Sensor solutions provider Hensoldt has secured a contract from air navigation services provider Austro Control to deliver two high-performance radar systems for modernising air traffic control systems in Austria.

The new radar systems guarantee reliable detection offered by the new air traffic control standard ‘Mode S’, and also safe management of air traffic even in the ‘radar shadow’ of wind farms.

Objects such as small aircraft that do not identify themselves with the help of their own transponder signals can be detected using the primary radar.

This radar is integrated with a special signal processing technology to carry out wide-area air surveillance. It is also capable of detecting objects at an altitude of up to 50,000ft.

With the help of the MSSR 2000 I secondary radar, which meets the new ‘Mode S’ and ‘ADS-B’ standards, aircraft emitting their own transponder signals can be automatically identified.

Hensoldt has already delivered secondary radar systems for the air traffic control systems at Vienna International Airport.
