Nell’ambito dell’ammodernamento delle infrastrutture di “traiettografia e localizzazione” della base di lancio europea di KOUROU, VITROCISET si è recentemente aggiudicata, quale capofila di un raggruppamento industriale che contempla BAE SYSTEM, la commessa per l’approvvigionamento, qualificazione e messa in linea operativa di un radar di inseguimento mobile in banda C.

Il radar, denominato AMAZONIE, si integrerà con gli altri sistemi già presenti a Kourou e di cui Vitrociset cura la reingegnerizzazione della parte elettronica, aggiudicata a fronte di competizione internazionale nel 2014. L’Azienda è responsabile dal 2012 e fino al 2017 della manutenzione e supporto operativo delle stesse infrastrutture di localizzazione, metereologiche e di teleneutralizzazione del lanciatore, le più critiche presenti alla base.
