IntuVue RDR-7000 Weather Radar System
Overview
Honeywell’s IntuVue RDR-7000 Weather Radar System brings our industry-leading IntuVue weather radar technology in a lightweight, more powerful and easily retrofitted single line replacement unit to fit more business aircraft platforms.The IntuVue RDR-7000 is fully automatic and doesn't require active pilot adjustments of tilt and/or gain for operation. Reducing workload, allows pilots to focus on flying the most comfortable and safest route through weather.Engineered to provide far superior reliability, accuracy and durability than legacy magnetron-based radar systems, the RDR-7000 offers customers the flexibility to remotely enable advanced software features to provide them the clearest view of weather conditions around the routes they’re accustomed to flying.Key Honeywell Advantages:
- Next generation -fully automated, higher resolution weather radar system with airborne ground/sea mapping system
- Reliable and efficient - solid-state transmitters utilizing pulse compression provide reduced weight and power consumption, advanced coherent processing, and increased reliability
- Compact and easy to install - RDR-7000 IntuVue radar systems technology integrated into a small, lightweight package
- Available software upgrades - advanced features can be added at any time, including turbulence detection, advanced mapping, target detection and additional hazard features (lightning and hail detection), and forward looking (predictive) windshear
