Seawork exhibitor, Simrad claims its new radar family offers unparalleled detection
20 Nov 2014
Simrad claim its new radar family offers an improvement over that which will be required by the International Telecommunication Union’s low emission standard
Simrad claim that their Advanced HD Digital Radars offer unparalleled situational awareness with exceptional detection of small or distant targets and minimised screen-clutter. The new line-up includes 6-foot 10kW (TXL-10S-6) and 7-foot 25kW (TXL-25S-7) open array systems, as well as a 4-foot 10kW (TXL-10S-4) array.
Designed with long-life magnetrons and brushless motors, the new radars feature automatic tune, gain and sea clutter adjustments, automatic harbour and offshore modes and dual EBL/VRM. Units support both true and relative motion to distinguish moving targets from landmasses, have dual guard zones with alarm triggering and sensitivity adjustments for targets both entering/exiting to optimise safety.
They also allow for tracking 10 user-selected MARPA targets. A high-speed heading sensor can be added to enable chart overlay on compatible Simrad NS Series multifunction displays and a choice of colour palettes ensures improved target distinction based on viewing conditions.
Designed to meet all current and future clean spectrum requirements, Simrad claim its new radar family offers an improvement over that which will be required by the International Telecommunication Union’s low emission standard – scheduled to become mandatory in some countries by August 2015. Through the implementation of the latest magnetron and RF design technology, safe radiation levels remain within the swing of the circle of the antenna.
Meet the Simrad team on stands A277 and Q28 at Seawork in 16-18 June 2015
at ABP Southampton.
