 |
Active-X and XS Radar Target Enhancer amplifies and returns an amplified response when excited by incoming radar signals. This grealy increases your vessel's RCS, radar cross section, and the likelihood of alerting oncoming vessels of your position, especially in poor conditions. Active-X reduces the risk of surprise or collision. The streamlined reflector is only 27 inches high and 1.6 inches in diameter allowing for flexible installation on all sorts and sizes of vessels.
Active-X is typically used for coastal waters where ships run their X band radar only.
Active-XS picks up both X band and offshore S band radar for more complete protection.
The package includes an onboard alarm control box that indicates to the operator their vessel is a radar target. An alarm condition triggers both internal and external visual and audible alarms. This is available as a standard surface mounted box, flushmount, or waterproof configuration for extreme conditions.
