Imagine navigating through dense fog or spotting distant targets with crystal-clear precision—no guesswork involved. The Cyclone 6' Open Array antenna elevates your boating experience by delivering exceptional target resolution and long-range detection, thanks to its advanced CHIRP pulse compression technology. Designed for serious mariners who demand reliability in harsh conditions, this antenna withstands 100-knot winds while providing sharp, clutter-free images that help you stay safe and confident on every voyage.
Unlike traditional radars, this open array excels at separating small targets from sea clutter and rain, making it ideal for fishing, cruising, or commercial operations. Boaters report seeing birds over fish schools from miles away or avoiding unlit obstacles during night passages—real-world advantages that go beyond specs.

In pulse compression mode, this array punches through weather like few others, offering up to 24 nautical miles of range with minimal blind spots. Mariners praise its ability to maintain lock on fast-moving targets, such as other vessels or debris, even in choppy seas. For offshore anglers, the high-definition imaging reveals bait balls and structure with startling detail, turning good days into epic ones.
Its horizontal polarization cuts through rain better than vertical alternatives, a game-changer during squalls. Pair it with modern processors for features like VelocityTrack™ Doppler overlays, which color-code approaching threats in real time—adding layers of safety without complexity.
Mounting this array is straightforward for DIYers or pros alike. Its compact footprint suits sailboats, sportfishers, and yachts from 40 feet and up, where open-array performance shines. Ensure proper mast or arch placement for optimal horizon scanning—typically 10-15 feet above waterline to minimize clutter. Cable routing uses standard Raymarine connectors, minimizing custom work.
"Swapped out my old array in under two hours—plug-and-play perfection." – Experienced offshore captain
Open arrays like this one provide longer range, higher power, and finer resolution due to their larger size and exposed elements. Domes are compact but trade off on distance and detail—perfect for smaller vessels.
Yes, it's rated for 100-knot winds with an aircraft-wing design, meeting IEC 62388 commercial standards for rugged marine environments.
Options include 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 RPM, allowing customization for short-range detail or full 360° sweeps.
It integrates seamlessly with Axiom, Axiom Pro, and Element series via compatible radar processors, unlocking CHIRP and advanced imaging modes.
CHIRP pulse compression sends variable-frequency pulses for superior target discrimination, reducing clutter from waves or rain while sharpening echoes for clearer long-range views.
Best for vessels 40-70 feet, balancing power and space. Smaller boats might opt for 4', larger for 8'.
Absolutely—the narrow 1.32° horizontal beam and high-res CHIRP excel at spotting small, low-profile objects up to several miles out.
Cyclone 6' Open Array Only
Raymarine's Cyclone product line blends cutting-edge design, high-performance CHIRP pulse compression technology, and innovative features to give boaters the very best in situational awareness.
