The project is part of Bahrain’s ongoing commitment to bolster aviation safety, airspace efficiency and regional air navigation services.
The agreement will see Leonardo supply, deliver and install cutting-edge radar systems, including the ATCR 33S NG primary surveillance radar and SIR S/I secondary surveillance radar. These advanced technologies, along with associated equipment, will enhance Bahrain’s air traffic management capabilities by delivering real-time, high-resolution surveillance across the Kingdom’s airspace.
The contract, which extends to early 2027, also includes comprehensive in-service support, ensuring operational effectiveness and sustainability of the radar systems. Leonardo’s commitment encompasses not only on-site installation but also remote services and support.
This upgrade represents a significant leap forward in Bahrain’s air traffic management capacity, reinforcing its strategic role in Middle Eastern aviation.
