Task
The ACQUISITION ZONE is used for automatic target
acquisition and subsequent target tracking.
The target is automatically acquired and tracked.
The ACQUISITION ZONE is
considered to be an essential aid
and information source for
assessing the situation. The
decision as to whether a short-
range situation will develop from
this information must be made by
the navigator himself!
If an acquired target enters this GUARD ZONE, the Radar
outputs a “Guard Zone Alarm”.
The GUARD ZONE and related
target acquisition are only intended
to draw the Radar user attention to
a target. The decision as to
whether a short- range situation will
develop from this information must
be made by the navigator himself!
If the user wants to exclude certain areas from automatic
acquisition, he can create an EXCLUSION ZONE. In this
zone, all Radar returns (video) will be ignored.
Within the exclusion zone, no
targets are acquired and displayed
on the Radar video.
The master and navigator are
responsible for assessing and
considering any possible collision
situations that could result from
this.
