The new ATCR-33SE radar system from Selex at Southend Airport

A brand new, multi-million pound, dual-channel radar was installed at London Southend Airport, significantly improving radar coverage for the airport and the South East.

The new ATCR-33SE from Selex replaced the existing radar, and was the most up to date system supplied by Selex SI, and one of only four of its type installed in the UK (as at December 2011), and became fully operational in March 2012.

The system it replaced was a S511 prototype that was delivered from Marconi in Chelmsford in 1982 as a trial of the - then new - technology.
