B&G Halo24 Pulse Compression Radar: Unrivalled Situational Awareness for Sailors

Navigate with absolute confidence and gain an unprecedented view of your surroundings with the B&G Halo24 Pulse Compression Radar. Designed specifically for the demands of sailing, this revolutionary 24-inch dome radar delivers a near real-time view, with an industry-first 60 RPM operation at close range, to provide the ultimate in collision avoidance. The Halo24 combines the best characteristics of traditional pulse and broadband radar systems, using advanced Pulse Compression technology to ensure you see targets with exceptional clarity from right off the bow up to 48 nautical miles away. Whether you´re navigating a crowded harbour or making an offshore passage, the Halo24 provides the sharpest, most reliable picture of your environment.

This advanced radar system eliminates the warm-up time associated with traditional magnetron radars, offering an instant-on capability from standby mode. Its solid-state technology not only ensures low power consumption, perfect for sailboats managing their power budget, but also guarantees long-term reliability without the need for magnetron servicing or replacement.

Key Benefits:

* Ultimate Collision Avoidance: Experience a near-instantaneous view at close range with the industry´s first 60 RPM operation. This rapid update rate is critical for identifying and reacting to fast-moving threats in close quarters, giving you more time to make safe decisions.
* VelocityTrack™ Doppler Technology: Instantly identify potential hazards without manually interpreting targets. The Halo24 automatically colour-codes approaching vessels in yellow and diverging or stationary targets in blue, providing an immediate and intuitive understanding of collision risks.
* See Near and Far Simultaneously: With its powerful Dual Range capability, the Halo24 acts like two radars in one. Monitor a distant weather cell on one screen while keeping a close watch for channel markers and other vessels nearby on a split-screen display with your B&G multifunction display.
* Unmatched Clarity and Target Detection: B&G´s advanced Pulse Compression technology with Beam Sharpening provides superior target separation and resolution. This allows you to distinguish small or distant targets, such as channel markers or small boats, even when they are close to larger objects or landmasses.
* Optimised for Every Situation: Pre-set modes including Harbour, Offshore, Weather, and Bird mode instantly tune the radar´s advanced signal processing to ensure targets are seen vividly, no matter the conditions. The dedicated Bird mode helps anglers find promising fishing spots by tracking seabird activity.
