Advanced Pulse Compression Technology

The Simrad HALO 300X 130W Radar System is designed to deliver superior target detection and long-range coverage for marine navigation. With an impressive 130W output—equivalent to a 25kW magnetron radar—this system ensures exceptional clarity from 6 meters (20 feet) to 96 nautical miles. Pulse compression technology enhances situational awareness, reducing sea clutter and providing precise detection of vessels, obstacles, and weather patterns.

Simultaneous Dual-Range Operation

Equipped with Dual-Range mode, the HALO 300X allows users to monitor both distant weather systems and nearby channel markers or high-speed vessels simultaneously. This function is essential for maintaining a comprehensive view of your surroundings, ensuring safer navigation in any conditions.

Enhanced Safety and Collision Avoidance

The HALO 300X integrates advanced safety features to improve navigation confidence. ZoneTrack™ enables tracking of up to 50 targets within defined areas, providing real-time insights into their course and speed. VelocityTrack™ Doppler technology further enhances collision avoidance by color-coding potential hazards, allowing for quick identification of moving threats. Dangerous Target Alerts highlight range, graphical bearing, and heading of other vessels, ensuring a proactive approach to safety.

Optimized for Various Marine Environments

Designed with multiple preset modes, the HALO 300X adapts seamlessly to different marine environments. Choose from Harbour, Offshore, Weather, and Bird modes to optimize radar performance without manual tuning. For sportfishing enthusiasts, the Bird+ mode utilizes the radar's full power to detect seabird activity up to 8 nautical miles away, helping locate fish-rich waters with greater accuracy.

Rugged and Reliable Performance

Built for durability, the HALO 300X operates efficiently in extreme marine conditions. Its solid-state transmitter ensures longevity without power degradation, while its robust construction meets stringent waterproofing standards (IPX6 for the pedestal and antenna, IPX5 for the RI-50 interface module). The system is also engineered to function in wind conditions up to 80 knots, maintaining optimal performance even in harsh weather.

Seamless Integration with Simrad Systems

The HALO 300X is compatible with Simrad chart plotters, including NSS™, NSX™, NSO™, and GO™ series, making it a flexible addition to existing marine electronics setups. The system's intuitive interface simplifies operation, ensuring smooth user interaction without the need for complex calibration.
