When building a Raymarine C-Series or E-Series Radar System you have your choice of either Open Array of closed Radome scanner. Both Radomes and Open Arrays are fully compatible with every every multifunction display and deliver unparalleled performance. To help you decide which antenna is right for you we have listed the advantages of each scanner type below.
The use of new SD Radar systems (Super Definition) makes your Colour Plotter an excellent High Definition Radar Screen for navigating in any weather condition.
Five Antenna versions are available, which allow a wide choice based on preferred navigation and type of vessel, both sailboat and motorboat.
All informations provided by the system are perfectly visible on the LCD Display. The contours of the Radar image will surprise you with their clear brightness.
The Lorenz SD Radar system can be interfaced with cartographic plotters of the World Map 11 and Starlight Dual series.
Some of the most important features like EBL, VRM, Rings, Mark positioning, rotation speed control, sectorial obstacle alarm with choice of angle and selected distance, make the Radar system easy and intuitive to use.
The great innovation is brought by the CHART OVERLAY system that allows to place the cartographic image over the image actually read by the Radar, as seen from the bow of the vessel.
This feature is particularly advisable for night navigation and with poor visibility. The radar system makes navigation more secure in difficult passages or when entering a harbour, than when depending only on the predefined nautical chart.
The SD Radar is supplied with an Anticollision System that automatically gives an optical and acoustic alarm signal that calculates on forehand if on your route you will meet other obstacles.
The GMR 404 open array radar (pedestal sold separately; click on accessories tab to view pedestal) allows you to scan more of what's out there while you're on the water. Whether ships, shores, birds or weather, you'll see it sooner with the powerful 4-foot GMR 404 and its larger counterpart, the GMR 406.
The GMR 404 is a 4-foot open array scanner with 1.8° beamwidth and a range of 72 nautical miles. With this beamwidth and 4 kilowatts of power, the 404 offers outstanding clarity, precision and target definition. You can also use the 404 to avoid traffic on the water with MARPA target tracking.
The GMR 406 open array radar (pedestal sold separately; click on accessories tab to view pedestal) allows you to scan more of what's out there while you're on the water. Whether ships, shores, birds or weather, you'll see it sooner with the powerful 6-foot GMR 406 and its smaller counterpart, the GMR 404.
The GMR 406 is a 6-foot open array scanner with 1.1° beamwidth and a range of 72 nautical miles. With this intense beamwidth and 4 kilowatts of power, the 406 offers outstanding clarity, precision and target definition. You can also use the 406 to avoid traffic on the water with MARPA target tracking.
Today's tactical environment demands an I- Band radar that is able to provide superb performance in clutter for navigation safety, the detection of the small fast attack craft (FIAC) threat and the tracking of small helicopter targets. SharpEye™ meets these requirements and has been developed as the world's first new technology I-Band navigation and surveillance radar.
Kelvin Hughes' F- Band SharpEye radar is able to provide superb performance in clutter for navigation safety, the detection of the small fast attack craft (FIAC) threat and the tracking of small helicopter targets. SharpEye™ meets these requirements and has been developed as the world's first new technology I-Band navigation and surveillance radar. Incorporating the latest in solid state, pulse doppler and signal processing technologies, SharpEye™ offers performance previously only possible in extremely expensive military or civil aviation surveillance radar. Combining this with the reliability of a completely solid-state solution gives SharpEye™ the edge in this demanding market.
