Furuno DRS4D-NXT 24in Solid State Doppler Radar With 10m Cable And PG700 Compass

The NXT chapter in Radar technology

The Furuno DRS4D-NXT 24in Solid State Doppler
Radar utilises Doppler technology to ensure the safest
navigation. The NXT series features Target Analyzer, Fast Target
Tracking and Auto Target Acquire function to offer optimal
detection and sensitivity of hazardous objects. Combined with
RezBoost technology, the DRS4D-NXT have no equal in spotting and
tracking targets moving around your vessel efficiently with a high
resolution.

Target Analyser function utilising Doppler technology spots
hazardous targets instantly!
The DRS4D-NXT and the DRS6A-NXT are the first Radars in the world
to use FURUNO’s exclusive Target Analyser function. Targets that
are approaching your vessel automatically change colour to help you
identify potentially dangerous targets. Green echoes are targets
that stay stationary, or are moving away from you, while red echoes
are hazardous targets that are moving towards your vessel. Echoes
dynamically change colours as targets approach, or get farther away
from your vessel. Target Analyser improves situational awareness
and can increase safety by showing you which targets to look out
for.

Fast Target Tracking and Auto Target Acquire function
With Fast Target Tracking activated, it only takes a few seconds
for a vector to be displayed once the target is selected, manually
or automatically with the Auto Target Acquire function. When the
Auto Target Acquire function is on, approaching targets within 3NM
range from own ship, which are potentially hazardous, are
automatically acquired by Doppler calculation and will trigger an
alarm. Together, Up to 100 targets can be acquired simultaneously,
increasing considerably the safety and simplifying estimation of
other vessel’s course and speed.

RezBoost beam sharpening
Furuno’s exclusive RezBoost technology has been incorporated into
their Radar units for enhanced resolution and impressive
performance. With RezBoost set to MAX, the sharpness offers an
incredibly detailed image with more targets and less clutter.

The PG700 Compass
Furuno PG700 Integrated Heading Sensor is a
fluxgate magnetic sensor with the enhanced stability of a
solid-state rate gyroscope. Automatic magnetic field distortion
correction provides highly accurate and stable readouts of your
ship’s heading. The sensor detects terrestrial magnetism and
produces compass data to CAN bus devices. Typical applications
include true radar echo trail and true motion, auto pilots, video
plotters, scanning sonars and more. These sophisticated components
are contained within a rugged, compact case. The supplied L-Bracket
allows for flexible installation. Unique design elements make the
PG700 virtually maintenance-free and easy to install.
