanding the capabilities of naval platforms in addition to increasing fleet size numerically,” Mangure adds.

Currently, the Indian Ministry of Defence claims its present force level comprises 150 ships and submarines. India’s perspective-planning moves from the number of platforms to one that concentrates upon its capabilities.

This is a common naval strategy in the current security climate. Navies are producing less costly vessels more quickly – such as the Indian navy’s Niligiri-class frigates, the US Navy’s littoral combat ships, or the increased operations of the UK Royal Navy’s patrol vessels HMS Spey and HMS Tamar in the Indo-Pacific.

Lanza-N 레이더는 1면 회전식 볼륨서치 레이더처럼 보이는데 4면 고정식 EL/M-2248을 대체하네요...

제생각에는 기사가 잘못 나갔을 가능성이 높아보이네요 2248이 낙후된것도 아니고 둘다 대체할수는 없을텐데요

인드라사에 올라온 뉴스엔 구체적으로 저 두 레이더를 대체한다는 내용은 없긴 합니다. 뉴스가 잘못 나갔을 가능성도 있을 듯 한데 몇 년 뒤에 확인 가능하겠네요.
