9.1 Radar overview Radar is used to provide information that can help you to track targets and measure distances and bearings. Radio Detection And Ranging (RADAR) is used at sea to detect the presence of objects (known as ‘targets’) at a distance, and if they are moving, detect their speed. Radar works by transmitting radio pulses, then detecting reflections of these pulses (echoes) from objects in the area and displaying the reflections as targets on your display.
radar targets. At radar ranges of greater than 3 nm the display switches the radar speed to 24 RPM. 9.3 Radar scanner status symbols The radar scanner power mode status is indicated in the databar. Symbol Using radar Radar power mode Description Transmit (TX) Rotating icon, signifying that the scanner is on and transmitting. When SCANNER is set to ON, select this mode to activate the scanner. This is the usual mode of operation.
Powering the radar scanner on and off In the radar application: 1. Press the POWER button on your multifunction display. 2. Using the relevant softkeys, select the operating mode for the radar scanner. 9.4 Radar range and image quality Maximum radar range The usable range of the radar is limited by factors such as the height of the scanner, and height of the target.
Radar image quality Main lobe A number of factors can affect the quality of a radar image, including echoes, sea clutter, and other interference. Side lobe Not all radar echoes are produced by valid targets. Spurious echoes may be caused by: Side lobe Antenna • Side lobes. • Indirect echoes. • Multiple echoes. • Blind sectors. Through observation, practice, and experience, you can generally detect these conditions very quickly and use the radar controls to minimize them.
Multiple Echoes Multiple echoes are not very common but can occur if there is a large target with a wide vertical surface at a comparatively short range. The transmitted signal will be reflected back and forth between the target and your own ship, resulting in multiple echoes, displayed beyond the range of the true target echo, but on the same bearing.
Interference 9.5 Radar display overview When two or more radar-equipped vessels are operating within range of each other mutual radar interference can occur. This usually appears as a spiral of small dots from the display centre This type of interference is most noticeable at long ranges. With your radar scanner connected and the radar in transmit mode, the radar picture provides a map-like representation of the area in which the radar is operating.
Item Description 6 Ship’s Heading Marker (SHM) 7 Ship’s position 8 Motion Mode 9 Radar scanner status 10 Waypoint 11 Range ring spacing Typically, your vessel’s position is at the center of the display, and its dead ahead bearing is indicated by a vertical heading line, known as the Ship’s Heading Marker (SHM). On-screen targets may be large, small, bright or faint, depending on the size of the object, its orientation and surface.
9.6 Dual range radar operation Dual range radar compatibility The Dual Range radar function enables you to view 2 ranges at the same time in separate windows. The function is only available with HD and SuperHD radar scanners. The range covered by the short Dual Range option depends on the radar scanner you are using, and the software version it is using.

10.1 AIS overview The AIS feature enables you to receive certain information broadcast by other vessels, and add them as a target in the Chart and Radar applications. With an optonal AIS receiver connected to your multifunction display, you can: • Display targets for any other AIS-equipped vessels. • Display voyage information being broadcasted by these targets, such as their position, course, speed and rate of turn. Vectors can be displayed for each target.
Note: Incoming safety messages cannot be displayed while the simulator is switched on. 10.2 AIS prerequisites You must have suitable AIS hardware connected to your multifunction display to make use of the AIS functionality. In order to run AIS, you will need: • A receive-only AIS unit or a full AIS transceiver (a unit that sends and receives). • A VHF antenna - this is usually supplied with the AIS system. • A GPS - to provide position data.
10.3 Classes of AIS data There are two classes of AIS data; each class supports a different range of AIS data. AIS data is defined as Class A or Class B. The sending and receiving of Class A data is compulsory for larger vessels. You will therefore be able to view all larger vessels on your AIS display. Class B data is applicable to smaller vessels and is not compulsory. You should not therefore assume that your AIS is displaying all smaller vessels in your area.
10.4 Enabling AIS 10.5 Displaying AIS vectors Enabling AIS in the chart application You must have the correct data available before AIS vectors can be displayed. In the 2D chart view: A target is defined as active when it has the following data displayed graphically: 1. Select the 2D CHART LAYERS softkey. 2.
