The Argentine Air Force and security officials are focusing on the expansion and strategic use of radar infrastructure for national defense and law enforcement.

Initial efforts involve the National Aerospace Surveillance and Control System (SINVICA) project, which aims to renew equipment and infrastructure at the Río Grande Radar Site in the Cabo Domingo natural reserve. Officials stated the site is a “strategic asset for national defense and the surveillance of sovereign airspace.”

In parallel, security officials have proposed utilizing regional radars to combat crime and drug trafficking. Specifically, police leadership has requested the activation of radars to detect unauthorized flights entering the country from Paraguay through northern regions, such as Formosa and Chaco, to disrupt narcotics smuggling operations.
