NAVIGATION RADAR MANTADIGITAL™ RADAR SYSTEMS Kelvin Hughes offers a range of radar systems. From the state of the art SharpEye™ solid state technology to conventional magnetron transceivers, all with our innovative multifunction MantaDigital™ displays and low proile antennas. Variants include: 10kW and 25kW in X band frequency, 30kW magnetron and SharpEye™ 200W solid state transceiver in S band frequency. DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY The MantaDigital™ multifunction navigation workstation provides radar, chart radar, ECDIS and Conning functionality in a single station. The different Type Approved modes can all be displayed with a simple ‘point and click’ at the relevant screen icon. Key features include dual PPI, ETD (Enhanced Target Detection), ice detection, chart radar, dynamic clutter suppression, vessel predictor and radar overlay. ENHANCED TARGET DETECTION ETD signiicantly enhances the display of all targets without interfering with the normal radar appearance or operation. This is achieved by correlating returns over a long period of time and then allocating colour shades depending on the persistency of a return and using different colours for stationary and moving targets. When combined with the dual PPI, the operator can continue using the radar in the normal way with the addition of an advanced detection view on the secondary PPI. ETD is of great beneit in ice or for detecting loating debris and small boats. DUAL PPI The modern radar display risks becoming cluttered with information such as from ARPA symbology, Trails, AIS and Chart data. When looking for small intermittent contacts, this is not ideal and so we have introduced a second PPI screen. This allows the navigator to beneit from the data while still being able to keep a clear screen for small target searches. The second screen can be conigured independently of the irst and so, for example, trails can be set to True on one and Relative on the other, giving the Navigator a better and instant visual appreciation of the risk of collision and course and speed of other vessels. SHARPEYE™ SOLID STATE TECHNOLOGY No magnetron equals no routine maintenance, ultra high reliability, and low cost of ownership. Despite the low (200W) peak power, the detection performance, especially in poor weather conditions, is superior to that of magnetron radars. Radar performance also beneits from the transceiver being positioned upmast, thereby minimising signal loss in the waveguide while also simplifying installation. The high reliability and lack of routine maintenance means the need to subsequently access the transceiver is almost removed. ANTENNA AND TURNING UNITS Antennas available are 1.3m, 1.9m and 2.5m in X band frequency and 3.9m in S band frequency, and are all of the patented low proile design to reduce wind loading and increase in-service life. The antennas use the polyrod lens principle that allows a reduced vertical dimension enabling a signiicantly lighter and low proile design that reduces the stress on the motor and gearbox.
