Furuno FAR1500 Series X‑Band Black Box Radar Systems

Models: FAR1513 | FAR1523

The Furuno FAR1500 Series sets a new standard for commercial‑grade radar systems in a compact black‑box design. Built for professional navigation and safety, these radars combine powerful transmission, intuitive control, and enhanced target recognition technologies to deliver outstanding situational awareness even in harsh conditions.

Equipped with a modern control unit featuring dedicated gain, sea, and rain clutter knobs, a RotoKey, and touchscreen interface, operators can quickly adjust and optimize image clarity. The ACE (Automatic Clutter Elimination) mode automatically tunes suppression filters and gain for real‑time optimization in calm, rough, or rainy conditions.

The Target Analyzer function identifies target motion type and relative threat through dynamic color differentiation, helping users instantly distinguish between stationary, moving, and approaching vessels. Coupled with fast ARPA tracking and color‑coded speed vectors, this radar provides precise navigation confidence.

Offered in 12 kW and 25 kW transmitter versions, both systems operate in the X‑Band frequency and support 4 ft or 6 ft open‑array antennas (sold separately), delivering detection ranges up to 96 nautical miles.
