CICERO, N.Y. — The Advanced Technology Systems Company (ATSC) recently awarded SRC, Inc. a contract to manufacture and deliver SR Hawk ground-surveillance radars in support of Egypt’s MS3 program.
The SR Hawk radar is a long-range ground surveillance radar. It provides highly reliable situational awareness in a low-power package that is easy to setup and use, SRC contends in a Feb. 14 news release. The company didn’t disclose the value of the contract in the release.
“We are honored to provide Egypt with the robust and capable SR Hawk radar for their mission,” SRC president and CEO, Kevin Hair, said. “These radars are helping to keep borders secure and warfighters safe around the world.”
The SR Hawk radar operates in all weather conditions and extreme temperatures common in Egypt. The radar offers automated electro-optic sensor cueing, audible alerts, multi-target tracking and anti-clutter techniques, allowing operators to focus on the threat, not the radar, per SRC. Hundreds of SR Hawk radar systems have been deployed worldwide, it added.
SRC is a nonprofit research and development company headquartered in Cicero that focuses on areas that include defense, environment, and intelligence.
