OPTIMUM COLLISION AVOIDANCE FOR MERCHANT SHIPS

The paper describes a special combination of high resolution, high accuracy, solid-state radar equipment with a sophisticated computer operated automatic acquisition automatic plot collision avoidance indicator. Technical characteristics and special features that make this equipment particularly suitable for the newer higher speed Merchant Marine vessels are described. A description is given of the separate displaying of high resolution radar and automatic navigational data. Information is also presented concerning application and performance features that make it particularly well suited for service aboard ships.
