Terma bags order for coastal surveillance radars

Terma has received a contract from an undisclosed Asian customer for the delivery of 114 radar systems for coastal surveillance purposes.

Under the contract, the company will deliver 57 Scanter 2202 radar systems together with 18ft antennas and 57 Scanter 2001i with 18ft antennas.

Aimed at replacing the customer’s existing radar systems, about two radar systems will be installed at each of the 57 sites.

Terma Asia Pacific vice-president Jesper Tolstrup said: "The Scanter 2200 is the newest of Terma’s renowned surveillance radars developed for coastal surveillance and VTS purposes.

"It works perfectly along with the well proven Scanter 2001i which is currently in use with customers all over the globe.

"This contract is a great opportunity for Terma to introduce the effective and competitive Scanter 2200 radar to the world market."

The delivery is set to begin during the second half of 2015 and would continue through 2016.

The X-band, 2D, fully coherent pulse compression Scanter 2200 series radar is based on Solid State transmitter technology with digital software-defined functionality.

Further, the system is derived from the known Scanter 2001 radar, the solid state Scanter 5000 series radar, and the ground surveillance radar, Scanter 1002.

The Scanter 2001i 2D radar sensor system is claimed to offer high resolution, wide receiver dynamic range, noise reduction facilities, integrated test equipment, and the capability to execute remote servicing activities.
