A masterpiece is here! On August 15, 2023, Nanoradar launched its latest independently developed product in the Waterside Guardian series—the WTC261-3000 water surface monitoring radar. This radar can monitor various vessel targets on the water surface in real-time and under all weather conditions, with a precise detection range of up to 3,000 meters (for large ships). Utilizing cognitive radar technology, it achieves 99.999% water clutter filtration, greatly enhancing water surface monitoring and management.

Product Introduction
The WTC261-3000 is a wide-beam water surface monitoring radar with a detection range of up to 3,000 meters. It employs FMCW modulation and advanced technologies such as MIMO, TBD, JPDA, and micro-Doppler sensing to accurately detect the distance and angle of moving targets. It can detect and identify large, medium, and small vessels, with intelligent one-click scene switching. Based on neural network technology, it incorporates environmental cognitive capabilities to effectively filter out false targets like trees, birds, and water splashes. The radar features high sensitivity, wide detection range, strong environmental adaptability, accurate detection, easy integration, stable performance, and high cost-effectiveness.
Product Highlights
1. Ultra-Strong Perception, Precise Detection
Beyond Visual Range Detection: Operates at 24GHz frequency with a maximum detection range of 3,000 meters. Dynamically filters water surface clutter during detection to reduce false alarms.
Target Classification: Uses AI radar technology to distinguish between large (>50m), medium (10-50m), and small (≤10m) vessels based on target轮廓感知.
Multi-Target Precision Resolution: Achieves a distance resolution of 4 meters. Accurately distinguishes between vessels even when they are close or intersecting.
2. Intelligent Perception, Low False Alarm Rate
Environment Active Learning, False Alarm Reduction: Cognitive radar integrates brain science and AI, enabling it to perceive, understand, learn, reason, and make decisions. This allows the radar to adapt to increasingly complex and changing environments.

False Alarm Suppression in Rainy and Windy Weather: Algorithm optimization reduces false alarms during adverse weather conditions.
Automatic Water Clutter Filtering: Algorithms automatically filter water surface clutter to prevent false alarms caused by interference.
With environmental learning, false alarm suppression, and clutter filtering, the radar achieves an average of ≤1 false alarm per day under wind conditions of level 3 or below.
3. High Reliability, Ultimate Experience
Strong Environmental Adaptability: IP66 protection grade, waterproof and dustproof, filters nearby insects, shock-resistant, and operates stably in extreme temperatures from -40°C to 70°C. Provides 24/7 all-weather real-time protection.
Self-Adaptive Calibration: Built-in attitude sensor supports adaptive calibration of RVSM radar installation information, eliminating manual calibration.
Ground Coordinate Information Output: Supports GPS/BeiDou systems, directly outputting target ground coordinate information.
Anti-Occlusion: Effectively prevents malicious occlusion and shielding of radar detection.
4. Web One-Stop Management, Easy Operation
Plug-and-Play: Ready to use upon power-up, no configuration needed.
Information Display: Interface displays GPS and device installation information.
Multi-Language Support: Supports Chinese, English, Russian, and Korean.
One-Click Scene Selection: Intelligently switches between scenes such as sunny days, rainy days, bridges, rivers, and ports with one click.
Area Drawing: Allows drawing of alarm, warning, and filtration zones—focusing on user priorities.
5. RVSM Rapid Fusion, Seamless Integration
Excellent Compatibility: Supports 10+ mainstream brands including Hikvision, Dahua, Huawei, Uniview, Keda, and Jingyang. Compatible with various databases and RTSP standards.
Rich API Interfaces: Provides standard SDK interfaces supporting international protocols like MODBUS and ONVIF.
Seamless Integration: Offers protocol documentation support for third-party platforms, supporting various communication methods such as TCP and HTTP. Flexible interfaces make customer integration more convenient.
Best Application Practices
1. Bridge Collision Prevention
The radar integrates with video monitoring, audio-visual alarms, data transmission, and VHF radio notification systems to provide safety warnings for vessels passing near bridges. It enables visual management of bridge facilities, effectively reducing the risk of ship collisions during operation, extending the bridge’s lifespan, and ensuring its safety.
2. Waterway Smart Checkpoint
The radar combines with AIS, thermal imaging cameras, and other systems to automatically detect, intelligently identify, provide safety warnings, enable联动跟踪, and collect evidence of violations during vessel entry and exit. It offers real-time, comprehensive, and visual dynamic monitoring of vessels in inland waterways.
The WTC261-3000 is also widely applicable to security scenarios with high demand, such as offshore drilling platforms, ports and terminals, marine ranches, and offshore wind farms, providing robust support for regional safety.
