Koden MDC-2900
The Koden MDC-2900 is a series of radar stations developed by Koden. These stations have been certified by RMRS and are suitable for installation on vessels with a gross tonnage of up to 10,000 registered tons.
The series consists of various models that vary in power output, range scales, and other specifications. Each station features a convenient TT (ARPA) function, which can track up to 60 targets and enhances navigational safety by displaying the latest maneuvers of nearby vessels on the screen.
The DSP™ signal processing technology ensures excellent target separation and stable visualization of moving objects. Additionally, the stations can be equipped with the capability to overlay C-Map maps onto radar images, and they support the AIS interface, allowing for the connection of an AIS receiver to display information such as the name, direction, and speed of each vessel with an installed automatic identification system transmitter.
