Polish air bases to get radar upgrade

Article Abstract:

Warsaw-based Cenrex has been awarded a contract by the Polish Air Force for the supply of ITT Gilfillan GCA-2000 ground-controlled approach radar systems. The GCA-2000 systems would be installed at the Minsk-Mazowiecki, Powidz and Swidwin air bases. These radars would be integrated with a PIT- developed air base C2 system called Terminal Lotnikowsky TU-20L. The contract is the first under new Polish offset law, which requires all defense contracts worth at least 5 million euros to be compensated by offset packages equal to the value of the deal.
