Raymarine Quantum 2 Chirp Radar with Doppler technology
FLIR announces is most advanced radar ever, the Raymarine Quantum 2 Chirp Radar, with Doppler technologyFLIR Systems has released its most advanced solid-state marine radar ever, the Raymarine Quantum 2 Chirp Radar with Doppler technology.
Designed for integrating with Raymarine’s award-winning Axiom multifunction displays, the Raymarine Quantum 2 Chirp Radar enhance boaters' situational awareness by intelligently identifying moving and static targets at both long and short ranges.
Using advanced doppler processing, the Raymarine Quantum 2 Chirp Radar is tuned specifically to detect the radar-echo frequency shift returned by moving versus stationary targets. Quantum 2 then colour codes moving targets to indicate whether they are getting closer (red) or moving away (green).
In addition, the Raymarine Quantum 2 Chirp Radar brings a new Safety Sector feature that highlights and colour codes any potentially dangerous static targets within 200 meters in front of the vessel, making it easier for captains to recognise immediate hazards to navigation.
MINI-AUTO RADAR PILOTING
FLIR says advanced users and professional captains will appreciate Raymarine Quantum 2 Chirp Radar's 25-target mini-automatic radar plotting aid (MARPA).
Developed originally for the United States Coast Guard, and other fast response craft, Raymarine Quantum 2 Chirp Radar;s MARPA feature is doppler-assisted, meaning inbound contacts can be acquired automatically by the radar display.
This eliminates the need to manually acquire targets or define guard zones, thus reducing the workload on captains and eases navigating congested waterways.
CHIRP RESOLUTION
The Raymarine Quantum 2 Chirp Radar also features CHIRP Pulse Compression technology using compressed radar pulses to display targets like boats, marine marks, landmarks, rocks, and weather cells with unsurpassed resolution and separation quality.
At only 5.6kg, the Raymarine Quantum 2 Chirp Radar weighs up to 50 per cent less than traditional magnetron radars.
The Raymarine Quantum 2 Chirp Radar's flexible design allows for Wi-Fi networking to Raymarine multifunction displays (MFDs) or via traditional wired configuration, making installation much easier and eliminating the need for additional radar cabling or interface boxes.
The Raymarine Quantum 2 Chirp Radar will be available worldwide in the second quarter of 2018 through Raymarine’s authorised network of dealers and retailers starting at $2895.00 RRP.
