Saab launched its 3rd generation SR-3 solid state X-band Surface Movement Radar (SMR) for airport air traffic surveillance and control purposes.

The SR-3 is intended for airports that need to replace existing SMRs, or want to augment coverage due to growth. The open architecture design utilizes industry standard interfaces for easy integration into existing or new air traffic control systems.

 The SR-3 features an antenna, transceiver and radar data processor in a complete package in Advanced-Surface Movement Guidance and Control Systems (A-SMGCS).

The SR-3 radar is capable of carrying out surveillance in all visibility conditions due to 16-level frequency diversity, automatic clutter suppression through advanced signal processing, and sophisticated processing that eliminates multi-path targets.

The fully redundant design and small number of line replaceable units delivers high reliability, easy maintenance and low life cycle costs. In addition, the small indoor/outdoor transceiver cabinet means greater site flexibility and lower installation cost.
