The Lithuanian Armed Forces signed a contract with IAI this month on procuring five gap-filler short-range air surveillance radars and logistic maintenance services. The radars will be installed in Varėna, Švenčionys, Vilnius, Jurbarkas, and Pagėgiai.
Two of the radars are bought to compensate for the negatives impact wind farms developed in Šilutė and Tauragė districts have on the ability of the Lithuanian Armed Forces’ air surveillance radars to detect and track air targets.
Three companies applied for the tender of the Lithuanian Armed Forces for procuring short-range surveillance radars. IAI/ELTA was selected according to the price, costs of services after the warranty period, and technical parameters. The total price of the procured radars is around EUR 2.8 million (minus VAT).
The short-range radars will be integrated into the joint Lithuanian airspace surveillance system. They will begin service by the end of 2019.
