3D Radar Power Plant Programme
A 200 kW power plant capable of operating at altitudes up to 3,000 metres, featuring an integrated UPS that ensures 10 minutes of autonomous operation.
In October 2024, the Spanish Air and Space Force strengthened its air surveillance capabilities by incorporating new 3D radars. These advanced systems can detect low-signature aircraft, such as drones and stealth aircraft, significantly enhancing national airspace security.
To ensure optimal operation of these radars in high-altitude locations up to 3,000 metres, it is crucial to have power plants that deliver 200 kW of power. ITE designs and develops these power plants, equipping them with Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems to guarantee at least 10 minutes of autonomy, ensuring operational continuity in case of power failures.
The modular UPS design allows for scalable power expansion from 10 kW to 200 kW within a single cabinet, adapting to the specific needs of each installation.
The integration of these energy solutions, known as the 3D Radar Power Plant, is vital for the Spanish Air and Space Force, as it ensures the continuous operation of air surveillance systems in demanding environments and at high altitudes.
Furthermore, these systems enhance detection and response capabilities against modern aerial threats, contributing to the security and defence of Spanish airspace.
