A Sussex firm is preparing to update 40-year-old technology at military airfields across Britain.
Horsted Keynes-based Kerry Technology is to build computers for the Met Office to measure and analyse runway windspeeds.
The firm beat off competition from across Europe to win the contract, which could be worth over £160,000.
Commercial director Trevor Swainson said: "This is a very significant contract for Kerry.
"It not only gives us ongoing work but it also gives us an excellent reference point for winning new business in the public sector."
