Raymarine Pathfinder – Solid‑state commercial radar for IMO‑regulated vessels
The Raymarine Pathfinder is a next‑generation solid‑state commercial radar engineered for IMO‑regulated SOLAS CAT 1, CAT 2 and CAT 3 vessels, including cargo ships, offshore support vessels (OSVs), naval craft and large superyachts. Built around a fanless, low‑profile 6‑foot open‑array antenna, Pathfinder delivers exceptional target separation and long‑range clarity using advanced solid‑state technology.
Fully compliant with IMO performance standards IEC 62288 and IEC 62388, Pathfinder offers enhanced longevity, reduced maintenance and reliable situational awareness in demanding maritime conditions. Designed for regulated fleets operating in busy waterways, offshore fields and naval/coastal missions, Pathfinder provides a modern solid‑state alternative to traditional 12kW magnetron radars.
Key features
