SELEX Sistemi Integrati at Defence Service Asia 2010
SELEX Sistemi Integrati, a Finmeccanica
Company, and world leader in defence, civil and air traffic control
(ATC) and management systems and sensors, with a customer base in
over 150 countries, is participating at the Defence Service Asia
(DSA) exhibition in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – one of the major
aerospace and defence sector events in Asia.
In Malaysia, as well as in other countries in
South-East Asia, SELEX Sistemi Integrati has a relevant presence as
a leading supplier of electronic systems for air defence, naval
applications and air traffic management (ATM).
The Italian company’s long tradition in
Malaysia is demonstrated by the presence of two important companies
established with local industries: Comlenia – a
joint company between SELEX Sistemi Integrati and Comintel, which
provides naval logistics and technical support for systems on board
the Laksamana Class corvettes of the Royal Malaysian Navy; and
Advanced Air Traffic (AAT) systems – a joint
venture between SELEX Sistemi Integrati and other Malaysian equity
participants, for technical support and maintenance of ATC/ATM
radar systems.
The Malaysian market is deemed strategically
important for SELEX Sistemi Integrati. In fact, since the 1990s,
the Company has provided many primary radars, secondary radars and
ATC control centres in several Malaysian airports. The latest
contract in the ATC domain dates back to 2009, through which SELEX
Sistemi Integrati will equip eight airports in the country. The
agreement includes an ATCR33-S primary radar which will be
integrated with a SIR-S secondary radar already supplied by SELEX
Sistemi Integrati, systems for centres, control tower and
simulation and training for a total of 66 operator posts. All the
equipment will be interconnected, and will give birth to the
national integrated air control system, which will provide 90%
radar coverage of the Malaysian skies, also thanks to the previous
supplies, all by SELEX Sistemi Integrati. This will align Malaysia
to the most advanced ATC operational levels.
In the air defence sector, the National Air
Defence of Malaysia has acquired three RAT 31 family radar systems;
they are the mostly sold radar systems into NATO during the past
five years.
At DSA 2010, as part of the Finmeccanica stand
(4102 in Hall 4), SELEX Sistemi Integrati will be presenting its
most important products and programmes, showcasing its capabilities
in the fields of air defence, homeland security and naval systems.
In particular, the company will exhibit a RAT 31DL model, a Vessel
Traffic Management System demonstrator for port security and
MedusaMK4/L, an electro-optic (EO) naval sensor.

digitalisation allows the company’s systems to supply the command
with clear strategic and tactical frame of the friend and foe
deployments.
Product on show: RAT 31
DL
SELEX Sistemi Integrati is at the forefront of
long-range radar technology with RAT31/DL, a proven state-of the
art, 3D long range radar system, available in fixed (FADR-Fixed Air
Defence Radar), transportable and mobile (Deployable Air Defence
Radar – DADR) configurations. The sensor is effective to a range of
over 500km, is an advanced L-band solid state phased array, 3D
surveillance radar, with an advanced architecture incorporating
multiple simultaneous phase controlled pencil beams, which are all
proven solutions already in use in many radars of the same family.
RAT 31/DL can operate in full frequency agility mode, guaranteeing
resistance against Anti-Radiation Missiles (ARM) and Electronic
Counter Measures (ECM). It meets the latest NATO standards, has
full NATO interoperability, and has been developed to satisfy
future defence requirements. RAT 31/DL is the most sold radar
system into NATO in the last five years. Additionally, of the nine
countries worldwide having acquired a total of 34 radar systems,
seven of them belong to NATO.
