5.3.5  Displaying AIS Information [TGT DATA] 
 
 
Types of information displayed 
 
There are two modes (simple and detail) to display AIS target information.    The display items are 
determined by the selected mode. 
 
Display Item  Detail mode  Simple mode 
NAME (ship name)  Up to 20 characters 
Call Sign  Up to 7 characters 
MMSI  Up to 9 characters 
COG (course over ground) or CTW (course through water)
0.1 ° unit 
SOG (speed over ground) or STW (speed through water)  0.1 knot unit 
CPA (closest point of approach)  0.01 nm unit 
TCPA (time to CPA)  0.1 min unit 
BRG (true bearing) 
0.1 ° unit 
Range  0.01 nm unit 
HDG (heading bearing) 
0.1 ° unit 
ROT (rate of turn) 
0.01 °/min 
POSN (latitude / longitude)  0.0001’ unit 
Destination (waypoint)  Up to 20 characters 
NAV Status  Status (number) 
Not displayed 
 
If the numeric information of ROT is blank, the radar is receiving the AIS data which is cannot displayed.   
In this case, you can only trust the turning direction which is indicated by the turn indicator.    The turn 
indicator is displayed on the AIS symbol as the line perpendicular to the heading direction.    (See the 
Section 5.1.2 "Types and Definitions of AIS Target Symbols") 
 
If the numeric information of SOG or STW is 102.2kn, the target ship's speed is 102.2kn or over.    Then the 
system cannot calculate CPA and TCPA.    Therefore, missing is indicated in the CPA and TCPA 
information. 
 
The detail mode displays the numeric data of only a single ship, the simple mode can display the numeric 
data of up to two ships. 
 
For NAV Status, one of the following statuses is displayed in accordance with Navigation Status:
