Simrad Halo 6 Pulse Compression Radar
Description
The Simrad Halo 6 is a complete open array pulse compression radar system combining a solid-state 25 W pedestal with a 6 ft antenna and the RI-12 interface module. The full-length 6 ft array delivers an ultra-narrow 1.2 degree horizontal beam (sharpening to 0.8 degrees) for the best target discrimination in the range, and an instrumented range of up to 72 nautical miles.
Solid-state design removes the magnetron, brings the system to transmit in 16 to 25 seconds from power-on and avoids long-term power degradation, while low-power pulsed transmissions make it safe in harbours and marinas. Antenna rotation is software-controlled at approximately 24 to 48 rpm, and the supplied RI-12 module brings NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 navigation data into the radar. Built to IEC60945 with IPX6 weatherproofing, the Halo 6 connects over Ethernet to compatible Simrad displays.
