The upgraded radar will help provide the RCAF with improved capability of weather threat detection that would enable air force pilots to carry out search-and-rescue missions using the C-130H aircraft.

“The WXR-2100 MultiScan ThreatTrack radar is used to detect and assess adverse weather conditions and automatically display weather that might pose a threat to aircraft.”

Rockwell Collins Canada managing director Lee Obst said: “The RCAF is getting the latest in weather threat detection, all while gaining weight and reliability improvements compared to legacy systems.

“As an off-the-shelf proven solution, it will have a minimal impact on the existing avionics and is an ideal fit for C-130 operators.”

The WXR-2100 MultiScan radar will use advanced weather radar technology during RCAF C-130 missions to automatically scan the environment, evaluate hazards, adjust for geographic differences in weather, remove ground clutter, and offer a simple intuitive presentation of the entire weather threat.
