RADAR TECHNOLOGY Ice & Oil radar
RADAR TECHNOLOGY proudly presents our New "Ice and Oil Detection radar"
with integrated de-icing system.
We developed our new Ice & Oil Detection radar aimed to improve the probability
to detect small and minor details at great distances with a marine radar.
This includes oil skim and small ice pieces which by their nature have very limited radar cross section and thus difficult to detect, and display in radar images.
Radar techniques.
Satellite radar systems such as SAR is known for its specialty of being able to detect, for example, sea surface and rendering natural images in 3-D format down to small details, impressive.
The RADAR-Technology radar is developed with techniques found in the SAR Satellite radar systems.
This technology is very sensitivity in its main function and simultaneously with
a corresponding reduction of interference from "peripheral systems".
The result is a considerable increase in dynamics, and consequently an unique ability to detect objects on the surface, into very small details.
De-icing technology.
A true problem in icing conditions is resolved - all RADAR-Technology antennas
can be equipped with built-in de-icing technology.
When the rest of the vessel or platform is covered by ice or frost, RADAR-Technology Ice radar is still operating, detecting without being interfered by ice or frost.
Complies with DNV GL new Winterization Rules for ships, and DNV GL Enhanced Classification Rules for mobile offshore units, effective in 2014
Winterization.
Our transceiver is winterized to perform at extremely cold temperatures.
The cables are safely connected to the up-mast transceiver unit,
designed to perform down to extremely cold temperatures.
Operator friendly.
Last but not least: RADAR-Technology radars could be operated by the Officers.
RADAR-Technology radars is operated by the same display system as the navigational radar on board. The radar system is by that relatively easy to operate, providing high degree of detection probability of objects that traditionally are difficult to see
in a radar image.
Man over board situations.
Detecting small Ice pieces and oil on the sea surface is already mentioned above.
RADAR-Technology radars provide very high detection capability to be able to show good pictures in a "man overboard" situation. This also in harsh conditions
where the traditional marine radar would be blinded by icing.
