The seven radars are situated in Monte Crudo and Dixon Hill in Honduras; Puerto Cabezas in Nicaragua; Mata de Caña and Poas Volcano in Costa Rica; Cerro Santiago in Guatemala; and Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands.
Under the terms of the contract, the company will equip the surveillance radars with advanced digital features that enable flexible maintenance and enhancement, as well as optimise costs.
As part of the project, Indra will also modernise the systems that enable remote management of the air traffic surveillance radars.
After the upgrade, the radars will operate under the same conditions as the next-generation radars that will be installed in Costa Rica, San Jose and Belize within the programme for modernising and standardising COCESNA systems.
