Technological Alliance
Navico’s Simrad brand and Consilium have entered into a strategic cooperation with the intent to offer new and innovative products. Through their strategic and technological alliance, the two companies first aim to significantly change the comprehension of short range radar target detection and processing, offering advanced, yet operator-friendly, products.
The goal is to introduce radar systems for use on SOLAS vessels, yachts included, with a strong focus on piracy attack detection, and for other workboats too. The radar will be crucial with eliminating main bang suppression dead space and blind zones on vessels, have anti collision features, bad weather target detection and a docking radar.

We look forward to developing revolutionary products that will give our customers an advantage,” says Director Professional Market, Tim Ryder of Navico.
