Section 6 Target Tracking and AIS
This section explains Target Tracking (hereinafter, referred to as target tracking or TT) and Automatic
Identification System (hereinafter referred to as AIS).
Simulation is a function for determining if the target tracking function is working
correctly or not. Accordingly, this function should be used only to check for the target
tracking function operation.
In particular, if this mode is used during navigation, a pseudo target will appear on the
radar screen and cannot be easily identified from the real target.
This may cause
such an accident as collision. Do not use this mode during the navigation.
Target Tracking
This function calculates the course and speed of a target by automatically tracking the target's move.
This function enables the automatic acquisition of targets by using the automatic acquisition zone
function.
This function also enables the simulation of the ship manoeuvring method to avoid collisions by using
the trial manoeuvre function.
Memo
If the mode is ground stabilisation, SOG/COG used for own ship's information. If the mode is sea
stabilisation, STW (speed through the water)/HDG (heading) is used for own ship's information.
Target tracking range is 32 NM. (Available all range scale)
For the details, refer to "6.5 Setting and Operating Target Tracking".
AIS
This function shows the target's information on the radar display, using other ship's information sent out
from the AIS unit.
For the details, refer to "6.6 Setting and Operating AIS".
