Ericsson signs contract with Greek government
Keywords Ericsson, Radar
Ericsson's airborne early warning radar system, ERIEYE, was originally chosen by Greece's government in December 1998. A recent announcement confirmed that the parties have signed a final contract to the value of over SEK 4 billion.
The contract comprises four systems and deliveries to begin in year 2002. The contract framework also includes an option for two systems. ERIEYE will be used to monitor airspace and the Greek Islands. The Greek ERIEYE will be carried by Brazilian EMB-145 jet aircraft. All the systems are completely integrated with the prevailing management and communication systems used by NATO.
