Raytheon Systems Limited to supply radar systems for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Raytheon Systems Limited (RSL) has been awarded a major contract by the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for nationwide air traffic management surveillance based upon Cooperative Surveillance systems.
The contract is a significant win in a competitive tender procurement and will enable the extension of radar surveillance for air traffic control throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It will deliver both a substantial enhancement of flight safety for the rapidly growing domestic airline sector and also improve the efficiency of the Saudi Arabias air traffic management system. The programme provides for the supply of radar systems, together with their supporting infrastructure, for en route services as well as for radar approach control at the Kingdoms major international airports. Additionally Raytheon will establish within Saudi Arabia a regional maintenance facility that will support not only systems being supplied to GACA, but also a significant number of systems already deployed in the region for other Air Navigation Service Providers. Richard Claydon, RSL Head of Air Traffic Management Systems, said: An award of this magnitude from such an important customer as the GACA reinforces Raytheons position as foremost surveillance provider. It also extends Raytheons state-of-the-art surveillance in this important regional market, which is distinguished by continuing growth in contrast to an economic downturn elsewhere
Engineer Mohammed Ahmed Al-Salmi, GACA Vice President Air Navigation Services, said: We are pleased to be working with Raytheon Systems Limited on this very important project and look forward to the establishment of a long and enduring partnership.
