mountain several miles inland from the coastline. Although the
coastline may be much nearer, it may not appear on the radar
until the vessel is closer to shore.
• Some targets, such as buoys and small boats, can be difficult
to discern, because they do not present a consistent reflecting
surface as they bob and toss about in the waves. Consequently
these echoes tend to fade and brighten, and at times disappear
momentarily.
• Buoys and small boats often resemble each other, but boats can
often be distinguished by their motion.
Note: A GPS receiver and a fast heading sensor are required
for MARPA operation, and to maximize radar/chart overlay
performance.
