VisionMaster FTDual Channel Radar Product Presentation
The Problem: Blind Arcs & Blanked Sectors • No radar or ARPA information from the blind arcs or blanked sectors • Poor situation awareness • Vulnerability • Typical cases • Rigs • Very Large Ships • Antipiracy
The Solution: VisionMaster FT Dual Channel Radar • Two independent asynchronous radars can be displayed on a single screen • Two independent VisionMaster FT radars can be controlled from a single screen • Seamless operator view from two radar heads • Targets seamlessly tracked across the two radars • Virtually no limit to the separation of the radar heads
Problem 1: Blind Area Forward Top radar visibility blocked by containers causes a blind area to appear on radar display Key Radar 1 = Radar 2 =
