Detailed description

The **HALO24 Radar** from **B&G** is a 24-inch pulse compression radome designed to deliver unparalleled target detection at short, medium, and long ranges. Incorporating Doppler VelocityTrack™ technology, simultaneous dual-range operation, and a rotation speed of up to 60 RPM at short range, this compact and lightweight radar enhances situational awareness and collision avoidance. It represents a significant advancement over traditional magnetron radars, offering instant startup and low power consumption.

Doppler VelocityTrack™ technology and pulse compression

Doppler VelocityTrack™ technology provides instant visual feedback on the movement of radar targets. A simple color-coding system identifies potential hazards, highlighting approaching targets while reducing the visibility of receding ones. The **HALO24 Radar** automatically processes each visible target, eliminating the need for manual selection. Pulse compression technology ensures optimal detection at all scales, while beam sharpening provides improved separation between small or distant targets.

Operational performance

With a rotation speed of 60 revolutions per minute for ranges up to 1.5 nautical miles, the **HALO24 Radar** provides near real-time visibility, essential for collision avoidance with fast-moving targets. The dual-range function allows simultaneous monitoring of two distinct range scales from a single radome, for example, to keep an eye on a distant weather cell while monitoring nearby fishing traps. MARPA target tracking allows monitoring of up to 10 selected targets (or 20 in dual-range mode). Preset modes (Harbour, Offshore, Weather, Birds) adjust settings to ensure optimal visibility in all conditions.

Technical specifications of the HALO24 Radar

The **HALO24 Radar** offers a maximum range of 48 nautical miles. Its peak power is 25 W, powered by a 12/24 V DC system. Power consumption is 20 W in typical mode, 29 W at maximum, and 3.9 W in standby. The horizontal beamwidth is 3.9° nominal (2° with high target separation) and 22° for the vertical beam. The radome measures 610 mm in diameter and 225 mm in height, with a weight of 6.75 kg without cables. The unit is IPX6 rated and operates in a temperature range of -25°C to +55°C. Connectivity to the B&G multifunction display network is via Ethernet.

« HALO24: Doppler clarity for uncompromising safety »

The B&G HALO24 radar represents a major advance for the safety of cruising and racing sailboats. Its 100% solid-state technology eliminates the main source of failure in traditional radars: the magnetron. The result is increased reliability and an InstantOn™ function that makes it immediately operational, a critical advantage in emergency situations. The integration of Doppler VelocityTrack™ technology is a real game-changer, transforming the radar from a simple detection tool into a proactive collision avoidance system. Its ability to rotate up to 60 RPM at short range offers unparalleled display fluidity, essential for navigating busy ports or channels. Connected via Ethernet, it integrates seamlessly into the B&G ecosystem, offering a high-performance, reliable, and low-consumption radar solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

Is the B&G HALO24 radar easy to install?

The installation of the B&G HALO24 radar is facilitated by a provided mounting template. Ensure the template is oriented correctly so that the front of the scanner faces the front of the boat. The thickness of the mounting surface should be between 3 mm and 18 mm.

Is the B&G HALO24 radar waterproof?

Yes, the B&G HALO24 radar is IPX6 certified, meaning it is protected against strong water jets.

What is the required power supply voltage for the B&G HALO24 radar?

The B&G HALO24 radar operates with an input voltage of 10.5 to 31.2 V DC and features reverse polarity protection.

What is the recommended minimum distance for installing the B&G HALO24 radar near the vessel's compass?

The recommended minimum distance for installing the B&G HALO24 radar near the vessel's compass is 0.7 meters (2.3 feet).

What is the maximum length of the interconnection cable for the B&G HALO24 radar?

The maximum length of the interconnection cable for the B&G HALO24 radar is 30 meters (98.5 feet).

Does the B&G HALO24 radar use a magnetron?

No, the B&G HALO24 radar does not use a magnetron. It is fully solid-state and features Instant On™ technology.

What is the role of the Doppler VelocityTrack™ technology integrated into the B&G HALO24 radar?

Doppler VelocityTrack™ technology allows for instant distinction of potentially dangerous targets by analyzing their speed.

What precautions should be taken when installing the B&G HALO24 radar?

During installation, ensure that the B&G HALO24 radar is not on the same plane as a conventional pulse radar. If it is, the pulse radar must be in STBY or OFF mode when the HALO radar is operating. Also, ensure you have a clear view around the vessel.

What is the horizontal beamwidth of the B&G HALO24 radar?

The horizontal beamwidth of the B&G HALO24 radar is 3.9° nominal (-3 dB width).

Does the HALO24 radar use Doppler technology?

Yes, the HALO24 radar is equipped with Doppler VelocityTrack™ technology to identify moving targets and help prevent collisions.

Is the HALO24 radar easy to install?

Installing the HALO24 radar requires careful adherence to the instructions in the provided installation manual. A mounting template is included to facilitate drilling. It is recommended to verify the correct orientation before drilling.

What is the rotation speed of the HALO24 radar?

The rotation speed of the HALO24 radar varies from 20 to 60 RPM (revolutions per minute), depending on the mode and the multifunction display (MFD) used.
