INDRA to deploy new radars in Morocco and modernize the Agadir Control Center

The Moroccan air navigation services provider, the Office National des Aéroports (ONDA), has awarded Indra the contracts to deploy air traffic control radars at three different sites and to modernize the Agadir control center, one of the largest in the country. The systems supplied have a list price approximately of 10 million of Euros.

Indra will equip the Agadir station with a primary radar and a Mode S secondary radar, which together offer the maximum aircraft detection and identification capability. The company will also implement a Mode S secondary radar in Safi and another one in Ifrane to reinforce traffic control in their air space.

The implementation of these radars will enable ONDA to absorb increased air traffic as their precision allows the distance between aircraft to be reduced while maintaining maximum safety levels.
