Kelvin Hughes, the UK-based maritime navigation and security radar systems company, has welcomed the Prime Minister Theresa May, to its Enfield head office and factory.
During an election campaign visit in north London, the PM was accompanied on a tour of the site by the firm’s senior management. She was shown stealth design pulse Doppler radars in the final stages of assembly.
The former Home Secretary discussed the latest naval navigation radar technology and the production capabilities of the company with Manufacturing Manager Matthew O’Sullivan, and also received a short demonstration of a drone detection system, SMS-D. She was briefed on export opportunities and the capabilities of the radar to see small targets, such as submarine periscopes, at longer ranges than conventional radars and the ability of the systems to enhance border security, on land and at sea.
