Furuno DRS6ANXT 72nm, 25W Solid-State Doppler Radar Open Array without Antenna & Cable
The NXT chapter in Radar technology !
NXT radars are Solid-State Radars utilizing Doppler technology
to ensure the safest navigation. The NXT series features Target Analyzer™, Fast
Target Tracking™ and Auto Target Acquire function to offer optimal detection and
sensitivity of hazardous objects. Combined with RezBoost™ technology, the
DRS6A-NXT and DRS4D-NXT have no equal in spotting and tracking targets moving
around your vessel efficiently with a high resolution.
Features
Target Analyzer™ function utilizing Doppler technology spots hazardous
targets instantly!
The DRS4D-NXT and the DRS6A-NXT are the first Radars in the
world to use FURUNO's exclusive Target Analyzer™ function. Targets that are
approaching your vessel automatically change color to help you identify
potentially dangerous targets. Green echoes are targets that stay stationary, or
are moving away from you, while red echoes are hazardous targets that are moving
towards your vessel. Echoes dynamically change colors as targets approach, or
get farther away from your vessel. Target Analyzer™ improves situational
awareness and can increase safety by showing you which targets to look out for.

Fast Target Tracking™ and Auto Target Acquire function
 Approaching
vessel with target vector
With Fast Target Tracking™ activated, it only takes a few
seconds for a vector to be displayed once the target is selected, manually
or automatically with the Auto Target Acquire function.
When the Auto Target Acquire function
is on, approaching targets within 3NM range from own
ship, which are potentially hazardous, are automatically acquired by
Doppler calculation and will trigger an alarm*.
Together, Up to 100 targets can be acquired
simultaneously, increasing considerably the safety and simplifying
estimation of other vessel’s course and speed.

Bird Mode
 Bird
echoesActual scene
DRS6A-NXT and DRS4D-NXT feature a new Bird Mode that helps you identify
birds gathering around schools of fish at the sea surface. Bird mode adjusts
the gain and sea settings automatically for optimal visibility.
RezBoost™ beam sharpening
FURUNO's exclusive RezBoost™ technology has been
incorporated into our Radar units for enhanced resolution and impressive
performance. With RezBoost™ set to MAX, the sharpness offers an incredibly
detailed image with more targets and less clutter.
