The Commission for the Implementation of the Brazilian Airspace Control System (CISCEA), an entity of the Brazilian Air Force Airspace Control Department (DECEA), awards a modernization contract for 9 Primary and Secondary Surveillance Radars to Omnisys, a Thales company.
The recent deployment of a co-mounted Primary TRAC NG and Secondary RSM NG radar, at Presidente Prudente airport (S o Paulo), marks the 133rd milestone of installed Thales ATC (Air Traffic Control) radars in Brazil, contributing to more than 80% of the country's airspace security and safety.
Renowned for outstanding reliability, unmatched performance and the latest in digital innovations, Thales Primary and Secondary radars, play a vital role in air surveillance, maintaining constant awareness of aircraft position at all times.

The modernization of these nine radars includes upgrades with advanced technology capable of 3D detection of both low- and high-speed targets. It also features integration between Mode S1 and the ADS-B system, enabling greater precision in identifying cooperative and non-cooperative aircrafts. The update includes electronic protection features to ensure effective operation, even in the presence of electromagnetic interference, guaranteeing continuous and reliable surveillance.
Certified by the Brazilian Ministry of Defence, as a Strategic Defence Product (PED) and manufactured at Omnisys headquarters near S o Paulo, the new co-mounted Primary TRAC NG and Secondary RSM NG Surveillance Radar is installed at Presidente Prudente airport (S o Paulo), and provisioned for future IFF (Identification, Friend or Foe) implementation. The launch of this radar station is part of the broader strategy to keep Brazilian skies increasingly secure.
The radar station will expand air traffic surveillance capabilities, significantly improving safety and operational efficiency at Presidente Prudente Airport - the third busiest airport in the interior of the state of S o Paulo.
This initiative represents a strategic step in renewing Brazil's radar network, ensuring greater operational reliability and alignment with current air traffic control demands, says Air Lieutenant Brigadier Maur cio Augusto Silveira de Medeiros, General Director of DECEA. DECEA is proud of the significant operational advancements and efficiency level achieved at the Brazilian airspace control system, recognized as a worldwide reference. Thales, thanks to its cutting-edge solutions and commitment to localization, is a major partner of the Brazilian Air Force. We highly value this partnership and look forward to continued collaboration to further enhance our capabilities.
With 133 radars for Air Traffic Control and Management produced and delivered in Brazil, Thales confirms its commitment to deliver the best in technology, contributing to the security of Brazilian airspace. Local production not only reinforces, but also highlights our dedication to innovate in order to meet the specific needs of our customers. The modernization contract is key to maintaining the installed base of radars at the highest level of technology, as well as ensuring high operational reliability. We are committed to developing technology that addresses both current and future challenges of national airspace and security, adds Eric HUBER, Vice President Surface Radars, Thales.
