Building an Anti-Piracy System
The SIMRAD ARGUS system introduces some key features that tackle the problem
of piracy of the merchant fleet and yachts. By utilizing Broadband Radar’s* close
range performance and zero radiation, fleet owners can build an anti-piracy
system into the navigation display. Pirates typically attack vessels underway and
at night from behind to avoid being seen on the Navigational radar. They very
often approach in small skiffs hard to detect in-between waves with 4-8 pirates
on board. Sometimes with two - three boats together and using a Mother ship
as base. So far evasive ship manoeuvers seem to be the best action hindering
boarding and an attack can last several hours before giving up. Pirates are also
attacking while ships are at anchorage.
Navigational Radars are typically mounted in front of smokestacks and are
therefore focused forward looking. The sheer size of the scanner prevents mounting in strategic places.
The ARGUS has the ability to merge two high powered antennas to find small targets in-between ocean waves, display long and short
range simultaneously and zoom in on and track suspicious targets.
The ARGUS also has the ability to integrate Broadband Radar and display Pulse and Broadband simultaneously in one single display
overview with uncompromised IMO performance.

Tighten the Blind Zones

The Broadband Radar* component provides complete close range coverage within the pulse radar’s blind spot. Targets can be monitored
and detected within a 5m range ensuring that all potential threats are monitored.

Docking Radar
With the optional Broadband Radar’s* close range performance, the navigator
or pilot can monitor the vessel relative to the dock or other structure right up to
the point of contact. Total flexibility
of installation is available due
to zero radiation hazard
enabling scanner location
that is not possible with
pulse radars’ inherent
radiation.

Advanced Oil Spill and Ice Detection Software (OSID)
With the optional Advanced OSID Software module installed, the
Simrad ARGUS system provides the navigator with both the unique
Oil Spill Detection software and the special Ice Navigator features.
The navigator can use the radar display as a normal ARPA radar
and then easily switch over to the oil spill function as required,
enhancing the functionality and providing a comprehensive oil-
spill response tool.
The ARGUS radar is the perfect tool for ships in Arctic waters. The
Advanced OSID software provides special STC shape for optimal
suppression of iced sea clutter and easy interpretation of small

objects and echoes over ice. The result is that new ice pathways or
rough areas in the ice banks are clearly visible making water easily
be detected.
A Master/Slave inter-switch board is provided as an integral part
of the ARGUS radar system. This means that the oil-spill and ice
detection displays can easily be interfaced to all on-board radar
sensors. The Advanced OSID Software also enables an increase of
the antenna rotation speed up to 44 revolutions per minute and
the advanced video processing allows for operation under all kinds
of visibility conditions.
