Only 170 Watts output as against present 25 to 30 KW, is a true technical revolution.
An innovative radar unveiled by Kelvin Hughes could become like Intel, being incorporated into other manufacturers' systems, believes the company's Engineering and Programmes Manager Martin Taylor. He was speaking after its 'SharpEye' solid-state radar was unveiled at the SMM exhibition.
The new radar does not have a magnetron or its associated high voltages and high powers, and it uses a novel processing method to obtain more details from the radar signals to identify targets from clutter.
Taylor explained that it had been developed in response to IMO rules, due to come into force in July 2008 that will require better radar definition. The device is expected to complete sea trials in the New Year and to be ready for delivery to customers by May next year.
