Echomax 12" Passive Radar Reflector

The Echomax 12" Passive Radar Reflector is a popular high response radar reflector with a robust Polyethylene case and is suitable for large 15 - 20 metres size vessels. Following a year of sea trials the US Navy SubPac Division Hawaii chose the original EM305 glass fibre cased unit for enhanced visibility upon surfacing for their fleet of Nuclear Submarines.
