Indra To Deploy Radar Surveillance Systems In China

Indra has won $11 million contract to deploy its radar surveillance systems in China.

The company will implement 5 systems to reinforce control of the Shanghai air space, providing surveillance services to the East China Region, the company said in its press release on Tuesday. 

This contract is in addition to the one granted Indra by Middle South ATMB for the deployment of Secondary Mode S radar in the South China Sea, as well as that granted by Northwest ATMB for implementing another system in Yinchuan. 

Similarly, the company will also deploy one surveillance systems in the middle south region and another in Yinchuan and will expand the en-route control center in Xian.

Indra already has 30 Secondary Radars in operation in this country deployed during the last 8 years, which currently control approximately 60% of the Chinese sky. 

Now, East China Air Traffic Management Bureau (ATMB), one of the seven regions into which the ATMB of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) is divided, has entrusted Indra the implementation of another five secondary Mode S radars, the most advanced aircraft identification technology. These systems will reinforce control of the East China sky, improving traffic flow that flies in this region.
