Indra to deploy radar surveillance systems in China
Indra has been awarded new contracts for the deployment of five of its radar surveillance systems in China, the company said on 10 March.
The systems will reinforce control of Shanghai air space and provide surveillance services to the East China Region.
Indra will also deploy a surveillance system in the middle south China region and another in Yinchuan. Additionally, it will expand the en-route air control centre in Xian. The value of these contracts is around $11 million.
Indra already has 30 secondary radars that control around 60% of the Chinese sky. The East China Air Traffic Management Bureau (ATMB) has now selected Indra to implement five more secondary Mode S radars.
Middle South ATMB has also contracted Indra to deploy a Mode S radar in the South China Sea, and the Northwest ATMB has ordered another system in Yinchuan. Indra's Beijing subsidiary will put the radars into operation and provide the technical support for their maintenance.
