Furuno DRS4D NXT 24 Radome
Furuno’s Solid State Doppler Radar DRS4D-NXT Radome is the NXT chapter in Radar Technology.
Target Analyzer™ function utilizing Doppler technology spots hazardous targets instantly!
The NXT series are the first Radars in the world to use FURUNO’s exclusive Target Analyzer™ function. Targets that are approaching your vessel automatically change color to help you identify potentially dangerous targets. Green echoes are targets that stay stationary, or are moving away from you, while red echoes are hazardous targets that are moving towards your vessel. Echoes dynamically change colors as targets approach, or get farther away from your vessel. Target Analyzer™ improves situational awareness and can increase safety by showing you which targets to look out for.
Rain mode
When the “Rain mode” is on, rain echoes are shown in blue. This mode is particularly useful as it has the capability to detect targets masked by rain clutters.
Fast Target Tracking™ and Auto Target Acquire function
With Fast Target Tracking™ activated, it only takes a few seconds for a vector to be displayed once the target is selected.
When the Auto Target Acquire function is on, approaching targets within 3NM range from own ship, which are potentially hazardous, are automatically acquired by Doppler calculation and will trigger an alarm*.
Together, Up to 100 targets can be acquired simultaneously, considerably increasing the safety and simplifying estimation of other vessel’s course and speed.

Bird Mode
NXT Radars feature a new Bird Mode that helps you identify birds gathering around schools of fish at the sea surface. Bird mode adjusts the gain and sea settings automatically for optimal visibility.
