K-Bridge ARPA radar is our latest series of type approved ARPA
radars. It is provided as a stand alone ARPA radar or as a fully integrated part
of the K-Bridge integrated navigation system. It provides superior target tracking
and has advanced navigation integration with multi-sensor input. K-Bridge can include
electronic chart functions and automatic navigation and track steering when part
of a K-Bridge integrated bridge system. The colour display presents a square radar
picture, which gives an increased active radar display area for better traffic surveillance.
A dedicated operator panel gives ease of operation
