A delegation from the General Directorate of the Coast Guard, headed by the Director General of the General Directorate of the Coast Guard, Rear Admiral Talal Al-Mounis, visited the General Directorate of Coast and Border Security in the sisterly State of Qatar to see the Qatari coastal radar system and benefit from it in the second phase of installing the Kuwaiti coastal radar system.
The second phase is scheduled to be installed during this year, reports Al-Jarida daily.
Informed security sources have been informed that the second radar system will cover all Kuwaiti territorial waters, including Kuwait Bay, which is currently outside the coverage of the current radar system.
The sources added that the second radar system is considered very advanced in several aspects, most notably the surveillance cameras and sensors sensitive to marine targets, and the target tracking system, which is distinguished by high quality.
The sources stated that the most prominent features of the second radar system are the protection of Kuwaiti territorial waters from smuggling, piracy and illegal fishing operations in times when it is forbidden to catch some types of fish or use prohibited fishing equipment.
