Simrad HALO 3006 Radar w/6 Open Array & 20M Cable

Description

The Simrad HALO 3006 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 130W 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 96 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 3006

• 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 ultra-narrow 1.2-degree horizontal beamwidth running on a massive 130 Watts solid-state transmitter. This layout achieves elite target separation and long-range propagation up to 96 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

Upgrading to this specialized open array radar is essential for locating remote targets at extreme distances. Unlike lower-tier hardware packages that introduce target blur, this high power solid state radar integrates an ultra-narrow 1.2-degree beamwidth. It perfectly tracks multiple targets simultaneously across a 96 nautical mile range, ensuring commercial fleets eliminate unexpected navigation drops across busy shipping routes safely via bundled 20M cables.

Application & Limitations

This solid state radar delivers exceptional performance on deep-sea commercial fishing fleets, mega yachts, and large coastal charter craft over 40 feet. However, because its rugged pedestal and 6ft array bar generate a combined weight load of 64 lbs, it cannot mount onto thin unreinforced radar arches. Additionally, its maximum active processing draw consumes 100W, requiring a high-capacity 12V/24V DC battery line setup during extended offline operations.
