Trial Maneuver

The trial maneuver feature simulates the effect of own ship's movement against all tracked targets, without
interrupting the updating of target information. It is available for use with the TT and AIS functions. For more
accurate results, use relative motion and sea stabilization (ground tracking).

Types of trial maneuvers

There are two types of trial maneuvers: static and dynamic.
Dynamic trial maneuver
A dynamic trial maneuver displays predicted positions of the tracked targets and own ship. You enter own ship's
intended speed and course with a certain "delay time." Assuming that all tracked targets maintain their present
speeds and courses, the targets' and own ship's future movements are simulated in one-second increments indicating
their predicted positions in 30-second intervals as illustrated below.
The delay time represents the time lag from the present time to the time when own ship will actually start to change
her speed and/or course. You should therefore take into consideration own ship's maneuvering characteristics such
as rudder delay, turning delay and acceleration delay. This is particularly important on large vessels. How much the
delay is set the situation starts immediately and ends in a minute.
In the example shown below, own ship will advance straight ahead (even after a maneuver) for a delay time of 2:30
and alters speed and course until operator-specified intended speed and course are achieved (position OS7 in this
example).
