Know before you buy
The 60 RPM rotation provides real-time situational awareness by updating the radar image significantly faster than standard antennas. This is particularly useful for tracking fast-moving targets or navigating in high-traffic areas where split-second decisions are necessary.
Doppler technology automatically color-codes targets based on their movement relative to your vessel. It highlights incoming targets in red and outgoing targets in green, allowing you to instantly identify potential collision risks without manual calculation.
Yes, the Cyclone features a low-profile pedestal design specifically engineered for flexible installation. Its compact footprint makes it easier to mount on vessels where vertical space is restricted, without sacrificing performance.
Absolutely. The radar is built to withstand extreme wind conditions up to 100 knots and carries an IPX6 rating for water ingress protection. It is designed to maintain operational integrity in harsh marine environments.
Unlike traditional magnetron radars, solid-state CHIRP technology provides superior target separation and long-range clarity. It also allows for near-instant startup times and improved energy efficiency, while reducing the need for frequent maintenance.
The professional-grade ARPA (Automatic Radar Plotting Aid) system can track up to 50 targets at once. This provides comprehensive monitoring of surrounding vessels, which is essential for safe navigation in busy shipping lanes.
