The system is part of the air force’s deployable radar approach control (D-RAPCON) programme.
It will provide regional coverage and aircraft separation, similar to a typical civilian airport, on demand through a transportable surveillance radar and air traffic control operations shelter.
Lockheed will provide a version of its field-proven TPS-79 tactical surveillance radar and Federal Aviation Administration-certified air traffic management software for the programme.
ARINC will provide the transportable operations shelter.
