2 OPERATION OF AUTOMATIC TRACKING AID (ATA) ARP-17

2.1 Introduction

The FR-1500 MARK-3 series radar can accommodate an optional ATA (Automatic Tracking Aid)
module complying with IMO MSC.64(67) Annex 4 and IEC 60872-2. With the optional ATA circuit
board (ARP -17) fitted in the display unit, the radar will automatically acquire 10 targets coming into
the acquisition area. Once a target is acquired automatically or manually it is automatically tracked
within 0.2 to 32 nm, whether inside or outside the acquisition area.
