Chief Minister Oommen Chandy rededicated on Tuesday the 1.60 million-euro modern radar system at the Thiruvananthapuram International Airport.
The upgraded facility includes a Route Surveillance Radar (RSR) and an Approach Surveillance Radar (ASR) and was installed as part of the Airports Authority of India’s effort to provide safe, efficient, and environment-friendly aircraft operations. ELDIS Pardubice, the Czech Republic-based company, had installed the radars, which replaced the 18-year-old Airport Surveillance Radar and the Monopulse Secondary Surveillance Radar (MSSR).
Indra, an air traffic control technology developed by the Spanish Information Technology and Defence Systems Company, has already come up at the Air Traffic Control. The data from the new radar is integrated with Indra.
The same data is also fed to and integrated with Chennai Air Traffic Services (ATS) Automation system, along with other radar feeds, for providing radar coverage at required redundancy levels over the south Indian airspace.
