COLLISION AVOIDANCE AND ANTI-GROUNDING SYSTEM FOR MODERN SHIPS

The Sperry Collision Avoidance System, introduced approximately 18 months ago, provides the optimum solution to the problems of both collision and grounding. Superimposed on normal radar video are synthetic displays of earth-reference areas of danger which own ship must avoid in order to eliminate the risk of collision. In addition, when the ship approaches a port area, or any area of restricted maneuvering, the shoal lines and navigation marks may be superimposed on the display permitting simple and continuous assessment of own ships position with respect to the desired course and position.
