format will be the same height as conventional displays but will be distinctly broader. Raytheon Anschütz offers an increased, quadratic target area on the radar screen (PPI). Te user controls a larger area of the display and needs to change the range less oſten. Te redesigned presentation of the radar screen allows a clear display of all control functions and status indications. Te NSC radar reduces submenus and offers an intuitive and direct operation of all important controls. Te new radar presentation will go hand in hand with


the unique user interface of NSC radars, where all operator buttons (e.g. TM / RM) are used for combined operator and status applications to help save on space and de-clutter the display. Te radar screen will appear simplified and well structured with consistent large visual area buttons, which provide safe operation even during heavy seas. Due to a common operating philosophy, it is possible to operate all radar functions with an ergonomic trackball. An operation panel with rotary knobs and soſt keys is still available directly to control important functions such as gain, anti-clutter, bearing and range controls. Disturbances of the radar image caused by heavy seas


(seaclutter) can be compensated with an auto-mode, reducing manual settings on a minimum. To combat clutter caused by rain, the NSC radar offers, apart from the common FTC function, the patented Raytheon RainRate function, which measures the actual rain attenuation and applies continuous filtering. All NSC radars are fitted with the innovative SeaScout

a mounted door plus telescopic gangway, a hydraulic unit (HPU), a control panel, and side railings, which come up automatically when the gangway is extended. Te unit, which is powered by an onboard 230V


system, is manually controlled through valves placed beneath the gangway. In the locked position, the door fits tightly against a rubber gasket in the coaming. Te steel door itself is hinged to the coaming, and is stiffened in order to be as structurally strong as the ship’s side. It is locked by means of a hydraulic cylinder, operating two locking cleats mounted in the coaming. When the door is lowered and placed on the quay,


the gangway has a free-float function to absorb tidewater and swell movements occurring between the ship and the quay. As an option, the gangway is also available with a swing movement (0-90deg) along the ship’s side.


Brude Safety’s latest aluminium gangway.
