Australia looks towards space with force restructure, investment and training
Australia is looking to improve its presence in space with a focus on communications and creating a dedicated segment of its defence forces committed to the domain.
Selex will carry out work to modernise three RAT 31 DL three-dimensional air defence radar systems for NATO under a new €12 million contract with NATO support agency, NSPA, announced on 16 June.
The radars are currently in active service in Turkey as part of NATO’s air defence network. The contract will see Selex align the three radars to the latest NATO standards to ensure continuity with the rest of the network, improve their overall availability, and extend life-cycles.
The RAT 31 DL is part of Selex’s 3D radar systems family. The radar covers an area of around 500km and has electronic countermeasures and anti-radiation missile capabilities. It is available in fixed air defence and deployable air defence configurations. The system’s flexible architecture allows for upgrades to keep the radar in line with customer requirements.
