Simrad BR24PC - Broadband Radar Software Development Kit (SDK)

Simrad BR24PC SDK gives OEM developers the ability to integrate the award-winning Simrad Broadband Radar with a broad range of on-land and marine applications.

Exceptional clarity and resolution
Returns from down to just two metres from scanner
Ultra low emissions make it completely safe
Low power consumption
Automatic tuning
Range up to 20nm, depending on location and relief
InstantOn - Radar ready to operate in seconds
Very Low Noise Signature and Random Frequency Hopping - Not traceable through standard pulse radar tracking systems

Users can then receive and manipulate Simrad Broadband Radar data on a PC Windows platform without the need for a Simrad display.

DETECT | LOCATE | PROTECT

Security, surveillance, close quarter manoeuvring

The software development kit opens up the use of Simrad Broadband Radar to a wide range of new customers who can take advantage of its high definition, close range capabilities and low emissions. In particular it is ideal for monitoring movement on or near secure sites and perimeters, and other potential uses include:

Surveillance - Border/perimeter and close range intrusion protection with high speed updating. Can be integrated with cameras and night vision equipment. Ideal for unlit areas and open space around buildings.

Commercial - Aquaculture and fish farm monitoring, Harbour Watch assistance, secondary oil rig vessel docking, airport bird and waterfowl detection systems.

Military - Government and defence agencies, dedicated watch and alarm radars, submarine pods, vehicle/personnel monitoring with custom geographic/mapping overlays.

Marine – Integration of PC navigation programs into ECDIS/Bridge systems, river radar custom applications, on board robotic and unmanned vessels, vessels at anchor.
