The aim is to cut down the impact of possible errors and temporary coverage failures of adjacent radars.

Thales Spain country director Jesús Sánchez Bargos said: “Our experience in air navigation systems, as well as our technological solutions, will make it possible for Enaire to improve surveillance in the Cantabrian Sector.”

Recently, Thales reached a separate agreement with Enaire for the delivery of two ADS-B air surveillance stations.

The portable outdoor and indoor systems are expected to equip the Espiñeiras radar tower (A Coruña) to offer surveillance over the Atlantic oceanic area, which borders Flight Information Region (FIR) Santa María, Lisbon and Madrid.
