Advanced Doppler Radar Capabilities
The DRS2DNXT represents a quantum leap in marine radar technology, being the world's first radar to incorporate Furuno's exclusive Target Analyzer™ function utilizing sophisticated Doppler technology for real-time collision avoidance.
Target Analyzer™ Technology
Automatic Threat Assessment
Targets approaching your vessel automatically display in red, while stationary or receding targets appear in green. This instant visual differentiation allows immediate threat assessment regardless of your vessel's speed or heading.
Dynamic Color Coding
Target colors change dynamically as vessels alter course or speed, providing real-time situational updates that enhance collision avoidance decision-making.
Independent Operation
Target Analyzer™ works independently of both your vessel's speed and target vessel speeds, with only minor limitations, ensuring consistent performance across all operating conditions.
Fast Target Tracking™ System
Revolutionary Fast Target Tracking™ technology provides instant course and speed vectors for any selected target, dramatically improving your ability to assess potential collision situations and plan evasive maneuvers.
Tracking Advantages
- Instant Vector Display: Speed and course information appears within seconds of target selection
- Automatic Approach Alerts: Approaching vessels trigger both visual vectors and audible alarms
- Simplified Assessment: Easy estimation of other vessels' intentions and trajectories
- Enhanced Safety: Rapid threat evaluation enables timely collision avoidance actions

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Target Analyzer technology improve safety compared to traditional radar?
Target Analyzer automatically color-codes targets based on their approach status - red for approaching vessels, green for stationary or receding targets. This instant visual threat assessment allows immediate identification of potential collision situations without manual calculation, significantly improving reaction time and safety.
What is the advantage of solid-state radar over magnetron-based systems?
Solid-state radar eliminates magnetron maintenance, provides instant-on operation, delivers consistent power output, and offers enhanced reliability. The 25W pulse compression technology provides excellent performance while consuming less power and requiring no warm-up time.
How does RezBoost technology improve radar performance?
RezBoost beam sharpening technology achieves the target separation performance of a 2-degree beam width from the physical 5.2-degree antenna. This provides superior target resolution and separation capabilities typically found only in much larger, more expensive radar systems.
What NavNet systems are compatible with the DRS2DNXT?
The DRS2DNXT is compatible with NavNet TZtouch, TZtouch2, and TZtouch3 chartplotter systems. It integrates seamlessly with these displays to provide radar overlay on charts and full radar functionality through familiar touchscreen interfaces.
What is the maximum detection range of this radar system?
The DRS2DNXT provides a maximum detection range of 48 nautical miles, making it suitable for coastal navigation, offshore passages, and commercial marine operations requiring long-range target detection capabilities.
How quickly does Fast Target Tracking provide speed and course information?
Fast Target Tracking displays speed and course vectors within seconds of target selection. Approaching vessels automatically display target vectors and trigger alarms, providing immediate situational awareness for collision avoidance decision-making.
