The automatic target acquisition will start. The target acquired will be marked with “” and its
target ID No., which will move with the target. Its vector will appear within one minute.
Note: When Target ID No. Display is set to OFF, any captured target ship will not be
attached with its target ID No.
In the ACQ AUTO mode, the targets within a guard zone will be acquired automatically. The guard
zone can be set arbitrarily. If a guard zone is not set, a guard zone of 3 NM and ±45˚ in the
direction of own ship will be set. (Guard Zone 1: heading direction, Guard Zone 2: sternward
direction)
For the setting method, refer to section 3.4 “Set Guard Zones”.
Procedures
● If untracked targets intrude into the guard zone in the conditions that the maximum number of
targets (50 targets) are under tracking, the targets acquired automatically will be cancelled in the
order of lower levels of danger.
Attention
● It is important to adjust the controls [SEA] and [GAIN] properly in the automatic target
acquisition mode to minimize sea clutter returns acquired falsely.
