Radar reflectors

Classic, traditional yachts are made of wood, as are many traditional ships and fishing boats. Just like GRP yachts, wooden ships are poor radar targets. In order to be seen on the radar screens of commercial shipping or other sailing yachts, a radar reflector is needed to return a radar pulse. Most reflectors commonly used on leisure vessels are passive radar reflectors - i.e. reflectors that do not retransmit the radar signal. These are available in different sizes and designs for hoisting or permanent mounting. Tube radar reflectors consist of small …

ECHOMAX EM230 MIDI radar reflector

The EM230 MIDI radar reflector from the British manufacturer ECHOMAX impresses with its outstanding reflection values. As it is less long than the EM230 MAXI model, it is particularly interesting for (smaller) yachts for which there is no equipment requirement.The housing is made of strong, white PE plastic. The metal-framed fastening eyes (D = 8 mm) can be used for screwing on or for preheating, e.g. with a flag line. The internal triple reflector made of aluminium, arranged three above each other, ensures optimum all-round reflection with a radar cross-sectional area (RCS) of 20 m².The EM230 MIDI radar reflector is suitable for preheating or fixed mounting. The stainless steel mast bracket and the stainless steel deck bracket, e.g. for mounting the reflector on the roof of the wheelhouse, are available as optional accessories. You will find both further down on this page under "Accessories".

ECHOMAX EM230i inflatable radar reflector ISAF

The space-saving, inflatable radar reflector EM230i (INFLATABLE) is ideal if the reflector is only to be used when necessary (at night, in unstable weather, in an emergency) but is part of the ship's mandatory equipment (e.g. for sea races).The reflective surface made of metallised DuPont fabric is enclosed in a tear-resistant, semi-transparent PVC cover. This has strong fixing eyes at the top, bottom and sides.The Radar Cross Sheet (RCS) is 25.6 square metres! This more than doubles the 10 square metres required for seagoing regatta yachts. The scope of delivery includes a certified QinetiQ linear diagram in case the regatta organisers want to have the RCS confirmed. This ensures that the equipment requirements of the Offshore Special Regulations (OSR) of World Sailing (formerly ISAF) or the WCC, ORC and RORC are met.When folded, the EM230i is only pocket-sized (approx. 20 x 10 x 10 cm, weight 420 g) and therefore fits easily into a grab bag for taking into the lifeboat or life raft.A 1.60 metre long, three piece glass fibre rod kit (diameter 10 mm) is available as an accessory (Article-No. 3050-018) for use there. Weight 250 g.This is inserted into two plastic eyelets glued to the reflector. The higher mounting position significantly increases the probability of being seen on a ship's radar.

ECHOMAX ACTIVE X / ACTIVE XS radar target enhancer

The ECHOMAX ACTIVE X and ACTIVE XS active radar reflector significantly increases the safety of small vessels through improved radar visibility.Radar signals from other ships in the 9 GHz X-band (or 2.9-3.1 GHz S-band) are received, amplified by the electronics and actively transmitted back. Small ships are thus recognised at a distance of around eight nautical miles instead of one to two nautical miles. This significantly reduces the risk of collision.An acoustic warning signal (can be switched off, external alarm up to 8 A can be connected) also indicates active radar units in the vicinity and thus also warns of approaching situations on the high seas.The slim reflector antenna is very suitable for mast mounting due to its low weight and low wind resistance.Supplied with 24 m cable and standard control box (dimensions: 92 x 38 x 51 mm) with switches and LED operating indicators. For 12 volt voltage.Two versions are available:ACTIVE XReceives and transmits signals on 9 GHz X-band.Power consumption < 15 mA (stand-by), approx. 32 mA (active operation with ten radar signals within range). ACTIVE XSReceives and transmits signals on 9 GHz X-band and 2.9-3.1 GHz S-band.Power consumption < 23 mA (stand-by), approx. 190 mA (X-band) and 155 mA (S-band) in active mode with ten radar signals within range.A waterproof control unit is optionally available (surface-mounted model).Any standard antenna base or a pole mount with a 1" x 14 TPI thread can be used to mount the antenna. Both can be found further down on this page under "Accessories".

… reflective plates spiralled up in long plastic tubes. Octahedral reflectors are intermateable corner reflectors and can be stored in a space-saving manner. Blipper or Echomax reflectors, on the other hand, have a cylindrical case of strong PE plastic in white or unobtrusive brown. A special feature for racing yachts, life rafts and rescue boats are lightweight inflatable radar reflectors. Active radar reflectors amplify and retransmit radar signals through a transmitter antenna. This significantly improves radar visibility and safety of small vessels.
