Marine RADAR, Navigation RADAR, Black Box RADAR, PC RADAR

Radar—originally coined in 1941 as an acronym for Radio Detection and Ranging—is a critical system for modern maritime navigation. It uses electromagnetic waves to detect range, speed, direction, and positioning of nearby vessels, landmasses, and obstacles. Without RADAR, mariners are blind to their surroundings in poor visibility.

Applications and System Integration

RADAR systems are foundational to navigation safety and situational awareness aboard vessels of all sizes. Marine RADAR can be integrated with chartplotters, GPS, and AIS to deliver a complete real-time view of surrounding waters. Whether standalone or PC-based, these systems are engineered for reliability in the harshest environments.

History and Innovation

From WWII origins to today's solid-state marvels, marine RADAR has undergone revolutionary changes. Early analog systems have given way to high-definition digital RADAR with target tracking, motion analysis, and ARPA overlays. PSI provides advanced RADAR solutions from top manufacturers that support safety, efficiency, and compliance for professional fleets.
