The way of the future? Shown are" interactive-graphics" technicians at Westinghouse's Baltimore facility employing computer-aided design to develop different concepts that might be applied to the new ASR-9 Airport Surveillance Radar now being developed. Award of the over US$480-million contract to the firm to develop and build the system -- the largest radar production contract ever let by the U.S. FAA -- was announced last month. In all, 137 of the ASR-9s will be delivered over a five-year period, beginning in 1986. (For technical details on this system, see the 1CAO Bulletin, September 1983, pages 37-40.)
