BAE Systems has been awarded a $2 million contract to provide a Continuous Wave (CW) Doppler radar to the United Kingdom Aberporth Test and Evaluation Range, operated by QinetiQ on behalf of the U.K. Ministry of Defence.

Work will be performed by BAE Systems employees in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.
The CW Doppler radar provides significant advantages in both technical performance and cost over other available systems in the market, said Larry Wise, president, BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services. We look forward to expanding this new product line and to continue providing our test range customers the instrumentation they require.
