-
Real-time radar image overlay.
-
Highest resolution marine radar display in the world.
-
Stand alone radar display window (without underlayed
chart).
-
8 bit 1024 by 1024 radar image. The high dynamic range
display offers superior target definition (similar to that offered in
old-style phosphor PPI Plan Position Indicator displays) and high
fidelity representation of the fine detail in coastlines.
-
Radar image controls.
-
Range, gain and threshold controls.
-
Image can be made opaque or translucent.
-
Radar image can be colored green, red, amber or grey.
-
Pulse Length - radar pulse length can be set, depending
on the radar antenna.
-
Scan Averaging - The scan average processor can average
up to 16 consecutive radar scans under operator control and is designed
for enhanced detection of slow moving targets and obstacles. Scan
averaging dramatically reduces sea clutter interference.
-
Pulse Filtering - The pulse filter is designed to
improve target signal to noise ratio and suppress radar interference and
rain clutter.
-
CFAR (Constant False Alarm Rate) - The CFAR processor
removes sea and rain clutter from the radar screen for a clear view of
targets. The goal of CFAR is to remove the range dependence and local
clutter background of the radar image and make the probability of a
detection (typically measured by a target being brighter than a fixed
threshold) equal for all parts of the image.
-
STC
(Sensitivity Time Control) operates as a range dependent gain control.
It reduces the gain at close range (where maximum sensitivity is not
generally required), allowing more gain to be applied to data from
farther ranges where more sensitivity is desired. This increases the
detectability of small targets at longer ranges.
-
Image Rotation - Radar image can be rotated on the fly
to allow fine tuning.
-
Radar Layer - Radar overlay can be placed at different
layers on the display (ex, over chart, under navigational elements or over
chart and navigational elements but below OwnShip icon).
-
Auto range adjustment - Sets radar range on the fly to
fill current level of zoom.
