WARSAW - As countries in the Central and Eastern Europe reaches of NATO seek to maximize military investment and achieve efficiencies in procurement a proposal has been floated by defense companies of the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia involving a joint purchase of new 3-D radars. The purchase would allow the armies of these respective nations to phase out their aging, Soviet-produced P-37 radars and replace them with a singular model, thus allowing for interoperability between the allied partners.
According to Czech business daily E15 the plan calls for the Army of the Czech Republic to procure five radars, the Slovak military to acquire four and the Hungarian armed forces to purchase two radars. While Poland was invited to partake in the joint venture, it opted to decline. It is expected that by the end of September the Czech Defense Ministry will have reached a decision whether to join in the joint procurement scheme or to pursue its own solution via a separate competition.
