HALO 2003

The Simrad HALO 2003 radar offers an impressive detection range from 6 metres to 72 nautical miles. This performance is equivalent to that of a 12 kW magnetron radar, ensuring reliable coverage over short and long distances.

The Simrad HALO 2003 radar is a 50W pulse compression system.

The HALO 2003 system comes with a 3-foot (approximately 0.91-meter) open array antenna.

The advanced pulse compression technology in the HALO 2003 enables high-resolution target detection. It provides excellent target separation at short ranges while maintaining effective detection over long ranges.

Yes, the Simrad HALO 2003 is designed for harsh marine conditions. Its pedestal and antenna are rated IPX6 for resistance to the elements, and it can operate in a temperature range of -25°C to +55°C.

The exclusive VelocityTrack™ feature uses Doppler technology to identify the speed and direction of targets. This greatly facilitates collision prevention by displaying approaching or receding targets with distinct colors.

The HALO 2003's ZoneTrack™ mode enables automatic tracking of up to 50 targets, providing comprehensive environmental monitoring.

The HALO 2003 antenna rotation speed is variable and can be adjusted from 16 to 48 RPM (rotations per minute), adapting to various sailing conditions.

The Simrad HALO 2003 radar operates on the X-band, with a frequency range of 9.390 to 9.495 GHz.

The HALO 2003 system is a complete kit that includes the following elements:

A HALO 50W pedestal
A 3-foot antenna
A RI-50 power supply
A 20-meter (65.5-foot) cable

The HALO 2003 integrates a beam sharpening function (Beam Sharpening) that reduces the beam angle from 2.4° to 1.7°. This technology enables high-resolution target detection and improved object separation, providing a clearer and more detailed radar image.

Yes, the Simrad HALO 2003 is specifically designed for advanced marine navigation. It offers sophisticated features such as pulse compression, VelocityTrack™ and ZoneTrack™ for enhanced safety and situational awareness.

The minimum detection range of the Simrad HALO 2003 radar is 6 metres, which is ideal for navigation in congested areas or at close range.

The Simrad HALO 2003 radar is compatible with 12V and 24V marine electrical systems.

The HALO 2003 radar is designed to integrate seamlessly with compatible Simrad multifunction displays (MFD), providing a consistent and high-performance user experience.

The HALO 2003 system comes with a 20-meter (65.5 ft) cable to facilitate installation aboard your vessel.

After installing the HALO 2003 radar, it is essential to check and confirm the following settings:

The antenna height, which is critical for performance optimization. The antenna length, which must be specified as 3 feet in this case.

Precise adjustment of the antenna height is critical for optimizing STC (Sensitivity Time Control) and sea clutter functions. Correct adjustment improves radar performance by reducing sea clutter echoes and optimizing target detection.

Yes, it is strongly recommended to perform a full power cycle of the system (turn off then turn on) before using the radar after a new installation or a software update.
