Primus™ 700A / 701A Radar

The ability to fly in all weather conditions

is essential for search and rescue, military

operations, surveillance and VIP transportion

Successfully complete the mission in all weather conditions.

The Primus 700A / 701A are the only radars

that offer sea clutter reduction, enabling

clearer detection of platforms to reduce crew

workload and enhance safety.

The Primus 700A / 701A are the only

helicopter radars offering pulse-pairing-

enabled sea clutter reduction for target

clarity in Instrument Meteorological

Conditions (IMC) and aggressive sea

states. Additionally, when using the ground

mapping mode over water, coastal objects

can be identified as landmarks, aiding in

navigation. If landing on an oil platform is

necessary, the Primus 700A / 701A can

be utilized for safe IFR approaches to

the platform.

Night vision goggles provide the military

pilots with an edge, even on the darkest

nights. But even with NVGs, they can’t see

weather conditions over a distant insertion

point (IP). The Primus radars’ advanced

Doppler processing detects and warns

of hazardous weather at distances over

100nm and turbulence within 40nm of the

helicopter. And on final approach to the IP,

ranges of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.5nm can be

displayed to provide close-in precision.

Honeywell's Primus 700A / 701A Radars are high-powered, integrated helicopter

radar systems combining weather and storm cell detection, SAR and navigation

capabilities in a light-weight package. These capabilities enhance success for

search and rescue, military operations and government VIP transport missions.

Primus 700A / 701A Radars Benefits

• Versatility to support the widest variety

of mission types in nearly all weather

conditions

• Improves success with vessel, platform

and beacon detection capability

• Enhances contingency planning by

providing accurate and current weather

information

• Identifies potential areas of hidden

weather hazards for maximum weather

hazard awareness

• Enables flight crews to safely approach

ships and platforms even in Instrument

Meteorological Conditions

• Exclusive Sea Clutter Reduction

provides quick location of objects and

obstacles in aggressive sea states

Weather Detection

Rainfall intensity and turbulence are displayed

in five brilliant colors contrasted against a

black background. The result is a crisp

display that makes any target readable

under any cockpit lighting condition.

Magenta represents areas of severe rainfall,

red shows heavy rainfall, yellow represents

medium rainfall and green indicates light

rain. White represents areas of turbulence.

To help in analyzing the storm, the Primus

700A / 701A radars inform pilots of the

operating mode, distance to each range

mark and antenna tilt angle.

REACT

Honeywell’s exclusive Rain Echo

Attenuation Compensation Technique

(REACT) safety feature alerts pilots to

areas where storms may be hidden

behind other storms.

Primus 700A / 701A WeatherAvoidance Technology

Turbulence Detection – Advanced

Doppler processing detects and warns

of potential turbulence that may be

present in weather cells out to 40

nautical miles.

Target Alert ensures pilots are aware

of weather hazards that may not be on

display due to range setting.

Sea Search – High-target resolution and

short-range performance with a minimum

range of 450 feet.

Sea Clutter Reduction modes help

eliminate confusing sea clutter returns.

Short Range Scales – Display ranges

of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.5nm provide close-in

precision display support, meets FAA

Offshore Approach (OSAP) requirements.

Ground Mapping modes enhance search

and navigaton by indentifying objects and

obstacles over water and significant terrain

features over land.

Beacon Capabilities – Detects and

displays the following beacons:

• One- and Two-Pulse Beacons

• DO-172 Six-Pulse Beacons

• SMP-100

• SART
