Cassidian, the renamed defence and security division of EADS, introduces a new security radar into the market which by the use of new technologies opens up completely new opportunities for the surveillance of border areas or sensitive industrial installations. The radar which has been sold as part of a huge border protection system under the designation TRGS Sec (Tactical Radar Ground Surveillance, Security) forms the nucleus of a whole product family of security radars named SPEXER. Under the new serial name SPEXER 2000 the radar will be shown for the first time during the International Defence Exhibition IDEX in Abu Dhabi. The first batch of 40 radars has been delivered for integration in a huge border protection system; a military version has been delivered to the German Army.
