Mode-S Monopulse Secondary Surveillance Radar systems
ATC‑NL intends to replace the outdated Mode‑S MSSR Terminal Approach Radar (TAR‑1) at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The new system, also designated as TAR‑1, must support cooperative Mode‑S coverage for the Schiphol Tower, Schiphol Approach, and the Area Control Centre. Additionally, ATC‑NL is investigating whether it is also necessary to replace the Terminal Approach Radar at Groningen Airport Eelde (TAR‑Eelde). The procurement concerns the delivery of a high-reliability Mode‑S Monopulse Secondary Surveillance Radar (MSSR), with integration capacity with existing ATC infrastructure and support for future expansions. The procedure is non-public, indicating a limited number of potential suppliers and rapid implementation. The focus lies on technical specifications, operational availability, maintenance support, and compatibility with international aviation standards.
