Furuno
Furuno has been at the vanguard of marine technology since its inception in 1948, when the company commercialized the world’s fi rst fi sh fi nder. With service centers and authorized distributors worldwide, Furuno continues its role as a leader in marine electronics with the innovation of new technologies.
The NXT line of Solid-State Radars is among the more exciting evolutions in marine technology today. Furuno’s decades of Radar innovation have cumulated in a new lineup of radar products for ships of any size that are powerful, precise, and easy-to-use. No other manufacturer offers a Solid-State IMO Radar in both S-Band and X-Band confi gurations for SOLAS vessels, making the NXT series truly a class unto itself. Incredible target detection at all ranges combined with Furuno’s superior signal processing techniques to deliver a radar presentation that is clean and uncluttered with minimal need for adjustment. With a single button press, the ACE (Automatic Clutter Elimination) function can activate, automatically adjusting fi lter and gain controls according to sea and weather conditions to provide the very best radar presentation. Furuno’s Fast Target Tracking (FTT) acquires targets and immediately displays a speed and course vector, with the information becoming available in mere seconds. FTT gives navigators more time to assess the situation with accurate, reliable information, and make a decision to take action, avoiding incidents at a very early stage. NXT’s new InstantAccess bar gives the operator immediate access to the tools they need to quickly and effi - ciently perform tasks. With a new, brushless motor and no magnetron to replace, the NXT Solid-State Radars require far less maintenance and over time, saving thousands of dollars and hours of downtime over the life of the radar.
