Radar & Night Vision
Radar Services
Add a marine radar to your boat for increased safety in fog and darkness. radars are the perfect collision prevention system in the marine industry.
Marine radar refers to the use of radar technology in the marine industry to aid in navigation, collision avoidance, and search and rescue operations. Here are some key points that summarize marine radar services:
Radar technology uses radio waves to detect the presence, location, and movement of objects in the surrounding environment, including other ships, land masses, and navigational hazards.
Marine radar systems typically consist of a radar antenna mounted on a mast or on the vessel's superstructure, a radar display unit, and a processor that analyzes and displays radar data.
Radar can provide a range of information, including the distance and bearing of nearby vessels, their speed and course, and the location of buoys, landmarks, and other navigational aids.
Radar can be used to plot a vessel's own position, calculate its course and speed, and track its progress relative to a planned route.
In addition to navigation and collision avoidance, radar can also be used for search and rescue operations, helping to locate distressed vessels or people in the water.
Marine radar systems must meet certain technical standards and regulations to ensure they are safe, effective, and compatible with other vessels' equipment.
It is important for mariners to understand how to interpret radar data and use it in conjunction with other navigation tools, such as charts, compasses, and GPS.
Overall, marine radar services play a crucial role in ensuring safe and efficient marine navigation and are an important tool for mariners to have on board their vessels.
Raymarine offers a wide range of marine radar systems for all types and sizes of boats.
Day and night, radar systems from Raymarine keep you aware of surrounding traffic, hazards and obstacles, approaching weather and so much more. Use your boat's radar to navigate in dense fog or rain, or confirm your boat’s position with super-accurate radar ranges.
Garmin offers a full line of radome and open array radars. Garmin xHD2 radars provide high-definition digital technology delivering high-resolution radar images to your plotter — images that are sharper with even better target separation. Garmin high-definition xHD2 antennas are the future-proof choice when upgrading your Garmin Marine Network.
HALO® radars deliver an unprecedented mix of long and short detection range, with precise target definition and minimal clutter. Quick start-up and maximum ocean-going reliability ensure you have coverage when you need it, while low-power pulsed transmissions mean HALO radars are safe to run in anchorages and marinas.
Night Vision Services
Marine night vision refers to the use of technology to enhance visibility and improve safety during nighttime or low-light conditions in the marine industry. Here are some key points that summarize marine night vision services:
Marine night vision systems use various technologies, including thermal imaging and image intensification, to enhance visibility in low-light conditions.
These systems can detect and display images of objects, vessels, and other potential hazards that may not be visible to the naked eye in low-light conditions.
Marine night vision systems can be mounted on a vessel's helm, mast, or other high point to provide a clear view of the surrounding area.
Some marine night vision systems can be integrated with other navigation tools, such as GPS and radar, to provide a more comprehensive view of the vessel's surroundings.
Marine night vision systems can improve safety by helping to detect obstacles and hazards, such as floating debris, other vessels, and shorelines, which may not be visible to the naked eye.
Night vision systems can also assist with search and rescue operations by helping to locate people in the water or on shore in low-light conditions.
It is important for mariners to understand the limitations of night vision technology and to use it in conjunction with other navigation tools, such as charts and compasses.
Overall, marine night vision services can help to improve safety and situational awareness in low-light conditions and are an important tool for mariners to have on board their vessels.
Teledyne FLIR designs, develops, manufactures, markets, and distributes technologies that enhance perception and awareness. They bring innovative sensing solutions into daily life through our thermal imaging, visible-light imaging, video analytics, measurement and diagnostic, and advanced threat detection systems.
Night time navigation can be extremely challenging even for the most experienced operators. If you want to be able to see clearly and navigate safely at night, Nite Track™ Integrated CCD Night Vision Technology is simply the best solution. Nite Track™ uses the latest in CCD (Charge Coupled Device) technology which produces images that are more detailed than what thermal imaging can produce. You can accurately read text on objects, see through windows, and discern objects in the water.

Testimonials
I can't say enough about the team at TMS. From Terry in the front office, to Matt, Brian and the entire staff, these guys do great work. I have used their services several times for trolling motor installation, repair work and a complete re-wire of the boat.

As a full time charter captain on the Georgia coast for 30 years it takes a lot to impress me in the marine industry. Let me just say Matt and the guys at TMS have done it! When I had an issue on a Friday afternoon Matt stepped up and got me going!
— Greg Hildreth
I recently purchased a Minn Kota Ultrex from TMS+ at a great price. I was excited just to find one because they have been extremely hard to find this year! Matt is an awesome guy to deal with, he has always gone above and beyond to help me out when I have stopped in.
