Wärtsilä NACOS Platinum Radars

World’s first IP Radar solutions that you can simply plug, play and integrate directly into vessel control systems.

Overview

Backed by the proud heritage of more than 60 years of in-house Radar development and manufacturing, the RADARPILOT Platinum provides the Navigator with the right information at the right time to ensure safe voyage monitoring, collision avoidance and information management.

Part of the Platinum Family of integrated vessel control systems, the Platinum Radars are built on a common hardware and software architecture. Being the world’s first IP Radar, Platinum marine radar systems are directly connected to the Platinum Navigation System’s redundant Ethernet Backbone. This lean yet redundant architecture requires minimal installation and cable effort and ensures simple extension of existing System with additional Radars.

Our SOLAS compliant Radars are available for S-Band and X-Band frequencies, with flexible antenna sizes and a solid state transceiver option for the S-Band frequency.

The NACOS Platinum Solid State S-Band Radar is a next generation marine radar system using a stabilized high power solid state transceiver. It utilizes advanced signal processing technology and comes with a 14ft antenna. The major advantages for customers are the added safety provided through optimized target detection under all environmental conditions, increased reliability and reduced lifecycle costs as a result of drastically reduced maintenance.

The Platinum S-Band Radar is fully compatible without mechanical adoption as a replacement for our Magnetron based S-Band Radars.
