2 OPERATION OF AUTOMATIC TRACKING AID (ATA) ARP-17
2.1 Introduction
The FR-1500 MARK-3 series radar can accommodate an optional ATA (Automatic Tracking Aid)
module complying with IMO MSC.64(67) Annex 4 and IEC 60872-2. With the optional ATA circuit
board (ARP -17) fitted in the display unit, the radar will automatically acquire 10 targets coming into
the acquisition area. Once a target is acquired automatically or manually it is automatically tracked
within 0.2 to 32 nm, whether inside or outside the acquisition area.
Principal specifications
Auto tracking range: 0.1 - 32 nm, irrespective of range scale and acquisition range
Vector length:
0.5 sec., 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 15, 30 min.
Orientation: True velocity or relative velocity
Stabilization: Sea or Ground stabilization
Motion trend: Displayed within 20 scans, full accuracy within 60 scans after acquisition.
Past positions: 10 past positions at intervals of 30 sec, 1, 2, 3 or 6 min.
Alarms: Visual and audible alarms against targets violating CPA/TCPA limits, lost
targets, targets crossing guard zone, system failure and target full status.
