Lost Target Alarm
When it is impossible to continue tracking any acquired and tracked target, or the data of AIS target cannot
received for a specified time, the LOST alarm will be generated. The typical causes for alarm generation are
shown below, but not limited to the following:
x The target echo is very weak.
x The target is shadowed by a shore or a large ship and its echo is not received.
x The target echo is blurred by sea clutter returns.
If a target under tracking goes into a range of 32 nm and can no longer be tracked, it is canceled without a lost
target alarm being issued.

z If the gain, sea clutter suppression, rain/snow clutter
suppression are not adjusted adequately, the lost
target alarm may be easily generated. So such
adjustments should be mad carefully.
