Reviews the current Rules of the Road limitations on use of radar and highlights the necessity for new procedures using UHF communications to establish courses of action in sufficient time to avoid collision. Suggested changes in the rules are discussed which could provide improved collision avoidance measures with the emphasis on VHF radio to establish a positive and unambiguous course of action in conjunction with radar information.
