Enhancement Function (TEF M) and Sector

Adaptive Sea Clutter Function • Full Function Dual Station capability • Selectable Portrait or Landscape screen viewing options • Small, compact keyboard for easy installation and operation • Chart Overlay • S Band (30kW, 60kW) • X Band (lOkW, 25kW, 50kW) • ARPA Option (30 or 100 targets) • AIS Interface capability

ConstaviewM

All the information gathered by the radar is stored in the system, therefore switching from one view; i.e.

North-Up to Head-Up, Scrolling or Off-Center, instantly produces a new, complete radar image, reflecting the new selection. During range changes the picture is reproduced after only one scan. Targets that need to be closely followed can be easily re-identified on the new image. Constaview " refreshes the radar image every 16ms, this creates a smooth real-time presentation during a maneuver and despite heading changes target trails always stay true.

Target Enhancement Function (TEF )

Developed exclusively by JRC, TEF™ allows better identification of small/weak echoes. Equally, coastlines appear with improved definition.

Sector Adaptive Sea Clutter

Conventional marine radars use a single Sea Clutter level for the complete radar picture. The highly advanced processor of the JMA-5300 Series has the capability to simultaneously use different levels of Sea Clutter in various sectors of the radar image.
