Slovak MoD plans to procure 3D radars
The Slovak Ministry of Defence (MoD) has approved plans to procure new 3D radars through government-to-government sales, the MoD announced on 11 July.
Between the years 2018 and 2025, the MoD plans to procure a total of 17 3D radars – six 3D medium-range radars, five 3D short-range radars and six 3D very short-range radars for an estimated framework price of $181.1 million.
Peter Gajdoš, Slovak Minister of Defence, said: ‘We will purchase a total of 17 pieces of 3D radars just as requested and defined by the Slovak armed forces. In this regard, we will invite all governments to enter into negotiations with us so that we can find the most advantageous solution and submit it to the cabinet for approval no later than the end of June 2019.’
The new radars will help protect Slovak airspace on a 24/7 basis.
