Product catalog summary
Overview: The RadaScan is a premium long-range, high-precision radar sensor designed for marine Dynamic Positioning (DP) applications. It is suitable for various offshore applications, including coast guard support, polar research supply, and ultra-deep water anchor handling.
Specifications: The RadaScan operates up to 1000m, with a full 360° scanning capability and high precision. It functions in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +55°C and is unaffected by adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, and fog. The sensor uses Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology within the 9.2 to 9.3 GHz frequency band, with a maximum power output of 3W.
Unique Features: The system provides high positional accuracy, operates independently of GPS/DGPS signals, and supports multi-vessel operations. It is compatible with all modern DP systems and allows for easy upgrades via USB or remote access. All targets are certified as intrinsically safe for hazardous environments.
System Components: The RadaScan system comprises three main components: the RadaScan Sensor, uniquely coded responders, and the RadaScan Dashboard software. The dashboard offers a user-friendly interface for DP operators, ensuring safe and effective use.
Applications: The RadaScan is used in critical DP operations, providing benefits such as 360-degree coverage and automatic multi-target detection. It is trusted by operators for its reliability and ease of use in various conditions.
International Support: Guidance Marine has established a global support network with authorized service partners, providing comprehensive technical training and support. Service centers are located in the USA and Singapore.
Compliance and Standards: The RadaScan complies with various standards, including EN 60945, EN301 843-1, and ITU-R Recommendation RM. 1177. It is CE certified and FCC approved, with IP66 certification for water and dust protection.
Physical Specifications: The sensor has a diameter of 1.2m, a height of 0.9m, and weighs 115kg. The system's flight case dimensions are 1330 x 1330 x 1100mm, with a total weight of 212kg including accessories.

RadaScan Brochure-3

RadaScan is an established microwave sensor and is typically used for the most critical type of DP operations. RadaScan works in the same manner as Mini RadaScan and is fully compatible with all Guidance responders. The example of a complex operation shows the benefits of the 360 degree RadaScan sensor coverage, automatic multi- target detection, and the need for a "hands-free" operation. The shuttle tanker and offshore supply vessels have a RadaScan, or Mini RadaScan sensors fitted. Two responders are placed at strategic locations on the FPSO. Both the Tanker and OSV can, independently, use...
