Slovakia evaluates 3D radar bids
The Slovak MoD and a team of technical experts began on 5 October to evaluate government-to-government offers for the supply of 3D air defence radars.
Slovakia requires 17 radars (six medium-range , five short-range and six very short-range) to ensure airspace surveillance coverage within the NATO Integrated Air and Missile Defense System.
The MoD received responses from all of the it approached in July: France, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Turkey, the UK and the US.
The Slovak MoD expects to spend €155 million ($181.8 million) on the programme with a role for the domestic defence industry. Defence minister Jaroslav Naď confirmed on 30 September that extra weighting would be given to bids that include workshare for Slovak firms.
