Furuno DRS6A-NXT XN12A Open Array X-Class Radar Sensor 4ft

Enhanced analytics and improved detection to keep your journey
safe

The Furuno DRS6A-NXT XN12A Open Array X-Class Radar
Sensor is the first radar in the world to use Furuno’s
exclusive Target Analyser function. Targets are approaching your
vessel automatically change colour to help you identify potential
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. Additionally, when the
rain mode is activated, rain echoes are shown in blue. This mode is
particularly useful as it has the capability to detect targets
masked by rain clutters.

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
our 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.

Bird Mode
DRS6A-NXT features a new Bird Mode that helps you identify birds
gathering around schools of fish at the sea surface. The Bird Mode
adjusts the gain and sea settings automatically for optimal
visibility.
