The potential to fulfill the Mexican Navy's maritime requirements is an additional 6 of these radar systems.

The APS-143C(V)3, Telephonics' high performance maritime surveillance radar, is durable, lightweight, highly reliable and offers ISAR and SAR imaging as well as outstanding long-range, small target detection.

"We are pleased to be a part of this team in support of the Mexican Navy's maritime and border surveillance missions", said Mr. Kevin McSweeney, Radar Systems Division President.
