Slovakia halves the field for new 3D radars
Ten original proposals have been narrowed down to five
The Slovak MoD has down-selected five government-to-government proposals to meet its requirement for 17 new 3D air defence radars.
A project team from the MoD selected offers from France, Hungary, Israel, the UK and the US for further negotiations, rejecting proposals from Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Turkey.
Slovakia requires six medium-range , five short-range and six very short-range radars to ensure airspace surveillance coverage within the NATO Integrated Air and Missile Defense System.
The government envisages a role for the Slovak defence industry in the programme, for which it has allocated a budget of €155 million ($181.8 million).
