Raymarine HD Radomes – 4 kW magnetron radar for commercial mariners & first responders
Raymarine HD Radomes are 4 kW magnetron radar systems designed for commercial mariners, workboats, pilot vessels and first responders who need proven radar performance in demanding marine conditions. Trusted by the United States Coast Guard, HD Radomes provide reliable target detection and situational awareness in rain, sea clutter and congested waterways.
Built around Raymarine’s high‑performance transmitter and best‑in‑class receiver design, HD Radomes deliver consistent target returns and lifelike target presentation. Their compact radome footprint makes them ideal for small to mid‑size commercial and response craft, while full compatibility with the Raymarine Axiom chartplotter family ensures smooth radar/chart integration on modern bridge systems.
