Simrad Yachting launches 3G radar

Simrad Yachting has revealed the development of its next-generation, solid-state Broadband 3G Radar. The new radar delivers twice the RF transmit power than previous incarnations and 30 per cent more range and target detection, allowing the operator to see objects at far greater distances.

The Broadband 3G Radar features a number of Simrad signatures, including target definition and separation of objects at close quarters. The Broadband 3G Radar offers  detailed views of surroundings at a range-scale down to 1/32 nautical miles, and marks objects within 2m of the boat. Incredibly safe, the new radar transmits 1/10,000 the power of traditional pulse radar – less than 1/5 the energy of a mobile phone – making it safe to install just about anywhere on a boat.


Other features include clutter rejection, eliminating the need for tuning, and ‘InstantOn’ which activates the radar instantly from standby. This feature reflects its relatively low rate of power consumption, compared to other systems on the market.

Broadband 3G Radar supports chart overlay, display networking, MARPA and True Motion Rader Display to distinguish moving vessels from fixed objects or landmasses.

“Broadband 3G Radar represents our driven commitment to introduce innovative marine electronics that offer meaningful benefits to boaters,” said Louis Chemi, Chief Operating Officer of Navico Americas. “We upgraded our award-winning Broadband Radar technology – which already offers best-in-class safety, convenience and short-range capability – and expanded its performance features for even more powerful on-the-water awareness. When released, Broadband 3G will be the most revolutionary radar system available, and we’re offering it at an affordable price point to make it accessible for all boaters.”
