Selex awarded NATO air defence radar work
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.
