5.4.1    Target Association Assessment 
 
Whether or not the AIS target and the tracked targets are identical is assessed.    If they are determined to be 
identical, an association symbol is displayed. 
When this occurs, the AIS target symbol is activated automatically.

When  a  large  value  is  set  as  an  association 
condition, a tracked target near an AIS target is 
identified  as  the  AIS  target  and  may  thus 
disappear from the display. 
For example, when a pilot vessel equipped with 
the  AIS  function  (a  small  target  which  is  not  a 
tracked target) goes near a cargo vessel which 
is a tracked target without the AIS function, the 
tracked target symbol for the cargo vessel may 
disappear.
