A chart overlay kit for the FR-12 radar is a system that places the radar image directly on your digital navigation chart, allowing you to see the radar echoes along with your position and detailed chart information. It works by "laying" the radar echoes on a digital chart (such as MapMedia MM3D charts), simplifying navigation in challenging conditions and improving visibility by displaying both radar and chart objects in a single view.
NAVIGATE SAFELY BY IDENTIFYING RISKS
Only possible on the FR-12 radar-display can be paired with Furuno’s versatile DRS Series antennas, allowing flexible configurations for a wide range of applications. These radars integrate advanced functions such as Risk Visualizer™, Echo Average, Target Analyzer™, and more. With these features, you can efficiently track and assess targets, customize AIS settings, and benefit from multilingual support to ensure safe and precise navigation.
COMPATIBLE WITH FURUNO’S POWERFUL ANTENNA LINE-UP
The FR-10 and FR-12 radar displays can be combined with a wide selection of DRS Series antennas, offering flexible setup options. By choosing the desired detection range, screen size, antenna type and size, you can create a radar system that matches your specific requirements.
Compatibility:
– DRS4DL+, DRS4DL X-Class (V 01.03)
– DRS6A/12A/25A X-Class (V 02.06)
– DRS2D/4D-NXT(E) (V 01.07)
– DRS6A/12A/25A-NXT(E) (V 01.06)
RISK VISUALIZER™
Risk Visualizer™ displays potential collision areas based on the position and movement of surrounding vessels. The on-screen view provides a fast and clear overview of the traffic situation around your vessel. Color-coded alerts, ranging from green for normal to red for hazardous, indicate the risk level so you can act accordingly. This is the first commercial mid-range radar from Furuno to include this feature, enhancing safety at sea.
FAST TARGET TRACKING™
Fast Target Tracking™ instantly shows a vector that indicates the speed and course of a detected target. Targets are tracked automatically from the moment they appear, allowing the system to quickly calculate their trajectory and display their movement as a velocity vector.
TARGET ANALYZER™
Target Analyzer™ evaluates detected targets and highlights those that pose a potential collision risk. By using color coding to indicate the level of danger, it makes it easy for operators to identify hazardous targets at a glance and take quick action to ensure safe navigation.
ECHO AVERAGE
Echo Average reduces irregular echoes caused by sea surface reflections, rain, and other disturbances. By smoothing these signals, it stabilizes the display of echoes from vessels, fishing gear, and other important targets, making them clearer and easier to see even in rough weather, heavy rain, or fog.
RADAR OVERLAY ON CHARTS / SHARE POINTS AND LINES
The FR-12 allows Radar echoes to be displayed directly on MapMedia MM3D charts. When connected via Ethernet to a GP-3700/F*, the system can also display shared marks and lines for better situational awareness.
