SSI will also provide the air force with two RAT31-DL/M (deployable air defence radar-DADR) mobile radar systems.

FADR is the carrying structure of the programme with which AMI has started replacing its aerial surveillance systems.

Replacing the systems will ensure the availability of the frequencies necessary for the introduction of the new worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WI-MAX) technology for high-speed wireless internet access in Italy.
