Marking the entry of next-generation technology in the Nepal Civil Aviation sector, an advanced radar system has been recently built at Bhatte Danda of Lalitpur district to monitor Nepal\u2019s Air Traffic Control (ATC).<\/p>\n
This system called Mode S Monopulse Secondary Surveillance Radar (MSSR) stands far beyond the primary and secondary surveillance radar at the Kathmandu\u2019s Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA), in terms of efficiency and advancement.<\/p>\n
With this system in place, now Nepal\u2019s ATC department can track any aircraft flying in Nepal\u2019s air zone, the entire Himalayan region and parts of Indian airspace, along with safety and efficiency in areas that lacked radar coverage so far. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe MSSR coverage will be extended to the entire eastern, southern and Himalaya regions, and up to Surkhet (250 nautical miles or 463 km) in the west,\u201d says Sanjiv Singh Kathayat, Chief of the Project.<\/p>\n
