Indra will install its advanced radar 3D Launch at the naval base of Sattahip, TailandiaThe project aims to secure access to the bay of Bangkok against air and sea threats, consolidating its technological leadership in the Asian defense market.
Strategic surveillance in Bangkok Bay
The naval base of Sattahip It represents a vital enclave for Thai national security, being the main gateway to the bay of BangkokWith the awarding of this contract, Indra will provide a comprehensive surveillance solution that allows monitoring of both the airspace and the surrounding waters with a high integrated detection capability.
The system not only includes the main sensor, but is complemented by several command and control stationsThese units, also developed by the technology company, will equip the Real Marina de Tailandia with superior operational flexibility, facilitating the distribution of tasks and the prioritization of actions to ensure the effective protection of the coasts and the adjacent airspace.
AESA technology against new threats
The technical proposal of Indra It has outperformed the leading international companies in the sector thanks to its adaptability and robustness. The radar 3D Launch incorporates technology TO THAT (Active Electronically Scanned Array), designed to detect targets with a reduced radar cross-section, a critical feature for identification small drones and other asymmetric threats.
Due to the region's climatic conditions, the system operates in L-banda frequency particularly suitable for operating in environments with high humidityThe specifications and scope of the project are detailed below:
| Concept | Contract Details |
|---|---|
| Strategic location | Naval base of Sattahip (Tailandia) |
| Main technology | Radar 3D Launch with technology TO THAT |
| Operating band | L-band (Optimized for high humidity) |
| Threats detected | Small aircraft, boats and drones |
| Complementary systems | Command and control stations for operational management |
Consolidation in the Asian defense market
This milestone represents the first contract of Indra with the Real Marina de Tailandia, adding to the previous successes achieved with the Real Fuerza Aérea of the country, which already operates long-range radars of the same type. This positions the Spanish firm as the preferred partner in the renewal of surveillance systems of the Asian country.
The company's presence in the region is the result of decades of operations and a strong network of local offices. This strategic positioning has allowed it to Indra Gaining the trust of key organizations in markets such as:
- India
- Filipinas
- Vietnam
- Malasia
