LANZA radar family

Also known as
  • LANZA 3D radar family
  • Indra LANZA
  • LANZA LRR
  • LANZA 3D-LRR
  • LANZA LTR-25
  • LANZA LTR-20
  • LANZA 3D PSR
  • LANZA PSR3D
  • LANZA N

The LANZA radar family is Indra's Spanish L-band 3D air-surveillance and air-defense radar line, built around modular solid-state hardware and software-configurable operating modes. The family spans fixed long-range LRR sites, deployable LTR-25 radars, medium-range LTR-20 coverage, dual-use 3D PSR air-traffic-control radars, and LANZA N naval installations, with public Indra material tying newer LANZA radars to Spain's NATINAMDS-linked air-surveillance network and NATO deployable radar coverage.

Family Architecture

LANZA is best read as a modular sensor family rather than a single fixed radar. Indra's 2019 family sheet describes shared solid-state L-band radar architecture, pencil-beam operation with electronic elevation control, distributed and redundant critical elements, and software-configurable exploration modes that let each configuration be adapted for different operators and sites.

Common architecture

3D solid-state L-band radars using modular hardware and software packages across fixed, tactical, ATC, and naval variants.

Air-defense role

Indra ties LANZA radars to early warning, air-sovereignty surveillance, NATINAMDS-linked Spanish coverage, and NATO deployable radar coverage.

Conflict-use boundary

Direct public Ukraine sourcing identifies the LTR-25 model rather than every LANZA configuration, so this family page links the published LTR-25 record instead of broadening family-level conflict claims.

Variants

Indra public material presents LANZA as a family rather than a single radar model, with variants for fixed long-range surveillance, deployable long-range coverage, medium-range mobile coverage, civil-military air-traffic control, and naval air warfare.

LANZA LTR-20Mobile medium-range radar

Indra's family brochure lists LTR-20 as a medium-range tactical radar with selectable 200, 120, or 60 nautical mile instrumented range configurations for air-defense and gap-filler coverage.

LANZA 3D PSRDual-use civil and military air-traffic-control radar

Indra's family brochure identifies the 3D PSR branch as an en-route and approach ATC radar with 150 or 100 nautical mile instrumented range configurations.

LANZA NNaval air-warfare radar

Indra's LANZA family brochure identifies LANZA N as the naval air-warfare configuration, with 180, 120, or 60 nautical mile instrumented range configurations; Indra and Tata later described Lanza-N commissioning aboard an Indian Navy warship.
