Wärtsilä ANCS, part of Wärtsilä, has introduced the NACOS Platinum Solid State X-Band Radar, a new radar system designed to improve maritime navigation safety and reliability.
The device reportedly uses solid-state transceiver technology and has a small housing and gearbox, eliminating the need for conventional magnetrons. This design guarantees that vessel operators have low maintenance and lifespan costs while maintaining performance.
The NACOS Platinum Solid State X-Band Radar provides target detection in all environmental situations, target tracking with separate signal processing and adaptive pulse transmission for increased danger recognition.
