Selex Galileo signs double radar deal with Saudi technology city
Saudi Arabia's King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) has signed two contracts with Selex Galileo to include delivery of SELEX Galileo's PicoSAR and cutting edge ESCAN radar technologies for joint research, development and demonstration purposes, and a series of training and industrial participation modules centred around SELEX Galileo's world renowned radar expertise.
The PicoSAR contract is the third over the last few months for the compact, high performance SAR/GMTI radar which the Italian owned manufacturer describes as the ideal solution for challenging UAS surveillance applications.
The two contracts are the latest in the high technology partnership between Selex and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia KACST following a formal collaboration agreement signed in 2010 - some 18 months after the initial MoU.
Selex has a base in Riyadh - Selex Galileo Saudi Arabia (SGSA),- which is a wholly owned subsidiary.
