Raytheon Introduces

JRC Color And Digital

Rasterscan Radar Unit

Raytheon Marine Company of

Manchester, N.H., has just intro- duced the new model JMA-3410 color radar that provides high-reso- lution color in a compact, digital, rasterscan unit. Raytheon is offer- ing this advanced model, which is manufactured by Japan Radio Com- pany, as exclusive distributor in the

U.S., to bring the best in radar to vessel owners who want multi-color features. Raytheon designs and pro- duces a full line of radar equipment for all types of vessels, and was the first to introduce rasterscan radar with monochrome displays.

The JMA-3410 radar presents continuous color images in 10 ranges from '/ to 72 nautical miles on a rec- tangular CRT measuring 14 inches diagonally. Low-intensity targets appear in green, middle-intensity targets in yellow, strong targets in red, and moving target vectors are plotted in blue. Monochromatic dis- play can also be selected by the operator; this feature, not found in most color radars, is useful for en- hanced clarity in some overly crowded conditions.
