Responders

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses the use of RadaScan and miniRadaScan sensors with intelligent microwave radar targets known as responders. These sensors measure range and bearing to calculate relative position and heading, using unique digital ID codes for robust detection. Multiple vessel sensors can share responders, enhancing operational flexibility.
Key Features:
  • Compatibility with RadaScan and miniRadaScan
  • All-weather operation
  • Unique coded ID for auto target detection
  • Options for mains and battery power
  • ATEX and UL certification for intrinsic safety
  • Various mounting options
Applications:
  • Fixed structures: Platform and offshore supply, accommodation barges, crew boat station-keeping, multi-purpose supply vessels, heavy lift activities, dive and ROV support, semi-sub operations
  • Mobile structures: Track and ship-follow, shuttle tanker loading, pipe and cable laying, rock dumping, replenishment at sea
Responder Details: Responders modulate radar signals using four frequencies (Red, Yellow, Green, Blue) to overcome spatial separation issues. Power options include mains powered, primary cell, and rechargeable battery packs. All variants are UL and ATEX certified for hazardous environments.
Mounting Options:
  • Snappy bracket (fixed) for long-term installations
  • Snappy bracket (removable) for temporary installations
  • Swivel bracket (fixed) for maximum flexibility
Guidance Navigation Limited provides additional components like intrinsically safe cables and external mains PSUs.

The sensor accurately measures the range and bearing to the reference responder(s) to allow the calculation of relative position and heading. Responders add a unique digital ID code ensuring robust detection. Multiple vessel sensors can use the same responder(s) giving true operational flexibility. Responders are available with different power options. Key Features Applications • RadaScan and miniRadaScan compatible • All weather operation • Unique coded ID • Auto target detection • Mains powered option • Various battery powered options Responders are suitable for applications which use fixed structures such as: • ATEX and UL certified • Intrinsically safe (IS) • Various mounting options • Platform and Offshore supply Responders are also suitable for applications with mobile structures such as: • Accommodation barges • Track and ship-follow • Crew boat station-keeping • Shuttle tanker loading • Multi-purpose supply vessel • Pipe and cable laying • Heavy lift activities • Rock dumping • Dive and ROV support • Replenishment at sea • Semi-sub operations

Radar Targets Redesign bro:. 15/10/2012 17:35 Page 2 R A D A R P O S I T I O N I N G TA R G E T S Responders Responders modulate the radar signal using one of four different frequencies. These are characterised as colours (Red, Yellow, Green and Blue), representing their position in the frequency spectrum. Using multiple coloured responders overcomes the problems of spatial separations required by other systems. Responder power options include an externally mains powered variant and a primary cell variant for fixed installation, or with self-contained rechargeable battery packs for temporary...
