Beam Sharpening
Marketing use
Broadband 4G Radar is the only dome radar in the world
to employ beam sharpening. This allows the user to control
the beam angle and the level of target separation, so the
sharpest images possible are achieved.
More Range
True range has been improved by 50% over the previous
generation of Broadband Radar. See crystal clear targets up
to 32nm away and inside strong storm cells more than 17nm
away.
Dual Range
Capable of displaying Dual Range radar combination when
combined with an NSE or NSO system. Monitor targets at 10
meters and up-to 32nm simultaneously using just a single
dome.
High Speed Mode
Select 48 RPM for almost instant updating at less than 1nm.

The Simrad ARGUS radar is an IMO approved Radar system that
provides useful features for patrol vessels that are used in multi-
functional operational modes. The system can operate as a
standard IMO approved ARPA radar but also offers unique options
to integrate 4G Broadband Radars or the Oil Spill Detection
Module. With the Oil Spill Detection Module comes the ability
for Ice Detection and Navigation as well as a special Small Target
Detection mode.
Oil Spill Detection
ARGUS ability to combine up to six antennas controlled in
one display, virtually eliminates blind spots and optimizes the
performance of radar modes either its for Navigation, Docking or
Oil Spill Tracking.
