I see that the British defence manufacturer Kelvin Hughes has created a new small radar designed for RIBs and other small boats. It looks like any normal yacht radar but uses their Sharpeye solid state technology as fitted on warships.

There doesn't seem to be much information about it on the internet just some basic stuff on the manufacturers website.

As stated "new small radar" a scaled down version of a larger system on bigger vessels.
Principal still the same.
