The Nucleus3 5000 ATA and 6000 ARPA will be fitted in the SeaCat Scotland, a high speed catamaran ferry which will sail between Belfast in Northern Ireland and Troon in Scotland.

The radar automatically tracks surrounding targets at speeds up to 40 knots, for example, picking out buoys safely in heavy rain when navigating only by radar.

Nucleus3 uses the latest in radar technology and offers a wide range of sophisticated and flexible operating modes.

Features include automatic tracking of up to 50 targets at any one time as well as an integral training simulator.
