pictures and a comprehensive range of
selectable functions, warnings and target
information.
The monitor, electronics and interfacing are all
contained in a single display which can be
desk or pedestal mounted.

Plotting
The ARPA allows up to 50 targets (20 in the
ATA display) to be plotted on-screen. Target
information including bearing, range, course,
speed, BCR, BCT, TCPA, CPA and latitude and
longitude is displayed. Selected data on up to
six targets may be displayed in a Tote window.

Acquisition Modes
Measurements Targets can be automatically acquired by three
means:
1 Guard zones: Two zones are available, one
pre-set in range, the other variable – both
are variable in bearing. Targets are acquired
as they transit the zone.
2 Footprint Acquisition Zone (FAZ): A fully
variable, self-designated area around the
vessel that will acquire all targets within
the area.
3 Zone Acquisition: Fourteen inclusion or
exclusion sectors are available.

AIS Compatible
Up to 50 relevant AIS targets can be selected
in menu.
AIS
 Nucleus 3 advanced technology – the key to greater bridge performance
and improved navigational accuracy, increasing both operating efficiency
and safety levels, under the harshest operating conditions

Measurements
On-screen measurements can be done with 2
EBLs (EBLs and VRMs may be operated
independently or together), tape measure
(point to point) and cursor.

Curved Heading Line

The Curved Heading Line is designed to
predict the ship’s future track and is featured
as standard on Nucleus 3 displays.

Standby and Installation

Screens

test procedures reduce the need for internal
access.

6 x 6 Interswitching
Allows up to 6 transceivers to be interswitched
with up to 6 displays or ECDIS.

Mapping Facilities
The displays are capable of producing on-
screen maps. The maps may be constructed
from 4 line types and 16 IMO symbols in a wide
range of colour variations.
Interfaces
Bi-directional, individually assigned serial
interfaces are standard. Nucleus 3 is ready to
connect to VDR and is AIS compatible to meet ERGOPod

Transmitters and Receivers
A comprehensive range of up and down mast
Transmitters and Receivers with CAN Bus
transmitter control is available with S and X
band antennas.

ERGO Pod
Where applicable left and/or right ERGO pods
can be fitted to the arms of the operator’s
chair. This can take the place of or be used in
conjunction with the trackerball fitted to the
display. The ERGO pod has additional buttons
for direct control of Range and Sea Clutter.

Mapping Display Variants
