Simrad HALO 3004 130W Pulse Compression Marine Radar Open Array 4ft

Meet the HALO 3004—the open‑array radar that pairs serious power with smart, boat‑friendly features for confident navigation in any conditions. With a 4-foot antenna and 130 watts of transmit power, HALO 3004 delivers both sharp short‑range detail in crowded harbors and expansive long‑range clarity offshore. It’s the practical, high‑definition radar you need when every mile counts and every decision matters on the water.

Why HALO 3004 stands apart

• 130W of power for unmatched range and clarity. Pulse compression technology provides a clean view across the spectrum—from close-in marinas to distant weather cells, up to 96 nautical miles, with precise target separation.
• Advanced signal processing for cleaner targets. Beam sharpening and digital signal processing reduce sea clutter, so you can pick out small targets and distant hazards more reliably.
• Open‑array reliability in a compact footprint. The 4-foot antenna design delivers stable performance with a footprint that fits a wide range of vessels, while preserving upgrade paths for existing HALO systems.
• Ready when you are. Instant wake‑up from standby and a quick power‑on sequence (typically 16–25 seconds) mean you’ll be scanning faster and spending less time waiting.

Smart navigation and safety tools that actually help

• Dual Range mode. Monitor both near‑shore hazards and far‑off weather cells at the same time, without switching modes.
• ZoneTrack. Track up to 50 vessels within a user‑defined area, automatically detecting their course and speed to maintain situational awareness in busy waterways.
• VelocityTrack Doppler technology. Color‑coded targets provide at‑a‑glance threat assessment, helping you prioritize which contacts to monitor first.
• Dangerous Target Alerts. Clear, graphical indications of range, bearing, and heading for potentially hazardous targets relative to your vessel.
• Bird, Weather, Harbour and Offshore presets. Preset modes deliver optimized radar settings for common scenarios—no manual tuning required for everyday boating tasks.

Easy operation and seamless integration

HALO 3004 is designed for effortless use on the water. Its presets provide professional‑grade performance in a user‑friendly package, making the most of your chartplotter ecosystem. It’s compatible with a wide range of Simrad displays—NSS, NSX, NSO, and GO—and maintains the HALO footprint so upgrades are straightforward for existing HALO 2000/3000 systems.

What’s included and how it wires up

The HALO 3004 package includes the essentials to get you up and scanning quickly: a HALO 130W pedestal, a 4‑foot open array antenna, the RI‑50 power supply, and a 20 m (65.5 ft) cable. This combination emphasizes reliability, simple installation, and the flexibility to place the radar where it matters most on your vessel.

Ideal use cases

• Coastal cruising and harbor passages where precise short‑range targets matter for docking, pilots, and traffic separation.
• Offshore passages where long‑range storm cells, squalls, and large targets demand clear visibility well before you reach them.
• Sportfishing and bird fishing strategies—utilize Bird/Bird+ modes to locate flocks and productive fishing grounds at distance.
• Marina protection and collision avoidance in busy ports, where ZoneTrack helps you monitor local traffic while you navigate.

A practical choice for serious boaters

With HALO 3004, you’re choosing a radar system backed by Simrad’s reputation for reliable, shipboard‑grade electronics. The combination of high‑power pulse compression, intelligent target tracking, and convenient preset modes means you get more usable information with less guesswork. It’s not just about seeing farther—it’s about seeing better, understanding threats sooner, and maneuvering with confidence.
