Master the Elements

The Clear Advantages of SIMRAD Broadband Radar

Introducing a revolutionary radar system unlike anything else on the recreational boating market. Utilising solid-state technology, these breakthrough radar solutions provide superior target detection and separation, ease of operation, and a new level of navigational safety to a wide range of boats.

Crystal clear imagery
Miss none of your immediate surroundings.
Fantastic for tight manoeuvres in marinas or in
conditions of limited visibility.

InstantOn™
Solid-state technology produces an immediate,
accurate on-screen image.

Low power consumption
Broadband Radar™ requires very little power:
ideal for all types and size of recreational boat.

Extremely low emissions
This safest of all radar, it can be mounted
anywhere! Broadband Radar™ has fewer
emissions than a mobile phone

Quick installation
No reason to open the dome, no tune or zero
mile adjustment, and best of all – no radarlicensed
technician required.

Automatic clarity
Proven Auto Harbour and Off shore modes
completely optimise the radar image – even on
our shortest range of 200 feet. Just steer.

Interference rejection


Broadband Radar automatically tunes out interference that may come from other radars operating in the vicinity. Multiple levels of interference rejection remove all noise depending on whether you are in a busy commercial harbour , shipping lanes or just out fishing with another boat. The special IR software will remove other radar noise; yet still maintain a perfect radar picture around the boat. Simple to use and the results are impressive.

All weather performance

In bad weather, when visibility is low, that is when you will want to rely on your radar.

In a rain shower or snow the radar signal will penetrate and show you the radar picture you expect to see. The Rain Clutter feature on the radar reduces noise on the picture associated with rain, yet still provides you with a clean picture of the radar targets around you.

Close Range Performance

Enhance your situational awareness thanks to Broadband Radar with chart overlay. Radar Chart overlay is the perfect way to determine what are fixed targets and what could be moving targets such as ships.

Even at night or in fog or mist, by using Broadband 3G™ Radar and Broadband 4G™ Radar it is possible to vastly improve safe navigation in restricted conditions at close range.

crowded and challenging to navigate through without
the aid of radar

"A lot safer…"

Channel markers are easily associated to visible surroundings

At 200ft away from the boat on the port side are a series of very small channel marker fl oats, these are clearly visible, yet are made of plastic and are probably only 6 inches above the water.

The skipper of the boat who is used to this harbour says that at night being able to see these markers will make coming into this harbour a lot safer.

 

 

See what you need to see, when you need to see it

Broadband 4G Radar clearly sees both inside and outside rows of poles
Only possible at this range as Broadband Radar has no main pulse suppression that a conventional radar suffers from. Possible to see targets close together and yet they are clearly shown as separate targets.  
 
Broadband 3G Radar sees breakwater to port, with three mooring buoys close in
The Broadband Radar is able to separate targets that are close together much clearer than a conventional radar, here we see the three buoys clearly visible close to the breakwater.  
 
Left turn complete, moving along a row of boats
In narrow harbours it is possible to use Broadband Radar to find your berth. Often harbours have confusing background lights that can make a night harbour entrance seem overwhelming. The radar at this scale makes it all very clear.  
 
Vacant berths in a marina are easily identified
At short ranges Broadband Radar shows up the individual yachts in their berths, ideal at night when visibility may be compromised. In this type of situation conventional radar would only show a merged target possibly obscured by the main pulse.
