Premium long range, high precision radar sensor • Operating range up to 1000m • All weather operation • Auto target detection • Full 360° scanning • High precision capability • 500m+ DP capability • Extreme low temperature -40°C variant RadaScan is an advanced premium position reference sensor for long range use in marine Dynamic Positioning (DP) applications. RadaScan accurately measures the range and bearing of one or more intelligent microwave targets called responders, allowing for the calculation of vessel position and heading. Applications RadaScan is suitable for all traditional offshore applications which use fixed and mobile structures along with niche vessels such as: • Coast guard support • Polar research supply • Semi-submersibles • Well intervention vessels • Ultra deep water anchor handling • Shuttle tankers Delivering the future in dynamic positioning with consistently accurate products.

The RadaScan System The RadaScan system has three main components: RadaScan Responders One or more uniquely coded responders allow for safe and reliable tracking are mounted on the fixed platform or mobile structure RadaScan Sensor that is installed on a vessel equipped with a DP system RadaScan Dashboard software is used by the DP operator to control the RadaScan Sensor. It runs on a marine computer installed on the vessel’s bridge 1 Unique Features • Provides the highest positional accuracy usually associated with higher precision DGPS • Operates through rain, snow, fog, steam and dust in...

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,...
