Furuno DRS12AX 12kW UHD Digital Radar w/Pedestal 15M Cable & 4' Open Array Antenna

Unlock Superior Visibility on the Water with X-Class Innovation

Imagine navigating through dense fog or spotting distant threats with crystal-clear precision. The Furuno DRS12AX redefines marine radar performance by blending ultra-high-definition imaging with powerhouse 12kW output. Mariners who demand the edge in safety and efficiency swear by its ability to deliver sharp echoes at distances up to 96 nautical miles, while excelling in close-quarters detection down to just 20 meters. This isn't just radar—it's a game-changer for offshore adventures, commercial ops, or weekend cruises.

What sets it apart? A complete overhaul in engineering, from the featherweight pedestal to whisper-quiet operation, ensures it integrates seamlessly into your setup without the usual hassles. Whether you're dodging unlit vessels at night or chasing schools of fish, this system heightens awareness like never before.

Revolutionized Target Detection for Every Scenario

Short-range clutter? Vanished. Long-range ghosts? Crystalized. The DRS12AX's advanced signal processing sharpens images in UHD quality, pulling targets out of noise that lesser radars miss. Bird Mode transforms it into a fisherman's ally, highlighting avian activity to reveal prime feeding grounds beneath the surface. No more guesswork—targets pop with unmatched clarity, boosting your confidence in crowded harbors or open seas.

Pro tip: Pair its sensitivity tweaks with your chartplotter's overlay for a 360-degree tactical view, turning potential hazards into manageable blips.

Fast Target Tracking: Commercial-Grade smarts for Recreational Boaters

Borrowed from Furuno's pro-series FAR3000, Fast Target Tracking activates with a single touch. Watch as vectors instantly plot course, speed, and predicted paths for up to 100 targets. In high-traffic zones, this feature slashes reaction times, letting you anticipate collisions or optimize pursuit of moving objects.

Real-world edge: During regattas or patrols, vectors provide at-a-glance intel, freeing your focus for helm decisions rather than mental math.

Sleeker Design, Simpler Setup, and Silent Performance

Shedding 20% of its predecessor's weight, the updated pedestal glides into place effortlessly. A revamped motor dials down noise to near-silent levels, preserving onboard tranquility. Skip the external power supply—it's built-in for leaner installs. The smart-connector cable snaps in without tools or disassembly, minimizing downtime during commissioning or upgrades.

Included 4-foot open array antenna sweeps a wide arc for broad coverage, while the 15-meter cable offers flexible mounting options from flybridge to arch. It's engineered for endurance in salt spray and vibration, standing up to years of relentless exposure.

Seamless Integration and Power Considerations

Designed for modern NavNet ecosystems like TZtouch, TZtouch2, and TZtouch3, it overlays radar data fluidly onto multifunction displays. Note its 24V native operation—ideal for larger vessels, with straightforward adaptation for 12V setups via common converters.

Customization shines here: Fine-tune pulse lengths and gain for specific conditions, from rain-squashed returns to ice-cluttered poles.

Why Boaters Choose DRS12AX for Next-Level Navigation

From yacht deliveries across oceans to charter fleets in the tropics, users report fewer false alarms and truer bearings. Fishfinders love Bird Mode's precision; safety officers appreciate the tracking vectors during SAR ops. It's not oversized power—it's intelligent power, scaling output to match your needs without overwhelming smaller craft.

• Spot birds from miles away to home in on bait balls.
• Track erratic targets in swells with vector stability.
• Enjoy clutter-free screens for fatigue-free watches.
