Australia's Cobham Aviation Services has awarded a contract to Selex ES, a Finmeccanica company, for its Seaspray 5000E active electronically scanned array (AESA) surveillance radars.
The radars will be used in Cobham's Challenger CL-604, search and rescue (SAR) aircraft, to help the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) with airborne SAR services.
AMSA will deploy Cobham's radars from August 2016, once the current contract expires.
Under the contract Cobham will be responsible for acquiring, modifying, commissioning and then operating and maintaining four Challenger CL-604 special mission jet aircraft, which will provide SAR capability over land and at sea from bases in Cairns, Melbourne and Perth.
