Target tracking

Radar targets and AIS targets are used to estimate the relative speed and direction, and the

system can alert the user about potentially dangerous targets and loss of communication

with an AIS target.

Managing targets

When the cursor is active, you can use the ENT key for acquiring radar targets.

• Press the ENT key once to acquire the target at cursor position without displaying the

Cursor ENTER menu

• Press and hold the ENT key to display the Cursor ENTER menu.

The items in the Cursor ENTER menu depends on if a target is positioned at the cursor

position, the type of target, and the status of the target.

If more than one target is located at cursor position, the menu will show the targets'

reference number.

No target at cursor position One target at cursor position Two radar targets at cursor position

Selecting and de-selecting targets

AIS targets and tracked radar targets can be selected, but only one target can be selected at a

time. When a target is selected the target symbol will change to selected target, and the

Targets panel will show detailed information for the target.

You de-select a target and remove the detailed target information in the Target Panel by

selecting the deselect target option in the Cursor ENTER menu.

Defining dangerous vessels

You can use the CPA (Closest point of approach) and TCPA (Time to closest point of

approach) values to define when a target should be considered as dangerous. When a radar

or AIS target comes within this distance, the symbol changes to the “dangerous” target

symbol.

Radar targets

Any radar echo can be acquired and tracked.

Acquiring radar targets

The acquire target option is used for acquiring any targets within the radar range.

To start tracking a radar target, move the cursor to the target and then either:

• Press the ENT key once to acquire the selected target without displaying the Cursor

ENTER menu

• Press and hold the ENT key to display the Cursor ENTER menu, the select the Acquire

target menu option

There might be a delay after having selected the target before the system received stable

target data:
