Upon completion of the PSR3D and MSSR radar system deployments in Christchurch, Indra will also install radars in the areas of Auckland and Wellington.

The three projects will modernise the country’s radar network with three primary 3D radars.

The radars will be co-mounted and operate with three secondary Mode S Monopulse SSR (MSSR).

Replacing legacy radars, Indra said that the new radar systems would enable an accurate view of air movements and safer flight management. 

The company added that its radar systems are in line with the standards set by Airways New Zealand for ‘sustainable’ systems.

These systems are able to operate in the vicinity of wind or solar farms without obstructing the production of renewable energy.

The project will be concluded over a span of three years.

In March, Indra agreed to install its 3D civil aviation radar in South Korea.
