Nigeria inaugurates Falcon Eye system

摘要

The Nigerian Navy's Falcon Eye maritime surveillance system was officially inaugurated on 13 July. The system has been under development since 2014, with the Eastern Regional Command and Control Centre commissioned at the naval base in Calabar in 2017. According to RTCom Nigeria Limited, the company implementing the project, it consists of over-the-horizon radars with a range of 200 n miles, long-range electro-optical systems with a range of 30 n miles, and automatic identification system (AIS) receivers. These are linked to three regional control centres and a network operations centre to provide real-time situational awareness of the country's waters.
