C2AIR: Modernization of the Schweizer Luftraumüberwachung stockt

The system of the Schweizer Luftraums, Florako, has been in the Einsatz for 20 years and has urgently made a modernization proposal: The Parlament paid 155 million Francs for the first time in 2020 to accept the part of the systems. See the description of the French Systems «SkyView» on the Rustungskonzern Thales. Armeeintern is implementing the project called «C2AIR».

Doch der Plan, the new system in plant reservations for integration, geriet in Stocken. The Armee and Armasuisse, the Federal Office for Peace, can no longer use the Schwierigkeiten after the integration of «SkyView». So Parliament must be prepared to spend more 159 Million Francs in 2023. A trotzdem: The project «C2AIR» would no longer exist as a research into Radio SRF.

The military has suspended the project – and that is February. The separation would have caused a risk turn, the big problem in saving «SkyView» and still no access to the army’s digital platform. There is a statement from the military that the content of the claim is that it has clearly not been properly assessed.

I’m one of those summers when an Arbeitsgruppe starts looking for risk alternatives. On September 10, the result will take place – but with a great deal of experience: The risks were not submerged, under pressure. Here comes the long delivery time for IT equipment of the project with more concerns. Statt 2025 rechnet the Armee inzwischen with a Start in the year 2030 – five years later as usprünglich planted.

There is a tricky situation for the Luftwaffe. If you continue longer with the other systems of Ralus and Lunas in Betrieb, it increases if the Risiko is an Ausfalls. When the military started, the active system was consumed in 2029, but it may have been a success in the end. Large numbers of people who had suffered a very heavy burden in the autumn were no longer able to attend.

So let the “C2AIR” project get started, while the army and weapons are weiter after such problems. Clarity is the end of the year. It is possible that the modernization of the Schweizer Luftraumüberwachung is an offene Baustelle.
