Intertrade Awarded

Navy Contract To Supply

Messenger/Position Buoys

Intertrade Industries, Marine

Products Division, has been awarded a contract by the Naval

Sea Systems Command for the sup- ply of 128 Astern Fueling Messen- ger/Position Buoys to be delivered to NATO bases in Canada, Scot- land, England, Gibraltar, Portugal and Holland, as wellas various U.S.- based Navy facilities.

The newly designed buoys will be utilized as messenger and position- ing buoys during at-sea astern fuel- ing operations—the preferred fuel- ing mode of NATO countries.

The buoys will be manufactured utilizing all stainless steel hardware and Interade's standard buoy con- struction of inner foam combination of rigid plus semi-flexible foams for positive buoyancy and impact ab- sorption, covered with an outer layer of tough abrasion-resistant, fi- lament-reinforced synthetic elas- tomer.

In addition to this contract, Inter- trade recently received several other major contracts for its pipe support, chain support and pendant buoys and utility floats from NAVSHIPS, major oil companies and electric utilities.

HHI Wins $230-Million

Offshore Project For

ONGC In India

Hyundai Heavy Industries Co.,

Ltd. (HHI) of Korea recently won a mammoth offshore project from the

Indian state-owned Oil and Natural

Gas Commission (ONGC) on a turn- j^gy b&sis

The Offshore Division of HHI received a letter of intent for the

Heera Process Complex Project.

Under the agreement, HHI will be responsible for the engineering, pro- curement, fabrication, transporta- tion, installation, hookup and com- missioning at a total cost of $230 million on a cash basis. The project calls for one water injection plat- form with 160,000 bbl/d of seawater treatment capacity, one gas com- pression platform that can treat 2.4 million cubic meters of gas per day, construction of submarine pipeline, heliport, generating and communi- cation facility, living quarters for 124 persons, and other attached fa- cilities for oil process works.

HHI will fabricate the facilities by using a total of 29,000 tons of steel at their fabrication yard in

Ulsan and install in the Arabian Sea off Alubaugh, western India.

With rain and sea clutter circuits OFF on PATHFINDER/ST ARPA, sea clutter extends 1.8 to 2 miles from ship, ice floe belts appear 320" to 35°, additional ice clutter scattered beyond sea clutter 270° to 320° (Thick lines at 230° and 155° are RACONS).

With rain and sea clutter circuits ON, the radar picture is absolutely "clean" Sea and ice clutter are gone. All targets previously masked are clearly visible.

Raytheon PATHFINDER/ST.

Superior Technology Provides

Superior Target Detection.

True Motion with

Electronic Plotting or ARPA.

Raytheon sets radar performance stan- dards for the 21st century with technolo- gy breakthroughs that virtually eliminate noise, interference and clutter, while rec- ognizing and displaying even weak tar- gets typically lost on other radars.

The heart of this improved radar system is Raytheon's exclusive five-stage signal processing.. .we call it Superior

Technology.

ST for short.

Combined with higher performance transmitters and receivers, and the latest raster displays, ST provides performance levels never before available. Now, with

PATHFINDER/ST, your vessels-and their crews-can have an important extra mea- sure of safety and efficiency, including a unique Safety-Coded CPA Circle, which shows course selections for safest CPAs.

PATHFINDER/ST is available as an

ARPA or a True Motion/Relative Motion display with Electronic Plotting. These displays can easily retrofit the displays in older Raytheon Bright Display Radar

Systems, and can be high-performance repeaters for radars of most other manufacturers.

When interfaced with an SNA-91 Integrat- ed Bridge Display, the PATHFINDER/ST

ARPA also becomes a key sensor/deci- sion-aid in a complete shipboard naviga- tion and control system.

Near-Perfect

Target Detection.

Using increased signal-to-noise levels, high dynamic range, precisely matched pulse bandwidths, and exclusive Rain

Rate circuits, PATHFINDER/ST receiv- ers faithfully capture target returns even in severe clutter.

PATHFINDER/ST multistage processing analyzes, compares, tests, and samples the received signal so that all detected targets, no matter how weak in signal strength, are distinguished from clutter and clearly displayed. 10
