Melbourne – Leonardo, through the German subsidiary Selex ES GmbH, has signed a series of international contracts for the Meteor radar family for meteorological applications. The offers followed the announcement in March of an important contract in Australia that will see the Company supply and install new radar systems for the S-Band and C-Band in the country. Among the new agreements, the African continent is in the foreground. Selex ES GmbH was chosen to supply and install X-Band meteorological radar systems in airports in Cameroon, the Republic of the Congo, and Madagascar. The systems will be used to detect windshear, convective currents, and turbulence, so as to provide timely information to air traffic controllers. The proprietary solution of Leonardo ShearScout will be integreated in these systems for the detection of windshear that includes Meteor 60DX meteorological radars. In the Asia-Pacific area, Selex ES GmbH will supply meteorological radars and systems to clients in Malaysia and Indonesia. (9Colonne)
