Investment in space research: Fraunhofer Institute asks Siemens to modernize high power radar system

Siemens has been commissioned by the Fraunhofer Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Techniques (FHR) to modernize the antenna of the High Power Radar System
TIRA (Tracking und Imaging Radar). The facility in Wachtberg, Germany, generates precise images of satellites and other objects in space, and also helps to track the orbits of space
debris. Under the modernization project Siemens will be renewing the drive and control equipment. The radar system is scheduled to come back into operation by the end of March
2011.
