SELEX Sistemi Integrati awarded two contracts worth €100m

2 February 2010 - SELEX Sistemi Integrati, a Finmeccanica company, has been awarded two contracts with a combined value of approximately €100m by TELEDIFE (the Italian General Directorate of Telecommunications, IT and Advanced Technologies).

The first contract, worth €63m, was agreed with SELEX Sistemi Integrati as the prime contractor, and will last four years covering the supply of turnkey systems for seven radar sites and a coastal surveillance centre for the Italian navy. The new systems will enable the Italian navy to identify and classify objects and vessels with the benefit of Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR), a state-of-the-art technology that can generate high-definition electromagnetic images.

The contract also contains the chance to exercise an option worth €25m for the building of the Integrated Inter-ministerial Maritime Surveillance Device (DIISM). The project aims to ensure the integration and interoperability of information gathered from the control centres of numerous government bodies by creating a National Maritime Surveillance Centre (CNSM).

The second contract, worth €31m, relates to the supply by SELEX Sistemi Integrati of two RAT31DL/M mobile air surveillance radar systems (DADR – Deployable Air Defence Radar) for the Italian air force. The new devices, which will supplement the 12 RAT31DL stationary radars that SELEX Sistemi Integrati sold to the Italian defence administration last year, will help to introduce WiMAX technology to Italy. By replacing the radars currently used by the Italian air force, the RAT31DL systems will release the frequencies currently used by the Italian defence administration. The mobility, transportability and autonomy of the RAT31DL/M systems mean that they can also be used in out-of-area missions. The order, which will be completed within two years, follows the sale of two similar systems that are already being used by the German air force.
