Simrad HALO24 Radar

The SIMRAD HALO24 radar provides a maximum detection range of 48 nautical miles (approximately 89 kilometers), making it suitable for coastal and offshore navigation.

The HALO24 radar can detect targets at a minimum range of 6 meters, allowing excellent perception of the vessel's immediate surroundings.

The SIMRAD HALO24 radar uses solid-state pulse technology and pulse compression. This technology provides clearer and faster target detection than traditional magnetron radars.

The HALO24’s Doppler VelocityTrack™ technology visually identifies moving targets. It assigns specific colors to indicate the direction of target movement:

Approaching targets are displayed in yellow.
Receding targets are displayed in blue.
Stationary targets are displayed in red.
This analysis is automatic and requires no manual intervention.

Yes, the SIMRAD HALO24 radar has dual-range capability. This allows you to monitor short- and long-range targets simultaneously on a split-screen display, improving situational awareness.

Over short ranges, up to 2 nautical miles, the HALO24 radar dome can reach a rotation speed of 60 revolutions per minute (rpm). This high speed provides an almost real-time view, essential for collision avoidance in congested areas.

Yes, the SIMRAD HALO24 radar is designed for coastal and offshore navigation. Its advanced detection capabilities, extended range, and collision-avoidance technology make it versatile for various maritime conditions.

The HALO24 radar is a powerful 25 W solid-state radar, which contributes to its detection performance across a wide range of ranges.

The SIMRAD HALO24 is a compact 24-inch (approximately 61 cm) dome radar.

The SIMRAD HALO24 is a solid-state radar. This technology provides advantages such as instant start-up, reduced power consumption, longer lifespan, and improved detection compared to magnetron radars.

Pulse compression is a technology that enables the HALO24 radar to achieve excellent short-range target resolution while maintaining good long-range detection. It improves target clarity and separation, even in challenging conditions.

The SIMRAD HALO24 radar is compatible with most modern Simrad multifunction displays, including the NSS evo3/evo3S, NSO evo3/evo3S series, and certain GO series models (with the appropriate software version). It is recommended to verify specific compatibility with your display model and its software version.

The SIMRAD HALO24 radar requires a DC power supply, typically 12 or 24 Volts. Ensure your boat's power system can provide the necessary voltage and current for proper operation.

Although the HALO24 radar uses a proprietary Ethernet connection to transfer radar data to Simrad multifunction displays, it can integrate into a larger navigation system via a compatible MFD that is itself connected to an NMEA 2000 network. This allows sharing of position data, heading, and other information between devices on the network.

For optimal performance, the HALO24 radar must be mounted in a location with a clear 360-degree view, free of major obstructions (masts, antennas, exhausts) that could block the radar beam. It is generally recommended to mount it as high as possible on the boat to maximize detection range and minimize blind spots.

The HALO24 radar uses a proprietary Simrad Ethernet cable to connect to a compatible multifunction display. This cable transmits both power and radar data. Wiring kits of various lengths are typically available.

Yes, the SIMRAD HALO24 is designed for the marine environment and complies with international maritime navigation and radiocommunication standards (including EN 60945:2002). It is built to withstand harsh weather conditions, vibrations, and spray.

Yes, the SIMRAD HALO24 radar is CE certified and compliant with European Directive 2014/53/EU. It has been tested against multiple standards, including EN 60945:2002 for maritime navigation equipment and EN 302 248 V2.1.1 for navigation radars.
