Navigate with confidence on the open water using the Furuno FR-12, a versatile 12.1-inch color LCD marine radar display designed for seamless integration into your vessel's setup. This dedicated vertical display pairs effortlessly with Furuno's DRS series antennas, delivering customizable radar performance tailored to your boating needs—whether you're charting coastal waters, tracking fish, or ensuring safe passage in crowded marinas.
What sets the FR-12 apart is its blend of cutting-edge visualization tools and intuitive controls, empowering skippers to make split-second decisions. From spotting distant targets in rough seas to overlaying radar data on electronic charts, this display transforms raw radar echoes into actionable insights, enhancing situational awareness without overwhelming the helm.
Imagine scanning the horizon and instantly seeing potential collision zones highlighted around your boat. Risk Visualizer™ plots the trajectories of nearby vessels based on their speed and course, using a color-coded system—green for safe, yellow for caution, red for immediate threats. This groundbreaking tool reduces reaction times during busy shipping lanes or foggy conditions, prioritizing safety without constant manual adjustments.
No more waiting for vectors to stabilize. Fast Target Tracking™ locks onto moving objects right away, displaying real-time speed and heading lines. Ideal for monitoring fast-approaching traffic or erratic fishing boats, it starts tracking automatically, giving you reliable data from the first echo for proactive maneuvering.
Cut through clutter by letting Target Analyzer™ differentiate dangerous targets from benign ones. It assigns colors based on collision risk—red for high danger, orange for medium, green for low—allowing you to focus on what's critical. This is especially valuable during night watches or in high-traffic areas where every second counts.
High waves, rain squalls, or sea spray often scramble radar images, but Echo Average smooths out these distractions. By averaging echoes over time, it sharpens images of buoys, vessels, and gear while fading noise, ensuring you maintain visibility when conditions turn nasty.
Boost resolution on the fly with RezBoost™ for spotting small objects like kayaks or debris at longer ranges. Pair it with True Echo Trail to see precise motion history unaffected by your boat's turns, perfect for true motion navigation in dynamic environments.
The FR-12 thrives on versatility, connecting to Furuno's full lineup of DRS antennas—from compact radomes like the DRS2D-NXT and DRS4D-NXT for shorter-range coastal cruising, to high-power open arrays such as DRS12A-NXT and X-Class models for offshore adventures. Choose based on your range needs: up to 36 NM with DRS4DL+, or pushing 96 NM with top-tier X-Class units.
This modularity lets you scale power output and antenna size to match your vessel, from sportfishers to superyachts, without compromising on performance.
Overlay radar echoes directly on compatible charts for a unified helm view, making landfalls and waypoint navigation smoother. When networked with Furuno plotters like the GP-3700/F, share custom marks and lines across displays. Multi-language menus and programmable keys adapt to your workflow, while AIS integration displays vessel data alongside radar for comprehensive traffic monitoring.

Built for the demands of marine life, the FR-12 combines Furuno's solid-state radar tech with a rugged, vertical design that fits tight consoles. It's not just about seeing farther—it's about seeing smarter. Fishermen appreciate bird detection in NXT antennas for locating bait schools, while commercial operators value the reduced maintenance of solid-state over magnetron systems. User-friendly yet packed with pro features, it elevates any setup without a steep learning curve.
The FR-12 pairs with DRS series antennas, including radomes like DRS2D-NXT and DRS4D-NXT, and open arrays such as DRS6A-NXT up to DRS25A X-Class, offering flexibility for various range and power needs.
It visually maps potential collision zones with color-coded alerts (green to red), showing surrounding vessel movements for quick threat assessment and evasive action.
Yes, it supports radar overlay on MapMedia MM3D charts and shares marks/lines via Ethernet with compatible Furuno plotters like the GP-3700/F.
Absolutely—Echo Average filters sea clutter and rain, while features like Target Analyzer™ and RezBoost™ ensure clear target discrimination in waves, fog, or precipitation.
Head-up, Course-up, North-up, True motion, and Stern-up modes, plus True Echo Trail for accurate motion tracking regardless of your vessel's heading.
Yes, it displays AIS targets alongside radar echoes, with customizable overlays for enhanced traffic awareness.
It runs on 12-24 VDC with low consumption (1.7-0.9 A), making it efficient for battery-powered setups.
FR-12 Color LCD Marine Radar Display - 12"
The FR-10 and the FR-12 10.4"/12.1" Color LCD Radars are Marine Radar displays consisting of a dedicated vertical display unit that can be freely combined with Furuno’s extensive DRS Series Antennas to meet a wide variety of detection needs. These Radars feature the latest technologies including Risk Visualizer™, a new function that provides visual information on potential collision areas and movement of all surrounding vessels, as well as Echo Average, Target Analyzer™, Fast Target Tracking™, RezBoost™, and many other great functions to help you keep track of any target for your navigation and operations such as Custom AIS, User-Programmable function keys and Multi-language support.
Compatible with Furuno’s powerful antenna line-up
The FR-10 and FR-12 are compatible with any of the DRS Series Antennas, allowing for a variety of configurations. By selecting the detection range (power output), screen size, and antenna type and size based on what you want to accomplish, you can build the Radar that best meets your needs.

Radome type:
Risk Visualizer™
Risk Visualizer™ is a technology that shows potential collision areas based on the current position and movement of all surrounding vessels. Thanks to the on-screen display, it is easy to get a quick and intuitive overview of the situation around your ship. Additionally, color-coded alerts according to the threat of a collision, from green (normal) to red (hazardous), will help you assess the level of danger and plan your next move. This is our first commercial mid-range Radar to incorporate this feature, which contributes to the continuous improvement of safety at sea.
Fast Target Tracking™
Fast Target Tracking™ is a technology that instantaneously displays a vector indicating the speed and heading of the target. The targets are automatically tracked from the beginning, making it possible to immediately calculate the target's trajectory and display the velocity vector.
Target Analyzer™
Target Analyzer™ is a technology that analyzes targets and identifies the dangerous ones that are likely to collide with your ship, using different colors according to the degree of danger. The display of potentially dangerous targets in different colors allows an operator to understand threats to safe navigation at a glance.
Echo Average
Echo Average is a feature that attenuates irregular echoes, such as reflections from the sea surface and precipitation, and stabilizes echoes from fishing gear and other vessels. It makes it easier to see what you want to see, even in poor weather conditions such as high waves, precipitation, or dense fog.
Radar overlay on charts/Share points and lines
The FR-12 can show Radar echoes overlaid on MapMedia MM3D charts. Additionally, when connected to the GP-3700/F* via Ethernet, marks, and lines can be displayed.
