One of the biggest strengths of Furuno Marine Radar is its availability in both X-Band and S-Band configurations, allowing shipowners to select the most suitable radar system based on vessel type and operational requirements.
Most SOLAS vessels are equipped with both radar bands to ensure safe navigation under all weather conditions.
Furuno X-Band radar operates at approximately 9 GHz, providing exceptional target resolution and accurate detection of small objects.
Typical applications include:
Advantages include:
S-Band radar operates around 3 GHz and is designed for reliable operation during adverse weather conditions.
Its major advantages include:
Large merchant vessels, LNG carriers, tankers, and passenger ships commonly install S-Band radar as their primary long-range navigation radar.
The display unit is the primary operator interface of the radar system. Furuno has continuously improved display technology from early LCD systems to the latest high-resolution widescreen bridge displays.
Modern Furuno radar displays provide:
Designed for continuous marine operation, these displays offer excellent visibility in both daylight and night-time bridge environments.
The scanner unit is mounted on the vessel's mast and performs the transmission and reception of radar signals.
Main scanner components include:
Smooth scanner rotation is essential for accurate target detection and reliable ARPA performance.
The signal processor converts raw microwave echoes into a clear radar picture by performing advanced digital processing.
Its functions include:
Modern Furuno processors deliver faster response times and improved target separation, particularly in congested waterways.
ARPA is one of the most valuable features in Furuno Marine Radar systems.
Its capabilities include:
ARPA significantly improves bridge situational awareness and assists officers in complying with the COLREGs during collision avoidance.
Modern Furuno radar systems integrate seamlessly with the vessel's Automatic Identification System (AIS), enabling radar echoes and AIS information to be displayed simultaneously.
