HARLOW, England, July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Systems Limited (RSL)
continues its run of contract wins for Monopulse Secondary Surveillance Radar
(MSSR) systems in the People's Republic of China. On July the 5th a contract
for an MSSR at Nanning, in Guangxi province, was signed in Guangzhou. This is
the headquarters of China's Central and Southern Region of the Air Traffic
Management Bureau (ATMB), itself part of the Civil Aviation Administration of
China (CAAC).
The Central and Southern Region is RSL's biggest ATMB customer in China
and the company is hopeful of further business as radar coverage is expanded
to monitor and control this busy airspace. The Nanning award brings the total
number of MSSR systems within the region to ten and within the whole of the
People's Republic to 27, all achieved within the last eight years...
RSL has now signed ten MSSR contracts since last September, an average of
one system each month, making China one of the company's largest commercial
customers. MSSR's, which can be used as stand alone systems or in conjunction
with Primary Surveillance Radar, provide additional, more comprehensive data
to air traffic controllers.
