Furuno DRS4D-NXT 24in Solid State Doppler Radar with 10m Cable and PG700 Compass

The NXT chapter in Radar technology

The Furuno DRS4D-NXT 24in Solid State Doppler Radar utilises Doppler technology to ensure the safest navigation. The NXT series features Target Analyzer, Fast Target Tracking and Auto Target Acquire function to offer optimal detection and sensitivity of hazardous objects. Combined with RezBoost technology, the DRS4D-NXT have no equal in spotting and tracking targets moving around your vessel efficiently with a high resolution.

Target Analyser function utilising Doppler technology spots hazardous targets instantly!
The DRS4D-NXT and the DRS6A-NXT are the first Radars in the world to use FURUNO's exclusive Target Analyser function. Targets that are approaching your vessel automatically change colour to help you identify potentially dangerous 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.

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 their 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.

The PG700 Compass
Furuno PG700 Integrated Heading Sensor is a fluxgate magnetic sensor with the enhanced stability of a solid-state rate gyroscope. Automatic magnetic field distortion correction provides highly accurate and stable readouts of your ship's heading. The sensor detects terrestrial magnetism and produces compass data to CAN bus devices. Typical applications include true radar echo trail and true motion, auto pilots, video plotters, scanning sonars and more. These sophisticated components are contained within a rugged, compact case. The supplied L-Bracket allows for flexible installation. Unique design elements make the PG700 virtually maintenance-free and easy to install.
