HC Deb 30 April 1980 vol 983 cc558-9W
Mr. Mawby

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether the LW08 air traffic control radar system currently being considered by the Civil Aviation Authority, is already successfully in use with the Royal Navy.

Mr. Speed

The Dutch LW08 radar transmitter and receiver forms part of the Royal Navy's Type 1022/AZV surveillance radar system which, assembled by Marconi Radar Systems Limited, is at present being brought into service to equip the anti-submarine carriers and the later Type 42 guided missile destroyers.
