Leonardo-Finmeccanica will supply four new radar systems for air traffic control to China under a contract with the country’s National Instruments Import and Export Corp.
Instrimpex will use the four ATCR-33S NG primary radars during flight departure and landing phases and extended terminal area surveillance, Leonardo said Wednesday.
The radar system is developed based on Leonardo’s ATCR-33S ENH systems to provide transmission power with the use of the Gallium Nitride power transistor technology.
China has more than 60 ATC systems that cover the main routes in the central and eastern regions of the country.
