Additional performance standards

  3 In addition to meeting the basic requirements set out in paragraphs 1 and 2, simulation equipment to which this section applies shall meet the performance standards given hereunder in accordance with their specific type.

Radar simulation

4 Radar simulation equipment shall be capable of simulating the operational capabilities of navigational radar equipment which meets all applicable performance standards adopted by the Organizationfootnote and incorporate facilities to:

  • .1 operate in the stabilized relative-motion mode and sea- and ground-stabilized true-motion modes;

  • .2 model weather, tidal streams, current, shadow sectors, spurious echoes and other propagation effects, and generate coastlines, navigational buoys and search and rescue transponders; and

  • .3 create a real-time operating environment incorporating at least two own-ship stations with ability to change own ship’s course and speed, and include parameters for at least 20 target ships and appropriate communication facilities.

Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (ARPA) simulation

5 ARPA simulation equipment shall be capable of simulating the operational capabilities of ARPAs which meet all applicable performance standards adopted by the Organizationfootnote, and shall incorporate the facilities for:

  • .1 manual and automatic target acquisition;

  • .2 past track information;

  • .3 use of exclusion areas;

  • .4 vector/graphic time-scale and data display; and

  • .5 trial manoeuvres.
