Furuno Marine Radar FR-10/FR-12

Navigate Safely By Identifying Risks

Overview

The Furuno FR-10 and FR-12 10.4"/12.1" Color LCD Radars are advanced marine radar displays designed for a wide variety of detection needs. They can be paired with Furuno's extensive DRS Series Antennas. These radars feature the latest technologies, including Risk Visualizer™, a new function that provides visual information on potential collision areas and the movement of surrounding vessels. Additional features include Echo Average, Target Analyzer™, Fast Target Tracking™, RezBoost™, Custom AIS, and User-Programmable function keys, all supported by multi-language capabilities.

Antenna Compatibility

The FR-10 and FR-12 are compatible with most of the DRS Series Antennas, allowing for various configurations. Users can select the radar based on detection range (power output), screen size, and antenna type & size to meet specific requirements.

DRS Series Antennas (NXT Series)

Radome type: Model DRS2D-NXT
Open Array type: Model DRS6A-NXT, Model DRS12A-NXT, Model DRS25A-NXT

Radar Sensor (X-CLASS)

Radome type: Model DRS4DL+, Model DRS4D-NXT

This includes the "SOLID STATE DOPPLER RADAR NXT SERIES" with models like DRS2D-NXT (Radome type) and DRS6A-NXT, DRS12A-NXT, DRS25A-NXT (Open Array type). It also shows "RADAR SENSOR X-CLASS" with models like DRS4DL+, DRS4D-NXT (Radome type) and DRS6A X-Class, DRS12A X-Class, DRS25A X-Class (Open Array type).

Key Features

Risk Visualizer™

Risk Visualizer™ is a technology that displays potential collision areas based on the current position and movement of surrounding vessels. It provides an intuitive overview of the maritime situation with color-coded alerts, ranging from green (normal) to red (hazardous), to help assess danger levels and plan navigation. This feature is integrated into Furuno's commercial mid-range radars to enhance safety at sea.

Image Description: A radar display showing "Safe target" and "Dangerous target" indicators. Color-coded areas highlight potential collision risks, with a visual guide indicating threat levels from normal to hazardous. A prompt suggests checking a video of the Risk Visualizer™.

Fast Target Tracking™

Fast Target Tracking™ instantaneously displays a vector indicating a target's speed and heading. Targets are automatically tracked from the moment they appear, allowing for immediate calculation of their trajectory and display of their velocity vector.

Image Description: Two radar screen captures illustrating Fast Target Tracking™. The "Before" image shows a target without a clear vector. The "After Target acquired" image shows the same target with a velocity vector indicating its speed and direction of movement.

Target Analyzer™

Target Analyzer™ identifies targets and highlights dangerous ones likely to collide with the user's vessel. It uses different colors to represent varying degrees of danger, allowing operators to quickly understand threats to safe navigation. This function requires DRS-NXT Radar Sensors.

Image Description: A radar display featuring multiple targets. Some targets are highlighted in distinct colors (e.g., red, yellow) to signify potential collision risks, providing an at-a-glance assessment of danger levels.

Echo Average

Echo Average is a feature that attenuates irregular echoes, such as those from the sea surface and precipitation. It stabilizes echoes from fishing gear and other vessels, making it easier to identify desired targets, even in challenging weather conditions like high waves, precipitation, or dense fog.

Image Description: Two radar screen captures demonstrating the effect of Echo Average. The "Before" image shows a cluttered screen with significant sea clutter and precipitation. The "After" image shows a clearer display with reduced clutter and more distinct target echoes.

Radar Overlay on Charts / Share Points and Lines

The FR-12 model can display radar echoes overlaid on MapMedia MM3D charts. Additionally, when connected to the GP-3700/F via Ethernet, marks and lines can be shared. This functionality requires the optional RP board kit OP03-266-E to be installed in the FR-12.
