2The Simrad
Radar Range
Based on years of experience and designed by some of the world’s leading marine radar
system engineers, the Simrad Argus X-Band, Argus S-Band and Broadband Radar Systems
offer world class solutions for professional vessels. As the only manufacturer to offer this full
range of radar solutions, we can design a target detection solution specifically for your vessel.
Both Argus X-Band and S-Band options are fully IMO compliant and their configuration is
characterised by reduced weight, small dimensions, and compact electronics thereby offering
a great solution for a wide variety of vessels (including high speed craft).
Argus X-Band
The Argus X-Band is a state of the art professional X-band
radar including and foot antenna options* and up-mast transceiver
in both kW and kW. Thanks to the modular design, they can either be
assembled to form a stand-alone display cabinet, or be flush mounted as part of
an integrated bridge. The standard configuration always includes full ARPA, AIS and
an integrated gyro interface with Stepper, Syncro and NMEA capability as standard. An
electronic built-in interswitch for dual radar installations is also included as standard.
*Note: a ft antenna option is available and this requires a modified up-mast transceiver.
Argus S-Band
The Simrad Argus family has been expanded with the
addition of the lightest S-Band radar available in the market today. The S-Band radar has a
new slim profile antenna to reduce disturbances caused by sea waves and wind resistance.
The Argus S-Band radar does not require a separate power supply and uses the exact same
single cable as the Argus X-Band. This makes installation and service significantly easier than
most other S-Band installations in the market today.
The kW Argus S-Band Radar has enhanced near target detection, pre-wired plug and play installation, and full integration with the current Argus
X-Band Radar. The Argus S-Band is perfect for vessels over gross tonnes who require and S-Band radar ( GHz) as part of their carriage requirements.
The Argus S-Band shares some of the same proven technology and electronic components as the Argus X-Band thus reducing the required on-
board spare parts and assuring their availability via our world-wide Advantage Service program.
