Nobeltec InSight Radar (IR2)
Operations Manual
Target Tracking
The Admiral product has a built in comprehensive target tracking system. Targets
can be acquired one of three ways:
AIS: Automatic Identification System is a system
where vessels can broadcast position,
course, speed, rate of turn and other useful
information. It can be used to educate local
traffic about the traffic conditions. Vessels of
a certain size are required to broadcast the
AIS signals, but anyone can listen. If your
vessel is equipped with an AIS receiver or
transceiver, Nobeltec Admiral picks up the
incoming information and paints the targets
on the chart.
External Radar: Many external radars can acquire targets
using either ARPA or MARPA. Most of
these radars can also broadcast this data
to Nobeltec using the NMEA standard
sentences. When properly connected,
Admiral paints these targets from external
radars.
Point and Click (MARPA): Nobeltec Admiral can be used to easily
acquire and track radar targets. Using the
power of the PC and the mouse cursor,
identifying and tracking targets is easier
than ever.
