Terma announces Asian Scanter radar order
Terma will deliver 114 Scanter 2202 and 2001 radar systems to an unnamed customer in Asia under a new contract announced on 6 November.
The Scanter radars will be used for coastal surveillance across 57 sites, and will replace the customer’s existing radar systems.
In total, Terma will deliver 57 Scanter 2202 radar systems including 18ft antennas, and 57 Scanter 2001i with 18ft antennas. At each of the 57 sites, two radar systems will be installed.
The Scanter 2200 series radar is an X-band, 2D, fully coherent pulse compression radar, based on Solid State transmitter technology with digital software-defined functionality.
The Scanter 2001i 2D radar sensor system is characterised by high resolution, wide receiver dynamic range, noise reduction facilities, built-in test equipment, and the ability to perform remote servicing activities.
Jesper Tolstrup, vice president, Terma Asia Pacific Singapore, said: ‘The Scanter 2200 is the newest of Terma’s renowned surveillance radars developed for coastal surveillance and [Vessel Traffic Services] purposes. It works perfectly along with the well proven Scanter 2001i which is currently in use with customers all over the globe. This contract is a great opportunity for Terma to introduce the effective and competitive Scanter 2200 radar to the world market.’
Deliveries will commence in the second half of 2015 and continue through 2016.
