"The radar combines advanced features with mobility to provide an agile, rapidly deployable air traffic management capability."

"The integration of cutting-edge technology, compatibility and value that we offer our customers has reinforced our leadership and expanded our footprint in the critical network of global air transportation," Prater said.

Considered a significant step in Exelis international growth strategy, the contract expands Poland’s current global compatibility, providing standardisation across all branches of Polish military and its Nato allies.

Specifically, the radar is expected to provide Poland with the high-performance air navigation services required to fulfil demanding International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and Nato flight safety standards.
