Raymarine and Shotgun Marine Unveil the Quantum 2 CHIRP Radar with Doppler Collision Avoidance Technology

Raymarine and Shotgun Marine are thrilled to announce the immediate availability of the groundbreaking Raymarine Quantum 2 CHIRP Radar with Doppler collision avoidance technology. This advanced radar system combines cutting-edge features to provide boaters and mariners with an enhanced level of safety, clarity, and situational awareness on the water. Whether you're navigating through busy coastal waters, fishing offshore, or simply enjoying a leisurely cruise, the Quantum 2 CHIRP Radar is designed to keep you informed and in control like never before.

What Is the Raymarine Quantum 2 CHIRP Radar?

The Quantum 2 CHIRP Radar is the latest innovation from Raymarine, one of the leading brands in marine electronics. This radar system uses CHIRP (Compressed High-Intensity Radiated Pulse) technology to deliver exceptional target clarity and resolution. By emitting a continuous pulse instead of a single burst, CHIRP radar provides better definition, reduced noise interference, and superior target detection, making it ideal for both near-shore and off-shore navigation.

What sets the Quantum 2 Radar apart from its predecessors is its advanced Doppler radar technology, which enables collision avoidance by detecting moving targets and highlighting them on the display with color-coded alerts. This revolutionary feature offers boaters the ability to see not only stationary objects but also moving vessels in real-time, improving safety and navigation.

Key Features of the Raymarine Quantum 2 CHIRP Radar with Doppler Collision Avoidance

1. Doppler Collision Avoidance

One of the standout features of the Quantum 2 CHIRP Radar is its Doppler radar technology for collision avoidance. This system actively tracks the movement of nearby vessels and other objects, providing a visual representation of their speed and direction. By color-coding targets—red for dangerous targets, yellow for potential threats, and green for safe targets—the Doppler feature ensures that boaters can quickly assess potential hazards and take action accordingly. This offers a significant improvement over traditional radar systems and enhances situational awareness, especially in busy or congested areas.

2. CHIRP Technology for Enhanced Target Resolution

The Quantum 2 utilizes CHIRP technology, a next-generation radar technology that greatly enhances the resolution and clarity of targets. CHIRP radar emits a continuous pulse rather than a single burst, allowing for more detailed information on objects, both near and far. This results in superior image quality, sharper target definition, and reduced clutter. Whether you're tracking distant vessels or detecting small objects close to the boat, CHIRP technology ensures a clearer, more accurate picture.

3. Improved Target Detection at Longer Ranges

The Quantum 2 offers exceptional long-range detection, making it ideal for offshore cruising or navigating through expansive waterways. The system can detect targets at distances of up to 72 nautical miles, ensuring that boaters have ample time to respond to any potential hazards. Whether you're on a fast-paced fishing expedition or a leisurely coastal voyage, the ability to detect objects well in advance provides peace of mind and enhanced safety.

4. Easy Integration with Raymarine Systems

The Quantum 2 Radar seamlessly integrates with Raymarine's range of multifunction displays (MFDs), including the Axiom series, providing a unified, user-friendly interface. The radar system can be paired with other Raymarine products, such as fishfinders and autopilots, to create a complete, interconnected system for all your navigation and safety needs. The radar's intuitive controls and compatibility with Raymarine's LightHouse 3 operating system ensure that users can easily access radar data, adjust settings, and control the system from the MFD screen.

5. Compact, Lightweight Design

Raymarine has designed the Quantum 2 CHIRP Radar to be compact, lightweight, and easy to install, making it a perfect fit for a wide variety of vessels. Whether you're outfitting a small pleasure craft or a large yacht, the Quantum 2 radar system can be mounted on a mast, radar arch, or pole with minimal space requirements. Its low power consumption and efficient design ensure that it won't weigh down your vessel or drain your battery.

6. Wi-Fi Connectivity for Mobile Control

For added convenience, the Quantum 2 Radar features built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, enabling you to control the radar system from your mobile device using the Raymarine app. This wireless control allows for easy setup, remote adjustments, and the ability to view radar data while moving around the boat. Whether you're in the cockpit, at the bow, or relaxing on deck, you can stay connected and monitor your radar system from anywhere on board.

How Doppler Technology Revolutionizes Collision Avoidance

Traditional radar systems simply display targets without providing much insight into their movement or potential threat level. The Doppler collision avoidance feature of the Quantum 2 Radar changes the game by adding an intelligent layer of real-time target analysis. The radar not only detects moving objects but also calculates their speed and trajectory, allowing boaters to assess potential collision risks.

When a moving target is detected, it is highlighted with color-coded alerts: red for targets that are on a collision course, yellow for those that may pose a threat, and green for objects that are moving safely in a different direction. This helps boaters make informed decisions quickly, especially in high-traffic areas or low-visibility conditions.

Why Choose the Raymarine Quantum 2 CHIRP Radar?

  1. Enhanced Safety: The Doppler collision avoidance technology provides real-time information on nearby vessels and moving objects, allowing you to avoid potential collisions before they happen.

  2. Improved Target Clarity: CHIRP radar technology offers better target definition and less interference, ensuring that you have a clearer and more accurate picture of your surroundings.

  3. Longer Range and Reliability: With a detection range of up to 72 nautical miles, the Quantum 2 Radar excels in both nearshore and offshore navigation, ensuring you have ample time to respond to any threats.

  4. User-Friendly Integration: The Quantum 2 seamlessly integrates with other Raymarine devices, providing a cohesive and easy-to-use system for navigation, safety, and entertainment.

  5. Space and Power Efficient: The compact and lightweight design makes it an excellent choice for a variety of vessels, offering powerful radar capabilities without taking up too much space or draining your battery.

  6. Wi-Fi Connectivity: The built-in Wi-Fi feature lets you control and monitor your radar system from your smartphone or tablet, adding an extra level of convenience and flexibility.
