Sea-Hawk proudly present - SHN 4000 Polarimetric radar system. This radar is designed for use within Merchant shipping, Offshore, Fishing & Coast Guard, for users looking for advanced surface radars. Our detection performance is superior to any standard radar system.
Sea-Hawk Navigation AS has developed a new radar for detection of oil spill on sea surface. This multi polarized radar, called SHN 4000, is developed particularly for the purpose of detecting changes in the wave patterns. A sudden change of wave patterns could be an indication of oil floating on sea surface. The high performance of the radar sensor gives a detection range which is up to 4 times longer than existing radar sensors. Combined with its extremely good performance in bad weather the SHN 4000 can offer close to 24/7 surveillance, warning and monitoring in 3rd party delivered oil detection software.
The sensor is encapsulated in a 3,75 meter diameter radome designed and manufactured according to the Explosive Atmospheres directive 94/9/EC. It may therefore be installed in gas exposed areas (EX-zones) on for example an offshore oil production platform. The sensor can also be delivered without pneumatic equipment and EX-certification for installation in shore-based areas where such requirements do not apply.
Typical users for SHN 4000 are offshore exploration and production companies for use on oil and gas production units (platforms, drill rigs, FPSO’s). The radar sensor can be delivered for parallel multi-tasking like oil spill and ice detection, surface objects detection/tracking (vessels and small objects).
