Furuno ARP11 ARPA Board 10 Target Auto Plotter

The Furuno ARP11 ARPA Board 10 Target Auto Plotter is a maritime navigation and collision avoidance system designed for professional vessel operators, naval personnel, and law enforcement maritime units. Built for small- to medium-sized vessels, this auto-tracking radar processor transforms raw radar data into actionable threat assessment, enabling rapid identification and plotting of up to 10 simultaneous targets. Used extensively by coast guard, naval, and port security operations, the ARP11 automates the labor-intensive task of manual target tracking, reducing operator fatigue and improving situational awareness in high-traffic waterways and tactical maritime environments.

The ARP11 operates as a dedicated processing card that integrates with Furuno radar systems, automatically detecting and maintaining tracks on surface vessels while filtering clutter and false targets. Its 10-target capacity allows operators to monitor multiple contacts simultaneously—critical for collision avoidance under International Maritime Organization (IMO) SOLAS regulations and tactical maritime interdiction operations. The auto-plotter function continuously updates course, speed, and closest point of approach (CPA) data, translating complex radar returns into intelligible navigation overlays. Weighing only 1 pound, this compact board consumes minimal shipboard space and integrates seamlessly into existing Furuno radar console installations without requiring extensive rewiring or system modifications.

This product is essential for commercial fisheries, port authorities, military patrol craft, and civilian vessels operating in congested waters where rapid target discrimination prevents collisions and unauthorized vessel approaches. Maritime law enforcement agencies and naval security teams rely on ARPA plotting to establish positive identification before intercept, while international merchant vessels depend on ARP11-equipped radars to maintain compliance with COLREGS and vessel traffic service (VTS) protocols. The ARP11 board is compatible with Furuno radar transceivers and display systems operating within specified frequency bands; prospective users should verify radar console compatibility before installation and confirm that their vessel's electrical systems meet Furuno power specifications.
