Indonesia orders Ground Master 400 Alpha radars from Thales

The contract value and duration have not been disclosed, but each radar is worth several tens of millions of dollars.

The Ground Master 400 Alpha radar, with a range of 515 kilometers, incorporates artificial intelligence to manage large data sets.

The purchase reflects Indonesia’s focus on monitoring its surrounding airspace, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region due to growing tensions and China’s assertiveness.

Thales will handle radar construction and information processing systems, while PT Len will be responsible for station construction and radar components.

Thales has experienced significant growth in the radar market and has expanded its production capabilities globally to meet increasing demand and promote technology transfers.
