Wartsila NACOS raPlatinum
As the first manufacturer of network based IP radar systems, Wärtsilä is proud to present a product based on advanced radar technology.
The raw radar video, as well as the radar targets, are processed within the transceiver unit and distributed via network to a number of radar workstations. Advanced filter techniques are used for clutter suppression and enhanced small target detection.
The innovative and ergonomic design of the Wärtsilä NACOS RADARPILOT Platinum provides unprecedented levels of usability and safe operation for experts and novices alike.

Radar merging
The Wärtsilä NACOS RADARPILOT Platinum can be upgraded with a type approved option for multi antenna operation. In case of coverage limitations, for example due to the vessels superstructure or cargo arrangement, radar images of different antennas from the same type can be combined. All radar functions such as acquisition, trail and others remain working. A typical configuration is the combination of a bow radar and stern radar antenna.
High Speed (HSC) Capabilities
All types of radar transceivers are available with dual speed gearboxes for high speed craft (HSC) applications. A double refresh rate is also helpful in small passages and gives enhancements of target detection algorithms, e.g. at helicopter approach.
