The companies will provide one system to the RNAF for advanced air traffic control and wind-farm interference mitigation at De Kooy airfield.

Three systems will be delivered to German air navigation service provider Deutsche Flugsicherung to replace ageing radars as part of the country’s airspace modernisation efforts.

Raytheon intelligence, information and services vice-president Matt Gilligan said: “Our goal is to make the global airspace safer by creating the world’s most advanced air traffic control system.

“Earlier this month, Raytheon and Hensoldt agreed to form a partnership to develop and market new air traffic control radars.”

“Hensoldt’s primary radar provides almost four times the volume coverage when compared to others, and that’s something our customers want.”
