EM230i Inflatable Passive Radar Reflector
 
Manufactured from DuPont metallized, lacquered and spunbonded fabric array within a PVC case. They deflate and fold for easy storage when not required. The EM230i can be hung from any regular or flag halyard via top and button mounting rings. They are a suitable addition to any grab bag for emergency use using the optional three piece fiberglass rod kit for dinghy or liferaft use. Available  as pictured or with a fluorescent green cover shown below.

Like the polyethelyne ridid reflectors, the EM230i inflatable reflector is based on a patented stacked symmetrical array. It utilizes the largest possible array made of Dupont metallized PVC sewn into an outer shell of radar transparent PVC under tight tolerance controls of +/- 15 degrees for maximum return. The patented stack design offers the most reflected radar surface area no matter the pitch and roll of the vessel. Echomax outperforms ALL other radar reflectors in real world conditions. Certified to perform to spec and in documented tests, they outperform the competition. The EM230i recorded an astonishing 17m² RCS (Radar Cross Secton) peak R which exceeds the RORC requirements by nearly two fold.

 Echomax A03i Inflatable specifically designed for liferaft deployment

The same Patented technology used in the EM230i is built into a round liferaft radar reflector for easy deployment under extreme conditions.  Inflatable radar detectors offer more radar reflecting surface, simple deployment and reduced abrasion. Most importantly, inflatable reflectors are more safely vacuum bagged into a liferaft then ones designed from rigid metal plates.
