Guidance Navigation RadaScan Mini-Responder Series 2

Product Overview

The Guidance Navigation RadaScan Mini-Responder Series 2 is a marine microwave positioning responder engineered for offshore dynamic positioning operations, designed in accordance with IMCA marine DP standard and Guidance Navigation RadaScan positioning system specification. Built for microwave signal transponding, real-time range & bearing feedback, unique target identification, the responder withstands harsh offshore weather and salt spray environments, delivers stable continuous operation, and provides reliable positioning reference for DP vessels operating near offshore platforms, FPSO and floating structures.

Featuring 360-degree microwave antenna, unique coded ID module & ATEX certified intrinsically safe housing. Both fixed platform and temporary bracket mounting are supported, adapting to limited installation space on offshore assets and vessel decks. The modular assembly allows battery pack replacement without dismantling the whole responder unit, greatly reducing equipment downtime for service. Equipped with low power consumption circuit, operation status indicator & weatherproof enclosure, mature hardware structure guarantees continuous positioning signal transmission during continuous duty.

For dependable microwave signal transponding, real-time range & bearing feedback, unique target identification, this RadaScan Mini-Responder Series 2 replies to radar interrogation signals from vessel RadaScan sensor. Reliable microwave signal transponding, real-time range & bearing feedback, unique target identification, premium marine grade electronic components provide excellent resistance to humidity and salt corrosion, extending service life in harsh offshore working environments. Practical low power consumption circuit, operation status indicator & weatherproof enclosure, stable signal output lowers positioning deviation during long-hour operation, ensuring accurate DP positioning under variable sea and weather conditions.

During continuous microwave signal transponding, real-time range & bearing feedback, unique target identification, this responder unit is widely fitted on offshore platforms, FPSO and floating production units, fully compatible with Guidance Navigation Mini-RadaScan and RadaScan View systems. Stable microwave signal transponding, real-time range & bearing feedback, unique target identification, mature Guidance Navigation marine positioning technology with easy spare parts replacement and convenient after-sales maintenance. Robust low power consumption circuit, operation status indicator & weatherproof enclosure, simplifies field mounting layout and reduces installation workload for offshore DP retrofitting and marine positioning system overhaul projects.
