Furuno DRS12ANXT/4 Radar Pedestal 4' Array - 15M Cable
Furuno DRS12ANXT/4 Radar Pedestal 4' Array - 15M Cable — Product description
Unlock Superior Situational Awareness on the Water
Imagine navigating through dense fog, spotting schools of fish from afar, or dodging unexpected threats with confidence. The Furuno DRS12ANXT/4 delivers that edge with its cutting-edge solid-state Doppler technology packed into a compact 4-foot open array design. Unlike traditional radars that require warm-up time, this unit powers up instantly, providing reliable performance whether you're cruising coastal waters or venturing offshore.
Crafted for seamless integration with NavNet TZtouch2 and TZtouch3 multifunction displays, it transforms your helm into a command center. Mariners rave about its ability to cut through clutter, revealing clear images even in challenging conditions like heavy rain or choppy seas. It's not just a radar—it's your vigilant watchman, enhancing safety and efficiency on every voyage.
Standout Features That Set It Apart
- Target Analyzer™: Echoes shift to red for approaching dangers and green for receding or stationary ones, alerting you instantly without relying on your vessel's speed.
- Fast Target Tracking™: Select a contact, and within seconds, get precise speed and course vectors—perfect for collision avoidance and maneuvering.
- Bird Mode: Automatically tunes gain and sea clutter for spotting flocks at dawn or dusk, a game-changer for sportfishing enthusiasts.
- Rain Mode: Highlights storm cells in blue, letting you steer clear while maintaining target visibility behind precipitation.
- RezBoost™ Technology: Sharpens resolution to rival larger arrays, delivering exceptional short-range detail down to 50 yards.
- ARPA Radar: Tracks up to 100 targets per sweep, ideal for busy harbors or fleet operations.
With 100W output and X-band precision, it punches up to 96 nautical miles, balancing power and efficiency on 12-24 VDC systems.
Real-World Performance for Every Boater
For offshore adventurers, the DRS12ANXT/4 excels at long-range target acquisition, helping you monitor weather fronts or distant vessels hours ahead. Anglers benefit from its clutter-free bird detection, turning speculative drifts into productive hauls. Commercial operators appreciate the robust build and low maintenance of solid-state design—no magnetron to replace means fewer downtimes.
Pair it with your existing Furuno ecosystem for a unified interface. The included 15-meter cable simplifies pedestal installation, while the 1.9-degree beam width ensures pinpoint accuracy. Users often note how it reduces false echoes from nearby boats or buoys, providing a cleaner picture that builds trust over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Target Analyzer™ improve safety?
It uses Doppler processing to color-code targets: red for those closing in on your position, green for others. This visual cue works regardless of your speed, helping you react faster to potential collisions.
Is the DRS12ANXT/4 suitable for fishing?
Absolutely. Bird Mode optimizes settings to detect flocks over reefs or bait balls, giving you a huge advantage in locating prime fishing spots.
What's the difference between solid-state and traditional radars?
Solid-state radars like this one offer instant boot-up, longer lifespan, and advanced signal processing without a fragile magnetron, resulting in sharper images and less maintenance.
Can it track multiple targets?
Yes, ARPA mode handles up to 100 targets simultaneously, displaying vectors for quick assessment in crowded waters.
Does Rain Mode affect overall performance?
No—it isolates rain clutter in blue while preserving target echoes, so you navigate storms confidently without losing sight of key objects.
How compact is the 4-foot array?
The 4-foot design fits most vessels without dominating the profile, yet delivers beam sharpening akin to bigger units via RezBoost™.

Furuno DRS12ANXT 100 Watt Solid-State Doppler Radar with 4' antenna
Model: DRS12ANXT/4The Furuno NXT Radar is the next step in Radar evolution; a Solid-State Radar with pulse compression, Target Analyzer™ and Fast Target Tracking™ utilizing Doppler technology. Combined with FURUNO exclusive RezBoost™ technology for beam sharpening, NXT packs the performance of a larger Radar in a more compact package.
NXT was the first Radar in the world to use the new Furuno exclusive Target Analyzer™ function, where targets that are approaching your vessel automatically change color. Green targets are targets that stay stationary, or are moving away from you, while red targets are moving towards your vessel. Target Analyzer™ works independent of vessel speed, both your own vessels and target vessels, with minor limitations. Echoes dynamically change colors as targets approach, or get farther away from your vessel. Target Analyzer™ can increase safety, as well as improve situational awareness.
Once a target has been selected, a speed and course vector is displayed in seconds. With accurate tracking information, estimation of other vessel's course and speed is greatly simplified. With Doppler technology, any vessel approaching yours will automatically display a target vector, as well as sound an alarm.
For the first time Furuno's exclusive RezBoost™ technology is used in one of our Radar units, with impressive performance. With RezBoost™ set to MAX, the sharpness of a much larger open array antenna can be achieved.
