Simrad 000-11466-001 HALO 6' Pulse Compression Open Array Radar

The Simrad HALO 6-Foot Pulse Compression Radar Array (MPN: 000-11466-001) delivers a powerful combination of long-range detection and close-quarters situational awareness for serious offshore and coastal mariners. Built on solid-state Pulse Compression technology, the HALO-6 eliminates the compromises found in traditional pulse radar systems, offering exceptional target clarity at both short and long distances from a single array.

Key Features:

• True 72 Nautical Mile Range: The 6-foot open array antenna achieves a maximum detection range of 72 nm, with a remarkably small 20-foot minimum range (main bang area)
• Dual Range Operation: Functions like two independent arrays in one — monitor two distance ranges simultaneously with separate displays, controls, and independent MARPA target tracking
• InstantOn™ Technology: Fully operational in just 16–25 seconds from a cold start, and instantly from standby — no 2–3 minute warm-up wait
• Beam Sharpening with Target Separation Control: Delivers effective target resolution comparable to an 8-foot array without beam sharpening, improving discrimination between closely spaced targets
• Advanced Signal Processing: Digital azimuth and range sidelobe reduction enhances discrimination of small targets such as channel markers from larger adjacent targets like ships and bridges
• MARPA Target Tracking: Automatically tracks up to 10 user-selected targets with CPA (closest point of approach) and TCPA (time to closest point of approach) data; up to 20 targets in Dual Range mode
• High-Speed 48 RPM Rotation: Provides rapid position updates for fast-moving vessel applications, powered by a quiet brushless motor with helical geartrain design
• Weather & Bird Modes: Dedicated automatic modes for storm cell monitoring and bird-finding — no manual tuning required
• Low Electromagnetic Emissions: Safe to operate in anchorages and marinas; minimum safe distance falls within the antenna's own swing circle
• Low Power Consumption: Averages just 40W with no wind load; maximum 150W at peak wind velocity; only 6.5W in standby
• Wind Resistance: Rated to operate in winds up to 80 knots with improved corrosion resistance for long-term marine durability
• IEC 62388 Compliant: Meets tough IEC 62388 Annex D target detection specifications when installed at 15m height
• VelocityTrack™ Compatible: Optional Doppler motion-tracking upgrade available to automatically highlight all approaching targets

The HALO-6 array integrates seamlessly with Simrad NSS and NSO multifunction display systems, making it an ideal upgrade for offshore powerboats, sportfishing vessels, and serious cruisers demanding reliable, high-definition radar coverage from close quarters to the distant horizon.
