2.6 Zone Management
Automatic plotting means that the Radar can acquire and track maximal 40
targets automatically.
The possible tracking zone of all acquired targets can be 0,25 to 20 NM.
The operator can define acquisition zones.
As soon as a target enters such a zone, it is plotted and tracked by the Radar.
If a sleeping AIS target enters an acquisition zone, the target is activated.
Despite all the advantages of automatic target acquisition, it
may be found:
Certain targets cannot be acquired due to the current
weather conditions.
Targets cannot be acquired due to the set acquisition zone.
Targets cannot be acquired due to their size and material.
The target information is displayed when striking the TGT INFO soft key.
ARPA ZONES in a INS System.
An ARPA ZONE created on a MFC console displays in continuous line and
yellow color (active ARPA ZONE). Targets arriving this ARPA ZONE will be
acquired on this MFC console.
The same ARPA ZONE displays on the other MFC in yellow color and dashed
lines (passive ARPA ZONE). Targets arriving this ARPA ZONE will not be
acquired (chapter 2.6.4).
