Moving from design to production, technicians put the finishing touches on the first ASR-9 airport surveillance radar being developed by Westinghouse for the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. The prototype antenna was moved to a test range near Baltimore, Maryland, last January; first delivery of a completed ASR-9 is scheduled for 1986. This advanced system simultaneously tracks and presents aircraft and weather to air traffic controllers without interfering clutter. Westinghouse is under contract to deliver 137 systems to the U.S. Government. (Details on this new system were published in the September 1983 issue of the ICAO Bulletin.)
