Furuno DRS25AX 25kW UHD Digital Radar w/Pedestal, 15M Cable & 4 Open Array

The Furuno DRS25A-X ultra-high-definition digital open array radar provides exceptional long-range target tracking when commercial vessels voyage through low-visibility blue waters. Thick coastal fog and sudden maritime squalls regularly hide smaller vessels, blinding traditional commercial receivers. Installing this high-power digital magnetron system delivers outstanding target detection, preventing hazardous collision incidents during offshore navigation lines.

This ultra high definition radar utilizes a powerful 25kW magnetron pulse transmitter. Unlike lower-tier closed radomes that lose target focus near the horizon, this highly optimized marine radar delivers clear target identification across a massive 96 nautical mile range. The cast pedestal achieves an IP56 waterproofing standard. This rugged housing isolates internal components from saltwater spray, making the integrated digital signal processing highly effective.

Why Choose This Radar over Generic Alternatives

Selecting the premium Furuno DRS25A-X digital radar is crucial for professional commercial operators and serious offshore sportfishers. Unlike basic radome sensors that blur closely spaced targets, this 4ft open array provides a sharp 1.9-degree horizontal beamwidth. It delivers elite target isolation up to 96 nautical miles, making sure captains avoid dangerous communication and tracking dropouts across busy shipping lanes safely.

Application & Limitations

This 25kW open array radar delivers top-tier performance on large commercial fishing vessels, motor yachts, and workboats over 45 feet. However, because its heavy cast pedestal and 4ft antenna generate a combined weight of 55.1 lbs, it cannot mount safely on light center consoles. Additionally, its maximum active processing draw consumes 115W on a 24V DC rail, requiring a high-capacity power bank setup.
