Morocco wants to purchase eight AN/MPQ-64F1 radars

The AN/MPQ-64F1 Sentinel low altitude air surveillance and air defence radar is a 3D, phased array X-band unit capable of automatic target detection and tracking. The towed radar has a range of around 40 km and can detect targets from cruise missiles to unmanned aerial vehicles and helicopters. It serves as the primary air defence radar in the US Army, according to Raytheon. “Morocco is one of the most stable and pro-Western of the Arab states, and the US remains committed to a long-term relationship with Morocco,” the said in a release. “The proposed sale of Sentinel radars will greatly enhance Morocco’s interoperability with the US and other NATO nations, making it a more valuable partner in an increasingly important area of the world.” Late last month Hawker Beechcraft announced it had delivered 12 of 24 T-6C turboprop trainers to the Royal Moroccan Air Force (RMAF). The T-6C is an improved version of the T-6B Texan II featuring key upgrades such as an integrated glass cockpit, advanced avionics suite and wing hard-points that can accommodate auxiliary fuel tanks or bombs. The RMAF ordered the airplanes under a US$185.3 million contract announced in September 2009. T-6C is to replace the turboprop Beechcraft T-34 Mentor and Cessna T-37 jet trainer in service Tweet RMAF. Meanwhile at sea, the Royal Moroccan Navy has purchased three SIGMA (Ship Integrated approach to modular geometric) multi-mission frigates in April 2008 by Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding. The first frigate, flag number 613, was successfully launched in July 2010 and the second released in February of this year. The third ship is scheduled for launch this October.
