Trial maneuver
A graphical simulation facility used to assist the operator to perform a
proposed maneuver for navigation and collision avoidance purposes.
True course
The direction of motion relative to ground or to sea, of a target
expressed as an angular displacement from north
True speed

True vector
A vector representing the predicted true motion of a target, showing
course and speed with reference to the ground or sea
