L3HARRIS
With over 75 years of mobile radar-based air traffic control, L3HARRIS is the world leader in developing technology and concepts of operations for GCA radar systems. L3HARRIS is a global leader in deploying standalone and net-centric, tactical air traffic management solutions that contribute to mission success in complex and changing operational environments.
L3HARRIS
The GCA product line is built for mobility and is rapidly deployable for air traffic services during natural disasters or in areas of conflict. With its compact design, the system can provide air traffic control capabilities even in extreme environments and low-visibility conditions.

The GCA-2020 is an Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR) / Precision Approach Radar (PAR) System providing high performance target detection in the airspace around an airport or air base. Simultaneous ASR and PAR operations from the single sensor provide accurate display of both types of radar data. Versatile, multimode, digital color displays and full communications support all controller operations. A PAR-only version (PAR-2020 or US DOD nomenclature AN/FPN-68A) is also available.

The GCA-2020 provides a unique configuration that allows for both approach and landing control. In its transportable configuration, radar can be powered by electric generators without the need for base power. The system is also available in a fixed configuration.
L3HARRIS
The GCA-2020 is fast and easy to install; its human-machine interface is full color and carefully arranged to reduce fatigue in the high-stress controller environment.
L3HARRIS
The GCA-2020 includes two or more full color universal displays that controllers can individually assign as ASR or PAR mode based on traffic needs. The FAA-certified ASR display format depicts four levels weather intensity. The PAR display provides the 3-D landing situation in a state-of-the-art digital Az-El format. This patented display adds an innovative “bullseye” for a pilot’s view of the approach.
L3HARRIS
L3HARRIS supplied the first PAR to the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1943 to help pilots land safely during inclement weather. The L3HARRIS PAR-2020 series continues to evolve through the process of progressive technical refresh, which provides the best available technology with long-term, cost-effective sustainability. The L3HARRIS AESA PARs are in use globally by over 20 armed services. Today, L3HARRIS is the world’s leading supplier of precision approach radars with more than 2500 PAR systems fielded over the past 75 years.
