en.Wedoany.com Reported - Danish defense and aerospace company Terma officially announced on May 15 that it will launch its flagship SCANTER 4002 co-located primary surveillance radar (PSR) and secondary surveillance radar (SSR) solution at the Airspace World 2026 exhibition, to be held in Lisbon, Portugal, from May 26 to 28. This solution integrates the primary radar and secondary radar on the same physical platform, providing compact surveillance capabilities for airport air traffic control scenarios, and has been deployed and validated at over 200 airports worldwide.
The SCANTER 4002 is a fully solid-state X-band radar designed for terminal area air surveillance at airports. It features strong detection capabilities for low-flying targets while providing high angular accuracy and resolution. The co-located solution combines the PSR with a monopulse secondary surveillance radar on a single physical architecture, reducing reliance on antenna towers and infrastructure, simplifying the installation process, and lowering lifecycle costs. The X-band operating characteristics enable the system to maintain stable tracking and separation of small targets even in heavy clutter environments such as wind farms, a capability validated through field tests in multiple wind-intensive areas in Denmark and in Abilene, Texas, USA.
Michael Agergaard Riis, Business Development Director for Airport Surveillance at Terma, stated that bringing the SCANTER 4002 to market as a co-located PSR and MSSR system provides airports with an efficient solution that balances enhanced safety with infrastructure simplification, and supports a cost-optimized upgrade path for future air traffic demands.
Headquartered in Aarhus, Denmark, Terma operates in the defense, aerospace, and security markets, with branches in several countries including the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, India, Singapore, and the UAE, employing over 1,600 people globally. In the field of air traffic control radar, Terma has delivered over 3,000 radar systems worldwide. The SCANTER series covers multiple mission scenarios, including terminal area air surveillance, surface movement radar, coastal surveillance, and counter-drone detection. Among them, the SCANTER Sphera 3D counter-drone radar was released in May 2025, and the SCANTER 5000 series software-defined radar has achieved long-term deployment validation with organizations such as the Port of London Authority.
Airspace World 2026, organized by the Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation (CANSO), is the annual core exhibition in the international air traffic control and airspace management sector. This year's event will be held at the FIL International Exhibition Centre in Lisbon and is expected to welcome attendees from 140 countries. Terma will showcase this co-located radar solution and related airport surveillance systems at booth H2-710.
