Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
ARPA radar stands for Automatic Radar Plotting Aid. It is a navigation radar system that tracks multiple targets automatically to help avoid collisions and improve situational awareness at sea.
X-band operates at 9 GHz for high-resolution imagery, best in clear weather and congested zones. S-band operates at 3 GHz, better suited for long-range detection and adverse weather performance.
Solid-state radar uses semiconductor transmitters instead of vacuum tubes (magnetrons), offering more reliability, longer service life, and reduced maintenance.
It provides automatic target plotting, predictive movement tracking, collision warnings, and enhanced bridge navigation support.
ARPA is mandatory on SOLAS-compliant vessels above certain gross tonnage, as per IMO regulations, to improve navigation safety.
Yes, ARPA radar can integrate with modern systems like ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display) and AIS (Automatic Identification System) for complete situational awareness.
Depending on the radar type, detection ranges vary. X-band can range up to 24 NM; S-band can detect targets beyond 48 NM under optimal conditions.
S-band ARPA radar performs well in rain, fog, and rough seas due to its lower frequency, making it reliable in challenging conditions.
Seanav offers full support, including installation, calibration, testing, and repairs for ARPA radar across major ports in UAE, India, Egypt, and Oman.
Yes, our technicians can assist in upgrading older magnetron-based systems to modern solid-state units for better performance and lower lifecycle costs.
