Surveillance Radar Procurement

Original TED description

Fintraffic Air Navigation Services Ltd (Fintraffic) is starting a radar procurement process. Fintraffic provides surveillance-based air traffic control service concerning complete Helsinki FIR (en-route), Helsinki Airport and most of the regional airports. The operational surveillance coverage is achieved via several surveillance sensors including Monopulse Secondary Surveillance Radar (MSSR), Primary Surveillance Radar and Wide Area Multilateration (WAM) systems.
