    Radar uses radio waves to detect objects and their positions. Automatic Radar Plotting Aids (ARPA) takes radar data and calculates tracks, courses, speeds, and closest point of approach of detected objects to determine collision risk and simplify collision avoidance calculations for users. ARPA integrated with marine radar can track multiple objects' motions and warn of potential collisions with other vessels or landmasses.

    BSMT-3 RADAR/ARPA
    ASSIGNMENT NO.1

    QUESTION
    Explain the fundamental operations of radar and Automatic Radar Plotting Aids
    (ARPA).

    ANSWER
    A marine radar with automatic radar plotting aid (ARPA) capability can create
    tracks using radar contacts. The system can calculate the tracked object's course, speed
    and closest point of approach (CPA), thereby knowing if there is a danger of collision
    with the other ship or landmass. ARPA (Automatic Radar Plotting Aid) is a computerized
    additional feature to the Radar. ARPA takes feed of the own ships course and speed,
    and target's course and speed, and calculates the collision avoidance data and simplifies
    the need for the users to calculate the data themselves.
