BAE Systems will also be responsible for periodic technical visits to the Navy Arsenal of Rio de Janeiro, located in the Guanabara Bay area. During these visits, lectures and small courses on the maintenance and operation of the ARTISAN radar will also be conducted to share information and knowledge with the Brazilian Navy workers, as established in the agreement.
The company’s radar is essential to the ship and provides the NAM Atlântico with surface and air surveillance and air traffic management for fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, ensuring higher quality and safety in navigation.
