16" Passive Octahedral Radar Reflector
Essential Safety Equipment for Marine Navigation
This 16-inch (416mm) Passive Octahedral Radar Reflector is a valuable safety upgrade for leisure boats with low radar reflection, particularly those built from GRP (fibreglass) or wood. Its arrangement of perpendicular aluminium plates reflects incoming radar signals back to the source, increasing the range at which your boat can be seen by larger ships in fog, heavy rain or at night.
