Technical details
Producer: Simrad (NO)

Simrad Yachting, a leader in the design and manufacture of world-class marine navigation, autopilot, radar, communications and fishfinding systems, announced the Simrad Advanced HD Digital Radar Family. Combining professional-grade, high performance open array scanners with a proven history of oceangoing reliability and the oldest in digital signal processing, the new Simrad 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 Simrad Advanced HD Digital 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, the new Simrad Radar family boasts 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 oldest magnetron and RF design technology, safe radiation levels remain within the swing of the circle of the antenna.

The new Simrad Advanced HD Digital Radar Family is currently available from approved dealers around the world.
