The new radar will be added to existing radars at HIA.

It will also help in keeping pace with the growing capacity of the airport and Qatari airspaces, resulting in the enhancement of air traffic surveillance, air navigation safety and security.

The radar will be used in monitoring aircraft movement and identifying them within Qatar’s airspace and nearby areas within a coverage range of almost 230 nautical miles.

The device will also enable control over air navigation space during the upcoming FIFA World Cup in 2022.
