    The Use of Arpa/Radar Operation in Ecdis and Radar Overlay Function Arpa

    ARPA systems automatically monitor targets detected by radar, plotting their speeds, courses, and vectors to calculate closest points of approach and time to approach. Radar uses radio waves to detect solid objects around a ship, with higher frequency X-band providing sharper images and S-band used in rain or fog. A radar overlay displays a raw radar image over an electronic chart, allowing verification of cartographic data and sensor outputs for precise positioning and revealing any inconsistencies, dramatically improving accuracy, clarity, and safety.

    THE USE OF ARPA/RADAR OPERATION IN ECDIS AND RADAR OVERLAY

    FUNCTION
    ARPA
    Automatic radar plotting aids are essentially utilized to improve the standard of collision
    avoidance at sea. Primarily designed as anti-collision radar.
    The system is able to acquire automatically and constantly monitor number of targets, plot
    their speeds and courses, present these as vectors on the display screen, updated with each
    sweep of the antenna, and calculate their closest points of approach to own ship and the time
    before that will occur.

    RADAR
    Electronic navigation aid using radio waves sent out as a narrow beam to detect solid objects
    around the ship.
    X-band (10 GHz) - higher frequency is used for a sharper image and better resolution
    S-band (3GHz the S-band is used especially when in rain or fog as well as for identification and
    tracking.

    RADAR OVERLAY
    (A raw radar image overlaid on an electronic chart) is the best means of verifying cartographic
    data and the output of navigation sensors.
    Confirmation of precise positioning relative to the chart, clearly reveals any inconsistencies, A
    dramatic improvement in accuracy and clarity and therefore in safety.
