Navigating busy waterways or open ocean demands radar that delivers crystal-clear detection without compromise. The Simrad HALO 200X steps up as a powerhouse 50W pulse compression radar system, engineered for boaters who prioritize precision, speed, and safety. Without the antenna included, this setup gives you flexibility to pair it with your preferred size—whether a compact 3ft for smaller vessels or a 6ft beast for maximum range—while the included 10m cable and RI-50 interface make integration seamless. Imagine spotting birds over fish schools from afar, dodging storms with dual-range views, or tracking threats in real-time; that's the edge this solid-state marvel provides.
Pulse compression technology is the secret sauce here, mimicking the punch of a traditional 12kW magnetron radar but with solid-state reliability—no warm-up delays or power degradation over time. From tight marina slips (detecting targets as close as 6 meters) to horizon-spanning 72 nautical miles, it paints a vivid picture. Beam sharpening narrows the horizontal beam for razor-sharp target separation, turning cluttered returns into actionable intel.
ZoneTrack lets you define two custom zones, automatically plotting up to 50 targets' speed and course—ideal for regattas or fishing fleets. VelocityTrack Doppler overlays color-coded motion: green for receding, red for approaching, so collisions scream for attention. Dangerous Target Alerts fuse radar and AIS data, flashing critical vessels with bearing, range, and vectors relative to your path.
Advanced digital processing slashes sea clutter, while low-power pulsed transmissions keep it harbor-legal and bird-safe. Rotate speeds from 16-48 RPM adapt to your needs, with brushless motors ensuring quiet, reliable spins even in 80-knot winds.
"It's like having a pro mariner's eye—anticipating trouble before it arrives." – Experienced offshore sailor
In crowded harbors, Harbour mode auto-tunes for markers and moored boats, minimizing false echoes. Offshore, crank up the range to track squalls or ships over the curve. Anglers rave about Bird mode's sensitivity, revealing flocks that pinpoint tuna or snapper hauls miles out. For sailboats, the compact pedestal (just 20.3kg) and flexible antenna options fit masts without drama.
Upgrade ease is a highlight: Same footprint as prior HALO models, plugs into Simrad NSS, NSO, NSX, or GO series plotters via Ethernet. Compass-safe distances keep your heading accurate, and the RI-50 handles 12/24V power conversion flawlessly.
Rugged IPX6 pedestal and IPX5 RI-50 shrug off spray, UV, and vibration per IEC60945 standards. Operate from -25°C to +55°C, with peak draw under 380W at max wind—efficient for battery banks.

Simrad Halo 200x 50w Pulse Compression Radar System without Antenna
Model: 000-15947-001Benefit from safer navigation and unmatched ease of use with the new HALO® 2000 and 3000 Open Array radars. Advanced Pulse Compression technology allows you to detect birds, hazards and storms with superior precision across both short and long distances. While the range of Preset Modes and enhanced power provide constant peace of mind.
The HALO® 2000 radar offers a premium experience on the water. An impressive 50 W of power — equivalent to a 12 kW magnetron radar — delivers an unrivaled combination of short- and long-range coverage that enables you to see targets from six meters (20 feet) out to 72 nautical miles with exceptional clarity. Pulse Compression technology powers confident navigation through marinas, and superior storm and hazard detection across a greater distance. The HALO® array series not only increase situational awareness and collision avoidance but also offer higher-resolution target detection you won’t find in lower-powered radars.
The HALO 2000 series boast an array of new features that make navigation safer and offer peace of mind. ZoneTrack™ brings the best of professional boating technology to recreational users, allowing them to track up to 50 vessels within a defined area, automatically detecting their course and speed. HALO’s Dangerous Target Alerts highlight range, graphical bearing, and heading of other vessels relative to yours. Meanwhile, VelocityTrack™ uses Doppler technology to show targets color-coded so you can identify potential threats at a glance. Because, when it comes to safety, situational awareness is everything.
The next generation of pulse compression radars, HALO 2000 and 3000 build on the features that have made HALO an established choice for boaters across the globe. The solid-state technology gets you up and running quickly, and HALO’s low-power pulsed transmissions make it safe to run in harbors and marinas. Dual Range mode allows you to keep an eye on distant weather cells while monitoring channel markers and high-speed watercraft up close. Advanced digital signal processing gives you a clearer view of targets, helping eliminate sea clutter, while Beam Sharpening provides enhanced separation between small or distant targets. Finally, HALO 2000 and 3000 have the same footprint as their predecessors, making it easy to upgrade your current system. It’s also compatible with a range of Simrad® chart plotters, including NSS™, NSX™, NSO™, and GO™.
Designed with an intuitive interface HALO arrays make operation easier with smart features like Harbour, Offshore, Bird, and Weather modes. These Preset Modes require no manual tuning — just select your chosen mode and go. This simple approach also extends to fishing, with HALO’s powerful bird-finding capability which enables boaters to find flocks of birds and — more importantly — schools of fish at a distance.
