Definitions of terms to be used in connection with ARPA performance IMO standards
Heading | means the direction in which the bows of a ship are pointing expressed as an angular displacemement from north. |
Targetʼs predicted Motion |
means a prediction of future target motion based on linear extrapolation from its present motion as determined by past measurements of its range and bearing on the radar. |
Relative Vector | means the predicted movement of a target relative to own ship. |
True Vector |
means the predicted true motion of a target as a result of own ship`s direction and speed input. The true vector may be either displayed with reference to the water or to the ground. |
Acquisition | means the process of selecting a target or targets and initiang their tracking. |
Tracking | means the computer process of observing the sequential changes in the position of a target in order to establish its motion. |
Target Swoop | means a situation in which the incoming radar data for a tracked target becomes incorrectly associated with another tracked target or a non-tracked radar echo. |
Acquisition Area |
means an arena set up by the observer which should automatically acquire a target when it enters such an area. |
History |
means equally time-space past position of a target, which is being tracked. The history may be relative or true. |
Trails |
means tracks displayed by the radar echoes of targets in the form of a synthetic afterglow. The trails may be either relative or true. The true trails may be sea or grounded stabilised. |
