“ In Greek mythology, Argus Panoptes, or Argos, guardian of the heifer-nymph Io and son of Arestor, was a primordial giant whose epithet “Panoptes”, “all-seeing”, led to his being described with multiple, often one hundred, eyes.”

Product Description

State of the art X-band radarSimrad introduces a new series of improved X-band radars which provide mariners with even better detection capability. The new configuration is characterized by reduced weight, small dimensions and compact electronics thereby offering the proper solution for installation even on small High Speed Crafts.

X-band offering:• Gearbox with 12 or 25 kW up-mast transceiver• 6’ or 9’ antennas


Product Description

Key features• State of the art professional X-band radar• Available in 12 and 25 kW versions• Approved for IMO vessels• Separate processor, monitor and operation panel• 40 target ARPA feature as standard• Wide screen color monitor option• Superior signal processing• Significantly larger target presentation area• Seamless use of up to four antennas• Optional Advanced Oil Spill and Ice Detection feature

The Simrad ARGUS radars fully complies and exceeds IMO regulations. Thanks to the modular design, they can be either assembled to form a stand-alone display cabinet or be flush mounted into a mechanical bridge console.The standard configuration always includes full ARPA, AIS and an electronic built-in Interswitch for dual radar installations.

Trouble free installation / service with Snap-on connector

The interface with the radar console is through a single connector and it is not necessary to open the transceiver casing during installation. Every analogue adjustment is made remotely from the ARGUS console.• Easy installation. The radar cable snaps on from the outside ensuring quick, easy and trouble free installation.• Easy service. With the connector on the outside, there are no cables that need removal or are in the way of easy servicing. Choose between pre-terminated or open end cables in selected lengths.

“ This is the easiest radar we have ever installed. That gives us an advantage against the competition when we are quoting package deals.”

Greek distributor Peter Spanos, MD -after having installed three systems

Anti-piracy and docking radar applications

Protect | Detect | LocateNote! Broadband radar integration is pending type approval and the function will not be released nor included in the price book until such approval is received

Cooperation with Consilium



Product descriptionBuilding an Anti-Piracy System

The SIMRAD ARGUS system introduces some key features that tackle the problem of piracy of the merchant fleet and yachts. By utilizing the system’s ability to merge two high powered scanners to detect the smallest targets possible at a distance and the integration of Broadband Radar’s* close range performance and ultra low radiation, fleet owners can build an anti-piracy system into the navigation display.

Pirates typically attack vessels underway and at night from behind to avoid being seen on the Navigational radar. They very often approach in small skiffs hard to detect in-between waves with 4-8 pirates on board. Sometimes with two - three boats together and using a Mother ship as base. So far evasive ship maneuvers seem to be the best action hindering boarding and an attack can last several hours before giving up. Pirates are also attacking while ships are atanchorage.

* Broadband Radar integration pending type approval


Product descriptionNavigational Radars are typically mounted in front of smokestacks and are therefore focused forward looking. The sheer size of the scanner prevents mounting in strategic places.The ARGUS has the ability to merge two high powered antennas to find small targets in-between ocean waves, display long and short range simultaneously and zoom in on and track suspicious targets. The ARGUS also has the ability to integrate Broadband Radar and display Pulse and Broadband simultaneously in one single display overview with uncompromised IMO performance.Tighten the Blind ZonesThe Broadband Radar* component provides complete close range coverage within the pulse radar’s blind spot. Targets can be monitored and detected within a 5m range ensuring that all potential threats are monitored.Anti-Piracy



Product descriptionDocking radar

With the optional Broadband Radar’s* close range performance, the navigator or pilot can monitor the vessel relative to the dock or other structure close up to the point of contact. Total flexibility of installation is available due to ultra low radiation hazard enablingscanner location that is not possible with pulse radars’ inherent radiation.

Advanced Oil Spill and Ice detection Software (OSID)


Product description

With the optional Advanced OSID module installed, the Simrad ARGUS system provides the navigator with both the unique Oil Spill Detection software and the special Ice Navigator features.The navigator can use the radar display as a normal ARPA radar and then easily switch over to the oil spill function as required, enhancing the functionality and providing a comprehensive oil spill response tool.The ARGUS radar is the perfect tool for ships in Arctic waters. The Advanced OSID software provides special STC shape for optimal suppression of iced sea clutter and easy interpretation of small objects and echoes over ice. The result is that new ice pathways or rough areas in the ice banks are clearly visible making water easilybe detected.A Master/Slave inter-switch board is provided as an integral part of the ARGUS radar system. This means that the oil-spill and ice detection displays can easily be interfaced to all on-board radar sensors. The Advanced OSID Software also enables an increase of the antenna rotation speed up to 44 revolutions per minute andthe advanced video processing allows for operation under all kinds of visibility conditions.
