Reutech is to continue working on the RSR320 Dual Band Radar (DBR) XL system despite development being temporarily suspended.

Delays to the South African Navy's BIRO offshore patrol vessel (OPV) and inshore patrol vessel (IPV) progamme mean that radar offerings for the ships will have to wait.

Reutech is testing its latest radar system by tracking aircraft flying at the AAD exhibition in Pretoria.

With the new MSR range, Reutech says that it set out to do the "impossible": to design a state of the art strategic monitoring radar and a cutting edge tactical monitoring radar in one.
