Discover Superior Situational Awareness on the Water

Imagine navigating through foggy inlets or scanning the horizon for distant storms while keeping a sharp eye on nearby traffic—all without compromising safety or simplicity. The Simrad HALO 2006 radar system, equipped with a 6-foot open array antenna and 20-meter cable, transforms how boaters experience marine radar. This solid-state powerhouse packs 50W of effective power, rivaling traditional high-output systems, to deliver crystal-clear detection from intimate close-range targets at 6 meters out to impressive 72 nautical miles. Whether you're a weekend cruiser, serious offshore angler, or professional captain, this radar elevates your confidence with advanced tech that feels intuitive right from the start.

Crafted for real-world boating challenges, it leverages pulse compression and beam sharpening to cut through clutter, revealing hazards, vessels, and even bird flocks that signal prime fishing spots. No more guessing games with weather or traffic—get actionable insights that keep you one step ahead.

Key Technologies That Set It Apart

• Pulse Compression with Beam Sharpening: Generates razor-sharp images, separating small or far-off targets that lesser radars miss. Perfect for threading tight marinas or spotting debris in choppy seas.
• Simultaneous Dual Range: Monitor close-in obstacles like buoys and speeding skiffs while tracking remote squalls—seamlessly splitting your display for total coverage.
• ZoneTrack™ Tracking: Define up to two custom zones and automatically monitor 50 targets each, plotting their speed and course to predict crossings.
• VelocityTrack™ Doppler: Color-codes moving objects—red for approaching dangers, green for receding—making collision risks pop instantly.
• Dangerous Target Alerts: Prioritizes radar and AIS contacts closing on your position, flashing range, bearing, and relative heading for split-second decisions.

These aren't just features; they're tools honed from years of boater feedback, ensuring you stay safe without constant screen-watching.

Effortless Operation for Every Boater

Who has time for fiddly adjustments mid-voyage? This radar shines with one-touch preset modes tailored to common scenarios:

• Harbour Mode: Optimized for slow-speed maneuvering in crowded anchorages, minimizing clutter from wakes and reflections.
• Offshore Mode: Balances short- and long-range views for open-water passages.
• Weather Mode: Pierces rain and storm cells to reveal their intensity and path early.
• Bird Mode: Enhances detection of avian flocks, a game-changer for anglers chasing bait balls beneath.

Power up from cold start in just 16-25 seconds, or instant-on from standby. Low-emission pulses make it harbor-friendly, transmitting safely around swimmers and other boats.

Engineered for Rugged Marine Life

Built to thrive in brutal conditions, this system withstands -25°C to +55°C temperatures, relentless UV exposure, and pounding vibrations per IEC60945 standards. IPX6 waterproofing on the pedestal and antenna shrugs off heavy spray, while the RI-50 interface box handles IPX5. It spins reliably up to 80 knots of wind, with a brushless motor and electromagnetic braking for precise parking.

Physically compact for its class—6.72-foot swing circle on the 6-foot array—it weighs in balanced for easy mounting. Power draw stays efficient: averages 45-60W running, down to 11W standby, on 12V or 24V DC systems.

Performance Specs at a Glance

Why Boaters Choose This Radar System

For coastal cruisers, it's the dual-range mastery that prevents nasty surprises in traffic. Offshore adventurers love the storm-piercing clarity and bird-finding prowess that leads straight to trophy catches. Even commercial ops appreciate the upgrade path—same footprint as older models, seamless integration with popular Simrad displays.

Solid-state reliability means no magnetron burnout worries, just consistent performance season after season. Pair it with AIS for ultimate traffic awareness, or use Ethernet connectivity for networked setups. It's not just radar; it's your vigilant watchmate.
