Simrad R5000 radar systems are available in a range of configurations to meet the requirement for an IMO type-approved X-Band or S-Band radar system aboard CAT 1(H) and CAT 2(H) SOLAS vessels. A modular design makes it easy to create a single or multi-radar system for commercial vessels of any size and type.
X-Band radar delivers high-resolution coverage with optimal target separation. We offer type-approved X-Band radar solutions, including the HALO 5000, for use aboard CAT 1 and CAT 2 SOLAS vessels, including high speed craft (HSC). S-Band radar serves as a secondary system aboard SOLAS vessels of 3,000 GT and above, and offers superior target detection to X-Band radar in poor weather conditions such as rain or fog.
Our R5000 systems are designed for ease of use, and feature a modern interface with intuitive keypad and trackball controls or expanded control panel. Widescreen displays give operators constant access to key information, alerts, and settings without distracting from the central PPI. The same interface is used across our complete series of X-Band and S-Band solutions, offering a consistent experience for operators of multi-radar systems.
Each of the R5000 modular systems is based on the R5000 radar processor: a high performance ‘black-box’ system that connects to the radar transceiver via a thin and easy-to-route Ethernet cable. Multiple R5000 processors can be networked together to create multi-radar systems, and to provide access to radar from multiple stations. Any networked station can control any connected radar system, offering both flexibility and redundancy.
The first IMO-approved solid-state radar from Simrad the HALO® 5000 delivers enhanced situational awareness, lower cost of ownership, and total flexibility of installation.
With 130W of pulse compression power, HALO® 5000 can see as far as 48NM away. Intelligent Target Tracking allows the system to monitor thousands of targets, with up to 100 on-screen at any one time.
The smart new design of the HALO® radar makes it easier to fit, service, and maintain throughout its lifespan – regardless of the conditions in which you operate.
For the first time, HALO 5000 is available with both 4ft and 6ft antenna options, increasing the range of vessels it is suited to. Installation is made even easier by the simplified “plug-and-play” connectors, an antenna park hold, and the addition of an optional 65m cable.
HALO’s modular design integrates seamlessly with the Sirmad R5000 range, allowing the x-band sensor to slot easily into your existing system, with full IMO/SOLAS compliance. No overhaul required.
