same place even while the own ship is turning.
1Open Parallel Cursor - Bearing Fix .
Angle Fix : The angle of the parallel cursors is set in true bearing.
For N Up and C Up, the cursors are displayed in true bearing
irrespective of changes in the course of own ship.
For H Up, the angle of the parallel cursors changes as the course
of own ship changes.
Screen Fix : Fixes the parallel cursor display to the radar display.
For H Up, N Up, and C Up, the angle of the parallel cursors stays
the same on the screen.
When own ship is engaged in TM motions, the parallel cursors
move as own ship moves.
Heading Fix : The parallel cursors are displayed while the relative angle of the
ship's heading bearing line stays the same.
For H Up, the ship's heading bearing line does not change even
though the course of own ship changes; therefore, the parallel
cursors do not move.
For N Up, the ship's heading bearing line changes as the course of
own ship changes; therefore, the parallel cursors also change as
the course of own ship changes.

z AUTO STC/FTC (Automatic clutter suppression)
yDetects unwanted waves such as rain/snow clutter and sea clutter and automatically
suppresses them.
yWhen the sea state or weather changes, this function automatically performs
suppression processing in accordance with the situation.
ySuppression processing is not full automatic, and requires the operator to control the
afterimages of unwanted waves.
yTo control the afterimage of sea clutter, use the [SEA] control.
yTo control the afterimage of rain/snow clutter, use the [RAIN] control.
yIn areas where the density of unwanted waves is low, unwanted waves may remain
being judged as targets. Thus, use the automatic clutter suppression mode together
with the video process mode.
yCharacteristics of the automatic clutter suppression function:
Off: Disables the automatic clutter suppression function.
Select "Off" when rain/snow clutter and sea clutter are not strong
or when the ship is in a bay.
AUTO STC: Automatically detects the strength of sea clutter, and performs the
most suitable sea clutter suppression processing.
Even when the strength of sea clutter varies depending on the wind
direction, AUTO STC performs the most suitable suppression
processing.
Land like islands can be displayed naturally.
Since rain clouds outside sea clutter areas are recognized as land,
there is no effect of suppressing rain/snow clutter.
Use the [RAIN] control to set the rain/snow clutter suppression
function.
AUTO FTC: Along with AUTO STC, this function automatically detects the
strength of rain/snow clutter, and performs the most suitable

2.15.1 COLLISION AVOIDANCE
Problems of Collision Avoidance in Navigation
Marine collision avoidance is one of the problems that have been recognized from of old.
Now, it will be described briefly who the collision avoidance is positioned among the
navigational aid problems.
The navigation pattern of all mobile craft constitutes a system with some closed loops
regardless of the media through which the mobile craft travels, whether air, water, the
boundary between air and water, or space. This pattern consists of two closed loops in
principle, one of which is a collision with another mobile craft and the other is a loop of
finding a right and safe way to reach a predeterminate destination.
Fig. 2.15-1 shows the conceptual diagram of navigation pattern by MR. E.W. Anderson.
The closed loop of collision avoidance is shown on the left side and the closed loop of
finding a right course on the right side.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Marine Accidents and Collisions
Among marine accidents, collision accidents have been highlighted as the tonnages and
speeds of ships become higher along with the increase in traffic at sea.
If a tanker carrying dangerous articles such as crude oil collides with any other vessel,
then not only the vessels involved with the accident but other vessels in the vicinity, port
facilities, inhabitants in the coastal area as well as marine resources may also suffer
immeasurable damages and troubles.
Collision accidents have a high percentage of the marine accidents that have occurred in
recent years. To cope with these problems, any effective measures are needed and some
equipment to achieve collision avoidance requirements have been developed at rapid strides.
Basic Concept of Collision Avoidance
There are two aspects in collision avoidance: collision prediction and avoidance.
Collision prediction is to predict that two or more vessels will happen to occupy the
same point at the same time, while collision avoidance is to maneuver vessels not to
occupy the same point at the same time.
In practical operation of vessels, a spot of collision has to be deemed to be a single point
but a closed zone. This closed zone is conceptually defined as a CPA (Closest Point of
Approach).In collision prediction, the time to be taken until a ship reaches the CPA is
defined as a TCPA (Time to CPA). Fig. 2.15-2 shows a diagram called "Collision
Triangle".

Chapter 2
OPERATIONS
2.15
SETTING TT/AIS
2-122
Relative Vector and True Vector
From two points of view, collision prediction and avoidance, it is necessary to obtain the
relative vector of other ship for prediction and the true vector of other ship for collision
avoidance in order to grasp other ship's aspect.
The relationship between the relative vector and true vector is shown in Fig. 2.15-3.
Furthermore, the meanings of both vectors are described.
Both rough CPA and TCPA can be obtained easily from the relative speed vector of
other ship. This method has an advantage that the risks of collision with all other ships
within the radar range can be seen at a glance. On the other hand, the course and speed
of other ship can easily be obtained from its true speed vector, enabling other ship's
aspect to be seen at a glance. Thus, the aspects of other ships (transverse, outsail, parallel
run, reverse run, etc. ) as described in the act of prevention of collision at sea can be
readily grasped. If there is a risk of collision with other ship, the operator can determine
which rule to be applied and how to operate own ship.

Radar and Collision Avoidance
Radar is still playing an important roll for collision prevention and positioning.
A plotter is used to further enhance the radar functionality. The plotter is capable of
plotting other positions of other ships in 3 to 6 minute intervals to monitor their
movement. The plots of other ships represent their tracks relative to own ship, and it is
shown whether there is a risk of collision, namely CPA and TCPA can be obtained. This
method using a plotter is fairly effective, but the number of target ship, which are
manually plotted, is limited and it takes several minutes to measure those.
