Today ITT through Electronic Systems (Gilfillan) offers a full complement of military and civilian radar systems, advanced displays and software for all air traffic control and air defence applications worldwide.
ITT Defence Limited was awarded the contract by the UK Ministry of Defence for the Replacement Precision Approach (PAR) Programme. The heart of this is the Electronic Systems (Gilfillan) advanced technology GCA-2000 Radar that was co-produced and supported from within the UK. The GCA-2000 is an Air Traffic Control Landing System that guides aircraft to a safe landing in adverse weather and provides precision approach services out to a range of 20 nautical miles.
ITT Defence Limited is currently engaged in an extended (out to 2017) CLS contract with the MoD to provide 24-7 contractor support for 26 PAR Systems. Additionally, we provide support to the UK MoD Type 93 Air Defence Radars. Our engineering support facilities provide ITT with a European hub for worldwide support to any Radar Project. With the development of future requirements both domestic and international, ITT Defence Limited is well placed to become a major force in the delivery of Total Support Solutions for our expanding customer base.
