Furuno NAVnet Digital Radar Sensor

The Furuno NAVnet Digital Radar Sensor takes maritime navigation to the next level. By fully digitizing radar information, the sensor can be seamlessly integrated into the NAVnet navigation system. This results in a system that delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability at both short and long ranges.

Comprehensive Features and Benefits

• Advanced Data Processing: Digital processing optimizes signal accuracy, ensuring real-time target detection—even under challenging conditions.
• Flexible Radar Beam: The sensor digitally adjusts the width of the radar beam. This provides an optimal image by allowing you to tailor the setting to specific situations.
• Dual Image Display: Two independent radar images are displayed simultaneously in real time, each with its own range and automatic, mutually independent noise suppression.
• Variable and Adaptive Rotation Rate: With a default of 48 revolutions per minute for short ranges and automatic pulse length adjustment, the sensor gives you the best response in various scenarios.
• ARPA and AIS Integration: Built-in ARPA detects and tracks up to 30 targets simultaneously, while additional AIS information provides added context—a vital tool in busy waters.
• True Color Technology: Up to 32 different radar echo colors clearly distinguish between targets, making radar image interpretation much more intuitive.
  Adjustable Safety Alerts: With customizable warning zones and a watch alarm, you'll be instantly alerted to potential hazards, contributing to increased safety.
• Accurate Bearing: Two Variable Range Rings (VRMs) and two Electronic Bearing Lines (EBLs) enable precise determination of both bearing and distance to targets.
  Easy Integration: Thanks to standard CAN bus connections and a compact design, the sensor is easy to implement into existing systems.

The benefits of this digital sensor go beyond mere technical specifications. Thanks to a design developed by radar technology experts, the Furuno NAVnet Digital Radar Sensor provides in-depth insight into the maritime environment.

The NME-award-winning radar units are available in two physical versions:

• With a "closed" radome antenna
• With a "beam" slot antenna
