FULLY INTEGRATED ARPA RADAR

K-Bridge ARPA radar is our latest series of type approved ARPA radars. It is provided as a stand alone ARPA radar or as a fully integrated part of the K-Bridge integrated navigation system. It provides superior target tracking and has advanced navigation integration with multi-sensor input. K-Bridge can include electronic chart functions and automatic navigation and track steering when part of a K-Bridge integrated bridge system. The colour display presents a square radar picture, which gives an increased active radar display area for better traffic surveillance. A dedicated operator panel gives ease of operation.

FEATURES

• Radar display can be either a dedicated radar console or multi-functional display unit, switchable between Radar, ECDIS and Conning.
• Square radar picture which means a 27% larger radar coverage on the screen.
• 26” flat panel colour display (TFT).
• Dedicated operator panel for ease of operation.
• Digital transmission of radar signals (GigE) for minimum signal loss Manual and automatic radar target acquisition and tracking.
• Charts displayed as underlay to the radar video.
• Instant update of trails (afterglow) when adjusting clutter settings.
• Trails maintained after a reset of the screen centre and after changes of range scale.
• Gyro-stabilized head-up presentation mode making True trails available on a head-up display.
• Manual and automatic clutter reduction with instant response in the radar picture.
• Relief background for improved detection of moving or weak targets.
• Echo stretch.
• Integrated handling of the navigation sensors, providing the best set of own-ship data (position, course and speed).
• Presentation of targets from AIS.
• Target speed up to 100 knots relative.
• Eleven range scales (0.125-96 nm) Bearing scale that always gives the correct bearing from own ship.
• Three colour palettes give easy adjustment of the radar picture for the current light conditions.
• Two Electronic Bearing Lines/Variable Range Markers (EBL/VRM).
• Remote control of K-Bridge Autopilot in Heading, Course, Waypoint and Track control mode.
• Monitoring of sailing routes.
