Lightweight Simrad HALO24 revolutionises dome radars

ANNOUNCING the Simrad HALO24, an innovation in pulse compression radar.

HALO24 combines the performance and reliability of Simrad’s award-winning radars with the advantages of innovative technology, a new profile and lightweight design. Boasting 60rpm high-speed rotation at distances up to two nautical miles, an industry first, the Simrad HALO24 dome radar allows for increased safety and improved performance.

The extremely fast refresh rate is excellent for high-speed and short-range tracking, particularly useful for search and rescue and law enforcement vessels. Offering high-quality short, mid and long-range detection capability, up to 48 nautical miles, HALO24 is designed to process multiple ranges simultaneously for advanced, instantaneous dual-range performance.

In addition, the radar features Simrad VelocityTrack Doppler technology that provides instant visual feedback on the motion of radar targets in relation to the boat – colour-coding approaching vessels for high visibility while de-emphasising diverging targets, as well as MARPA functionality, increasing situational awareness and decreasing the risk of collision.

Navico Group CEO Leif Ottosson said, “The HALO24 dome radar was designed with the latest innovations in radar technology.” “With our products, it’s vital we offer something no one else has – with the HALO24 boaters will get unparalleled radar speeds, an easy user experience with multiple viewing modes, and an advanced feeling of safety with all potential hazards visible on screen.”

The lightest 24” Pulse Compression radar dome on the market, the low-profile Halo dome offers different power level options, ensuring high-speed radar coverage when and where it is needed. In a matter of seconds, the radar will boot from low-power standby to full functionality in any mode – harbour, offshore, weather and bird.

Incredibly easy to use, the radar will optimise up to 18 different parameters for each pre-defined mode, ensuring the ultimate view. The new Simrad HALO24 pulse compression dome radar is priced at $3599 and currently available from authorised dealers in the US and Canada, with Australian distribution to follow.

An Ethernet-connected Simrad multifunction display or radar control unit is required for operation, and a heading sensor and GPS receiver are required for MARPA target tracking.
