Using the latest in radar technology, it offers improved detection and tracking of targets, making it an ideal choice for vessels in need of reliable, real-time situational awareness.
Key Features:
Solid-State Radar Technology
The DRS NXT employs advanced solid-state radar technology that eliminates the need for traditional magnetron tubes, providing increased reliability and reduced maintenance.
Target Analyzer™
This feature color-codes radar echoes to differentiate between moving and stationary targets. It helps operators easily identify potential hazards by marking approaching vessels in red and receding or stationary targets in green.
Fast Target Tracking™
The system can track up to 100 targets simultaneously, providing real-time vectors and alerts for vessels that are approaching or in close proximity, improving collision avoidance.
RezBoost™ Beam Sharpening
RezBoost™ technology enhances the radar image resolution, offering clearer and more detailed visuals. This makes it easier to detect nearby objects and targets with greater precision.
Bird Mode
Bird Mode optimizes the radar’s sensitivity for detecting birds, which is especially useful for locating fishing spots and improving the overall fishing experience.
Instant Operation
Unlike traditional radar systems that require warm-up time, the DRS NXT operates instantly, ensuring that the vessel is ready for action at a moment’s notice.
Low Power Consumption
The radar is designed to be energy-efficient, consuming minimal power while delivering optimal performance. This makes it ideal for a wide range of vessels, including smaller and more energy-conscious ones.
Easy Installation
The DRS NXT is designed for easy installation, with no need to open the radome or set up an external power supply unit (PSU), streamlining the setup process.
