Furuno DRS12A-NXT 100W 6ft Solid State Open Array Radar
NXT radars are Solid-State Radars utilizing 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 NXT Radars have no equal in spotting and tracking targets moving around your vessel efficiently with a high resolution.
Note: Does not include Scanner Cable
- Vertical Beam Width: 22°
- Horizontal Beam Width / Rezboost: 1.9°/0.95°
- Antenna Rotation Speed: 24 / 36 / 48 rpm range coupled or 24rpm fixed.
- Output Power: 100W
- Power Supply: 24VDC, 5A Max
The NXT series are the first Radars in the world to use FURUNO's exclusive Target Analyzer function. Targets that are approaching your vessel automatically change color 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 colors as targets approach, or get farther away from your vessel. Target Analyzer improves situational awareness and can increase safety by showing you which targets to look out for.
Rain mode
When the “Rain mode” is on, rain echoes are shown in blue. This mode is particularly useful as it has the capability to detect targets masked by rain clutters.
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. (TCPA setting required)
Together, Up to 100 targets can be acquired simultaneously, increasing considerably the safety and simplifying estimation of other vessel’s course and speed.
Bird Mode
NXT Radars feature a new Bird Mode that helps you identify birds gathering around schools of fish at the sea surface. Bird mode adjusts the gain and sea settings automatically for optimal visibility.
RezBoost beam sharpening
FURUNO's exclusive RezBoost technology has been incorporated into our 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.
