The following symbols are used for radar targets in the system:
Symbol Description
Tracked radar target with velocity vector
Selected radar target, indicated with a square (dotted line)
around the target symbol
Dangerous radar target, indicated with bold line and with red

the operator. It remains red until the system no longer defines it as a
dangerous target

target symbol. The symbol is located at the last received position
from the target
Radar target with past position and velocity vector
Radar target in acquisition state, indicated as a broken circle

Display settings for radar targets
You select how the radar targets are displayed on the radar image in the trails and past
position menu.
The settings are indicated in the indicators panel.
Trails and past position presentation mode
Trails and past position indicators can be displayed as either true or relative to own ship.
Trails and past position indicators are available in both sea and ground stabilization modes.
See "Selecting speed source" on page 20.
Target trails
A target trail indicates the target movement by leaving an afterglow, gradually reducing the
intensity over time.
Target trails show where a target used to be, and the function is useful for quickly assessing
the movement of targets relative to your own vessel.
