Simrad HALO 2006 Radar w/6 Open Array & 20M Cable

Description

The Simrad HALO 2006 open array radar maximizes navigation tracking safety when commercial vessels navigate high-speed offshore routes. Severe ocean squalls and heavy clutter regularly hide small targets, generating immediate situational blind spots. Installing this high power solid state radar delivers ultra-fast scanning data, ensuring operators maintain complete pulse compression radar tracking control during rough sea transit maneuvers.

This high power solid state radar utilizes an elite 50W pulse compression transmitter assembly. Unlike legacy magnetron systems that wear down over time, this commercial open array radar system delivers clean target resolution up to a massive 72 nautical mile range. The cast pedestal achieves an IPX6 waterproofing standard, fully isolating interior wiring terminals from high pressure spray during high-speed deck transit operations over open waters.

Key Features of Simrad HALO 2006

• The advanced VelocityTrack™ Doppler technology provides instant color-coded target tracking visibility. This smart configuration distinguishes between inbound hazards and outbound targets automatically for enhanced bridge safety.
• The high-speed rotation scanner module provides rapid situational updates. This automatic motor mechanism enables fast scanning up to 60 RPM, delivering immediate tracking accuracy during high-speed hull pounding.
• Features an optimized 1.2-degree horizontal beamwidth running on a robust 50 Watts solid-state transmitter core. This layout balances aerodynamic efficiency and long-range propagation up to 72 nautical miles easily.
• Fully integrated with an Advanced Bird Mode clutter optimization tool, enabling offshore sportfishers to cleanly track pelagic bird flocks and trace active game fish feeding zones across open oceans.

Why Choose This Radar over Generic Alternatives

Choosing the premium Simrad HALO 2006 open array radar system is essential for optimizing long-range vessel network layers. Unlike low-power closed domes that lose small targets in heavy clutter, this high-performance system features a massive 6ft open array. It perfectly coordinates target positions across standard marine bridges via VelocityTrack Doppler tracking, advanced Bird Mode, and dual-range processing loops safely.

Application & Limitations

This solid state radar delivers exceptional target identification performance on deep-sea commercial fishing fleets, mega yachts, and coastal charter craft over 40 feet. However, because its pedestal and 6ft array bar generate a combined weight load of 64 lbs, it cannot mount onto thin unreinforced radar arches safely. Additionally, its transmitter draws a max 65W, requiring a stable DC electrical network structure.
