Advanced CHIRP Radar for Enhanced Marine Navigation

Raymarine Quantum Q24C 18" CHIRP Radar sets a new benchmark in marine radar technology, delivering superior imaging capabilities for both short- and long-range detection. Designed by FLIR Systems, this solid-state radar uses CHIRP pulse compression to enhance target separation and provide clear identification of boats, landmarks, buoys, and weather cells. Its lightweight and energy-efficient design, combined with integrated Wi-Fi connectivity and simple cabling, makes installation easy while ensuring optimal performance on the water.

High-Definition Radar Imaging

Equipped with FLIR’s exclusive ATX™ advanced target separation technology, the Raymarine Quantum Q24C provides exceptional clarity. Whether detecting distant vessels or nearby obstacles, it ensures precise and detailed imaging to enhance situational awareness.

CHIRP Pulse Compression for Enhanced Detection

The CHIRP Pulse Compression technology maximizes the energy reaching each target, improving detection accuracy at all ranges. With a minimum detection range of just 6 meters (18 feet) and a maximum scale of 24 nautical miles, this radar offers both close-up detail and long-range visibility.

Small Target Detection

Quantum’s advanced radar processing identifies even weak and small targets, ensuring improved safety and navigation, particularly in cluttered or high-traffic areas.

Instant Readiness and Efficient Operation

Unlike traditional magnetron-based radars, the Quantum Q24C requires no warm-up time, allowing it to be operational in seconds. This immediate responsiveness is critical for safety and convenience when setting sail.

Easy Installation with Flexible Connectivity

The Quantum Q24C supports both wired Ethernet (RayNet) and Wi-Fi connectivity, providing flexible installation options. The unit's slim, lightweight design makes it easy to mount, and it can be retrofitted using existing bolt patterns from previous Raymarine radar models. An optional adapter cable eliminates the need for re-cabling.

Lightweight and Energy-Saving Design

Weighing 50% less than traditional magnetron radars, the Quantum Q24C reduces strain on mounting hardware. It also features low power consumption—drawing just 17 watts in transmit mode and 7 watts in standby—helping extend battery life, making it an ideal choice for sailboats and energy-conscious vessels.
