Thales to Supply 66 Ground Surveillance Stations to Brazil
Thales recently announced a partnership with the Brazilian Airspace Control Department (DECEA), the agency of the Brazilian Air Force in charge of air traffic management.
Thales will supply and install ADS-B sensors for enhanced safety of commercial civil aviation. These sensors are one of the most modern solutions for air traffic surveillance and the first of its kind deployed by Thales in South America. Thales will install the ADS-B sensors in locations across over 20 Brazilian states.
The ADS-B receives information from the aircraft, such as position, speed, and identification, via transponder, supplementing the surveillance already carried out by secondary radars and providing a more comprehensive range of data for flight control teams located at airports.
With more than 130 installed air surveillance radars and more than 200 Navaids in operation in Brazil and a 20-year relationship between Thales and DECEA, the Group is proud to share the 1,000th air traffic surveillance radar milestone in Brazil.
In all, Thales will provide 66 stations. Sutech, a company specialising in deployment of aviation systems and infrastructure, will partner with Thales in the agreement and be responsible for gradually installing the sensors in four phases.
