The company further said that the radars can be used in all weather conditions, and in the extreme temperatures usually seen in Egypt.

SRC regularly offers hardware and software updates to improve the usability and performance of the SR Hawk radar systems.

SRC president and CEO Kevin Hair said: “We are honoured to provide Egypt with the robust and capable SR Hawk radar for their mission.

“These radars are helping to keep borders secure, and warfighters safe around the world.”

Egypt’s defence ministry recently signed a $1.65bn agreement with Hanwha Defense to procure an unspecified number of K9 self-propelled howitzers.

The deal makes Egypt the first African nation to procure the K9 howitzers.
