Senegal orders Thales radars
Senegal has ordered Ground Master 400 long-range radars and a SkyView command and control centre from Thales for airspace surveillance and security, the company announced on 19 April.
The Ground Master 400 is a fully solid-state three-dimensional surveillance radar designed to detect all types of air threats.
Senegal's Ground Master 400 systems will be connected to the SkyView command and control centre at the Ouakam air base in Dakar. This fully automated system enables operators to establish the air situation autonomously and report to the national authorities in real-time to contribute to national security.
The Senegalese armed forces will receive the new systems in 2019.
