AutoTrack™ for HALO® 20+ / 24 Radars

Simrad Yachting and B&G, leaders in marine electronics and navigation, today announced Radar software release version 7.2.0.23 introducing the new AutoTrack™ (*) feature for its HALO® 20+ and HALO® 24 Radars. Released earlier this year for HALO 2000® and HALO® 3000 Radars, AutoTrack™ is now available for HALO® 20+ and HALO® 24 dome Radars across Simrad® and B&G Multi-Function Displays! It should be noted that AutoTrack™ is not supported on HALO® 20 Radars. Nevertheless, this software update can be applied to HALO® 20, however there will be no user benefit. While the HALO® 2000 and HALO® 3000 open array Radars are only compatible with Simrad® MFD’s.

AutoTrack™ automatically detects, tracks, and prioritizes moving targets, overlaying them on the radar display with intuitive visual cues and trajectory lines. Even when the radar screen is not actively in use, a dynamic widget highlights only the most critical, intelligently prioritized alerts – keeping captains informed without distraction. With the ability to track up to 50 targets simultaneously at ranges up to 24 nautical miles, AutoTrack™ provides comprehensive coverage and peace of mind.

AutoTrack™ is enabled by default with the latest software update and can easily be turned on or off in radar settings. Designed to feel like a natural part of the multifunction display interface, AutoTrack™ works seamlessly with the Simrad® and B&G multifunction displays listed below:

Brand    Models and software version
Simrad   NSS Evo 3 & 3S, NSO Evo 3 & 3S software version 25.1 or later
Simrad   NSX, NSS 4 software version 2.1 or later
B&G        Zeus 3S, Zeus 3s Glass Helm software version 25.1 or later

Autonomous Monitoring
AutoTrack™ constantly monitors every radar sweep in the background, allowing boaters to focus their attention elsewhere. But it does more than just watch. It adds a new layer of radar intelligence, always adapting to the environment and alerting boaters to dangers as they arise in real time.
True Ease of Use
With AutoTrack™, there are no settings to dial in. Radar tracking is all taken care of from the moment you power on. This is world-class radar performance, without the learning curve.
Unrivalled Situational Awareness
AutoTrack™ ensures you’re never caught off guard. It can track targets up to 24 nautical miles away and monitor up to 50 objects simultaneously, highlighting those that pose the biggest risk. Most important of all, AutoTrack™ alerts you the moment a high-risk object is detected.
Integration and Requirements
AutoTrack™ is enabled by default with the HALO® 20+ and HALO® 24 software release v7.2.0.23 and can easily be turned on or off in radar settings. It works seamlessly with compatible Simrad and B&G multifunction displays.

*The Autotrack™ feature is an aid to navigation under specific circumstances only. It should not be:
• considered as a collision avoidance system
• used as a primary source of navigation
• a substitute for proper training, qualification, licenses (where required) and prudent seamanship
AutoTrack™ is designed to be used in conjunction with conventional navigational practices.
