ChartWorld has launched a “radar as a service” model, providing Raymarine’s Pathfinder solid state IMO X-band radar system on a subscription basis. Pathfinder is designed for CAT 2 and CAT 3 SOLAS vessels.

This business model optimizes a shipping company’s operations by reducing the burden of maintaining and updating essential navigation equipment.

The Pathfinder radar system delivers exceptional resolution and detection capabilities even in the most challenging of maritime conditions. Compliant with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) standards IEC 62288 and IEC 62388, this radar stands out for its reduced maintenance, enhanced longevity and ease of operation. Pathfinder offers crews superior target separation and increased long-range resolution using pulse compression and beam-sharpening technology. The solid state transmitter provides performance exceeding a 12-kW magnetron, and the system meets and exceeds all IMO performance requirements for target detection.

The Pathfinder is designed to be quickly retrofitted in place of existing systems and features a user interface for simplicity of operation, greatly reducing the learning curve for the crew.
