Cobham Special Mission vice president and general manager, Darren Moncrieff, said the advanced technology would assist new wind farm development approvals that have been previously prevented due planning restrictions because of the impact on aviation.
He said: "The solution is a continuation of proven Cobham technology and will present a picture to air traffic controllers that is free from interference from wind farms and provide a safer environment for air traffic. The system has received approval from the UK Civil Aviation Authority."
The latest project is for the 19 turbine Frodsham Wind Farm project in Cheshire, which impacts on the Chester Hawarden and Liverpool John Lennon airports, where the new radars are being installed. The system is expected to go into service in February 2016.
