2008-01-18:
The Colombian Navy has acquired the Terma
SCANTER 2001 Surface Surveillance Radar for the four "Almirante
Padilla" Class Frigates.
The radars will be part of a modernisation program of the
vessels. Delivery will already take place in the first quarter of
2008.
The SCANTER Radar Systems are specifically designed to meet the
requirements for noise and interference rejection, signal
processing, electronic interfacing, signal distribution and
resistance to a tough environment.
The Terma Ship Radar Sensor is operational in navies worldwide,
including countries such as Sweden, Denmark, Mexico, Singapore,
Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Turkey, Greece, Korea, Finland and Great
Britain.
A versatile and modular concept ensures compliance with
application requirements and specific customer needs. The
Receiver-Transmitter (RxTx) system configuration ranges from single
frequency operation to RxTx systems with Frequency Diversity.
The SCANTER Radar System complies with the justification and
operational requirements onboard naval vessels to:
Provide backup to primary surveillance radar system
Assist onboard tactical task functions
Perform sea surveillance with automatic target tracking
Provide versatile interface capability for C3I (command, control,
communication and information) and other onboard systems
Provide safe navigation for year-round operation
