Simrad HALO Radar

July 15, 2025

Simrad Yachting, a leader in marine electronics and navigation, just introduced the new AutoTrack™ feature for its HALO® 2000 and HALO 3000 Radars. The new feature brings automated tracking to the world’s most intuitive and easy-to-use radar system. AutoTrack* automatically detects, tracks, and prioritizes moving vessels and other targets, enhancing situational awareness and improving on-water safety.
 
“Simrad Yachting is renowned for its high-performance, reliable marine electronics that elevate on-water experiences to the next level. The new AutoTrack feature was developed with this legacy in mind, ensuring we continue to deliver the market’s best products,” said Kevin Steinbraker, VP and General Manager, Digital Systems for Navico Group.” AutoTrack isn’t just a new feature. It represents a significant leap towards smarter vessel awareness, giving boaters superior information effortlessly and elevating the entire Simrad® experience. With enhanced situational awareness, AutoTrack operates seamlessly in the background, adding an extra layer of safety without complicating the user experience. Whether navigating busy waterways or cruising offshore, it keeps you informed, aware, and in control at all times.”
 
Within the radar app, AutoTrack seamlessly overlays vessels and potential hazards, providing intuitive visual references along with their trajectories for effortless situational awareness. Even when the radar screen is not in use, AutoTrack remains vigilant, delivering a smart, dynamic widget that shows only the most critical, intelligently prioritized alerts, enabling captains to make confident decisions without unnecessary distractions. With the ability to track targets up to 24 nautical miles away and monitor up to 50 objects simultaneously, AutoTrack ensures comprehensive coverage and enhanced safety.
 
This new feature is enabled by default with the latest HALO 2000/3000 V8.2.0.32 software update and can easily be turned on or off in radar settings. It is fully integrated with the HALO 2000/3000 radar system, with plans to roll out to the Simrad®, Lowrance® and B&G® HALO dome radars in the near future. Designed to feel like a natural part of the Simrad® interface, AutoTrack works seamlessly with Simrad® multifunction displays, including the NSS and NSO evo3 and evo3S series with software version 25.1, and the NSX®, NSX ULTRAWIDE and NSS® 4 displays with the 2.1 or later software.
