The revolutionary FAR-21x7 series of X- and S-band
radars are the result of FURUNO’s 50 years of experience
in marine electronics and advanced computer technology.
This series is designed to meet the exacting standards of
the International Maritime Organization (IMO) below
10,000 GT.
The display unit employs a 20” LCD which provides
an effective picture diameter of larger than 250 mm.
The SXGA monitor provides crisp radar images, which
are presented in a selectable color with a day and night
background color for easy observation in all lighting
conditions. Different colors are assigned for marks,
symbols and texts for user-friendly operations.
Target detection is enhanced by sophisticated signal
processing techniques. Two guard zones can be set at
required ranges in any sector. Other ship’s movements
are assessed by advanced target tracking software and
alerted by CPA/TCPA data readouts. The FAR-21x7
series can display AIS-equipped ships, when connected
with an AIS transponder.
The radar antenna is available with 4, 6.5, or 8 feet
radiator.For the X-band, the rotation speed is selectable
from 24 rpm for standard radars or 42 rpm for HSC.
The S-band radar is also available with the antenna
radiator of 10 or 12 feet. The S-band radar assures target
detection in adverse weather where an X-band is heavily
affected by sea or rain clutter.

The radars can be connected to an Ethernet network for a variety of user
requirements. SOLAS Chapter V as amended requires X- and S-band radars
for ships 3000 GT and over. Each of X- and S-band radars can be
interswitched without using an extra option. Up to four radars can be
interchanged in the network. In addition, the essential navigational information
including the electronic chart, L/L, COG, SOG, STW, etc. can be shared in
the network.
