ATA (Automatic Tracking Aid) I ATA (Automatic Tracking Aid) By tracking automatically the target chosen by the cursor key, the closest point of approach (CPA) and the time to closest point of approach (TCPA) limit of a own ship and a target are calculated. ATA is the function to tell about to alarm sound, when both CPA and TCPA becomes below a setting value (the ap- proach watch area). -

Page 25: Basic Radar Theory
BASIC RADAR THEORY Radar uses a form of electromagnetic radiation, which like light, can be reflected. Because of this property, some objects may cause false echoes on the screen where in fact no targets actually exist. These echoes may appear if a large vessel, bridge, or tank is in proximity. Operators should be familiar with the ef- fects of these phenomena. -
