“The scope of the contract includes modernisation of the regional control centre in Algiers and construction of a new centre at Tamanrasset.”

The project will also focus on enhancing surveillance throughout the country’s airspace by installing 11 radar stations equipped with four primary radars and nine mode S secondary radars, as well as 13 ADS-B surveillance stations.

The air traffic controllers’ workstations will also be equipped with Garex 300 digital voice communications supported by a network of 27 VSAT satellite stations with two hubs for the space segment, in addition to 30 VHF stations and over 20 HF stations.

This digital communications network will deliver a ground-air link to the pilots, ensuring the transmission of control and radar data to the centres, and add communications between the various control centres.

ENNA will also receive logistic support such as training, technical support, guarantees, spare parts, repairs, and updates from Indra throughout the whole lifecycle of the system.

The modernisation project is set to be completed in one and a half years.
