Blighter Surveillance Systems has won a contract (it's first in South America) from Paraguay's National Civil Aviation Administration (DINAC) - via local security systems integrator Omni S.A. - to supply its Blighter B400 Series radar solution for enhanced security at the country's two busiest international airports.

The Blighter B400 Series passive electronically scanned array (PESA) radars are now deployed at Silvio Pettirossi International Airport, near Asunción in Western Paraguay and at Guarani International Airport located on the Eastern border in the city of Minga Guazú.

Mark Radford, CEO of Blighter Surveillance Systems, said: "We are delighted to have secured this contract for the two main airports in Paraguay, our first sale in South America. The significant benefits of the Blighter radar are now being recognised by busy international airports such as London Heathrow and others in the United States, Europe and Africa. We plan to build on this success in this region by targeting other airports and infrastructure sites - oil and gas facilities, mines and air bases that would clearly benefit from our advanced protection technology."
