Advanced technologies for navigation safety
The Furuno FAR-22x8/23x8 series is a brand-new Radar series characterized by its state-of-the-art antenna design and innovative signal processing technologies. Furuno's latest, advanced technologies and intuitive design will increase situational awareness, facilitating unparalleled navigational safety.
Automatic Clutter Elimination (ACE) for unprecedented echo clarity
Quickly adjusts the Radar image with a single button press. When the ACE function is activated, the system automatically optimizes clutter reduction filters and gain control according to the sea and weather conditions.

Fast Target Tracking™ function provides early-stage collision avoidance
With Fast Target Tracking™ (TT), the FAR-22x8/23x8 series provides accurate tracking information; speed and course vectors are displayed in mere seconds allowing operators to take action and avoid incidents at a very early stage.
See potential collisions with Risk Visualizer™
Risk Visualizer™ assists operators in making avoidance decisions by visualizing the areas where there is a risk of collision if own ship keeps current speed and other ship(s) continue to navigate at their current speed and course.
Risk Visualizer™ makes it easier to identify the risk of approaching or colliding with other vessels in challenging environments—such as during nighttime navigation, low-visibility conditions, high-traffic areas, or when the operator is managing a high workload.
Risk Visualizer display image*
* In the example image, by altering course so that your ship does not enter the approaching area, you can avoid the other ship by maintaining a distance equal to the personal area.
Maneuver your vessel to avoid the approaching/collision areas, you will be able to avoid other ships. If your ship's course is within an approaching area, there is a risk of coming close to othe ther ship, so the operators must steer with caution.
If target’s CPA and TCPA are less than the threshold, the approaching/collision area will flash in red and the CPA/TCPA alert occurs.
After acknowledging the alert, the flashing stops.
* If a target’s speed or course is changed after your vessel changes its course, the risk of collision may increase. Maneuver your vessel accordingly to avoid collision.
* When the vector mode is set to the ground stabilization or sea stabilization(true), the approaching/collision area is shown with a thick solid line in the same direction as the vector of the target that is on a collision course with own ship.
* The color for the approaching/collision areas change according to the color of the target symbol.

Well-designed controllers for stress-free operation
Comfortable usability is very important on long voyages. With that in mind, these control units are designed based on ergonomics to comfortably accommodate the operator's hand. All operations can be controlled with the trackball.
Refined antenna with excellent reliability and easy maintenance
The FAR-2xx8 series is designed to provide clearer and more accurate Radar images of the surroundings, while increasing reliability and decreasing overall cost of ownership with easy maintenance.
Signals are safely transported though the Ethernet network between the antenna and below deck processing unit, allowing for higher reliability. High quality images are obtained by the signal processor inside the antenna unit, directly converting analog to digital signals before sending them to the main processor unit.
The new antenna's refined shape significantly reduces aerodynamic drag and lightens the burden on the gear box.The gear box itself has also been redesigned. Decreased aerodynamic drag and a DC brushless motor result in a very durable gear box that can be used for a prolonged period of time.
Installation and maintenance are now easier than ever. All components of the gear box are integrated into one block that can easily be removed from the gear box when maintenance is required. The cable to the gear box can be connected from the side of the gear box.
Solid State Radar model - NXT - specializes in target detection and maintainability
Compared to the traditional Magnetron Radar, the Solid State Radar NXT Series provide highly reliable target detection while requiring low power.

Clear images
Furuno Solid State Radar technology generates clear echo images, which allows users to obtain a clear picture of the area around their vessel, including weaker echoes from small crafts.Reducing the time and cost for maintenance
- No need to replace the magnetron
- Removal of the consumable parts thanks to a fan-less antenna (S-band only)
Easy installation for new building as well as retrofits, with high flexibility
27" wide monitor (model: MU-270W) selectable*
With the expanded wide monitor, 9 TT data boxes will be displayed on the screen. The color contrast of the display is excellent so that Radar echo can be grasped at a glance.
* FAR-2xx8 series / FAR-20x8-MARK-2 series onlyExisting monitor, control unit and cables can be used in retrofitting*
* Only when retrofitting in lieu of FAR-2xx7 seriesOptional LAN Signal Converter enables Ethernet communication
Extension of the cable between antenna unit and processor unit utilizing existing cables when retrofitting is possible.Ethernet connectivity with onboard system
Ethernet expands the radar's capability with connection between either existing or newly installed systems, such as ECDIS and VDR.With the optional Ethernet HUB, Inter-switch can be utilized
DVI-I cable is connectible to VDR in retrofitting
How to connect VDR with FAR-2xx8 seriesVR-7000/7000S Directly connect VDR with LAN. VR-3000/3000S Directly input the RGB signal from a DVI-I port to the VDR. Other manufacturer's VDR Please check with the VDR manufacturer to connect appropriately.
Options
Wave Analyzer Software*
Wave Analyzer Software provides real-time measurement of wave height, direction and period by analyzing sea surface echoes received from the marine radar. The wave information ensures safety at sea, even at night.
* Compatible with X-band and S-band radar (both magnetron and solid state)
ICE mode*
ICE mode visualizes ice structures and find the best route through iced sea surface. Finding the optimum route to go through ice, the vessel consumes much less power and saves fuel and time.
* Compatible with X-band radar (both magnetron and solid state)
