Terma, a leading global provider of radar solutions is proud to announce the installation of a state-of-the-art SCANTER 5502 radar system by NAV CANADA at YYC Calgary International Airport.

The SCANTER 5502 radar system has previously been successfully deployed at other major Canadian locations, including Toronto Pearson Airport (YYZ) and in support of NAV CANADA’s training activities in Cornwall, Ontario. This deployment is a testament to the proven reliability and performance of Terma's SMR in enhancing situational awareness and maintaining the highest standards of aviation safety across Canada.
