Iraq Gets ATC Face Lift

Raytheon Wins Contract For Air Traffic Management Systems 

On Wednesday, Raytheon Company announced it was awarded a contract to supply turnkey air traffic management systems for airports in Iraq. The initial award is for $10.5 million, with additional equipment options of up to $38.9 million.
   
Work under this contract will restore full, all weather air traffic control capability to the key commercial airports in Iraq and reestablish the infrastructure needed in order for Iraq to rejoin the international air traffic community. Raytheon will supply state-of-the-art navigation and landing aids, airfield lighting, airport meteorological equipment, as well its latest field-proven all solid-state, digital terminal area surveillance radars and Raytheon AutoTrac II air traffic management systems.

"A fully restored and operable air traffic system is key to rebuilding Iraq's infrastructure and to reopening trade and commerce," said Andrew Goldman, vice president of Raytheon's International Air Traffic Management Systems. "Raytheon is prepared to provide ATM systems rapidly to establish a highly reliable and easily expandable air traffic control system."

Raytheon's fully digital solid-state radar provides airport terminal area primary surveillance coverage to 60 nautical miles and secondary surveillance to 120 nautical miles. The radar uses advanced signal processing to provide greatly improved target and weather processing in addition to providing digital data to support the advanced capabilities of Raytheon's AutoTrac II
air traffic management system.
   
Raytheon's AutoTrac ATM system is in operational service in more
locations than any other modern ATM system.  More than 350 systems have been delivered worldwide. AutoTrac incorporates features to improve air safety, increase airspace capacity and provide increased air traffic controller efficiency while providing high performance and high reliability. The system is scalable to meet the requirements of the full range of ATM domains including control tower, terminal/approach control, and en route.

The contract in Iraq further expands Raytheon's air traffic management systems presence in the Middle East.  Current customers in the region include United Arab Emirates, Oman, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia.
