Multi radar images and multi target association (optional) 

 
The multi radar image and multi target association is optional functionality.  

 
Combining radar information in a Multi radar display is 
useful, as soon as radar scanners with different blanking 
areas are combined to guarantee a complete round 
vision.  
The user can manually select each single radar sensor for 
display and also a combination of radar images in a 
layered manner one above another. 
Radar images in a higher layer are drawn over radar 
images in a lower layer. The layering order can be 
changed by the operator at any time.  
The images are not mixed, so control and radar filters are 
still available separately for each radar source.  
Tracked targets are provided from a multi target 
association process (Multi Target Manager) which does 

association between multiple TT sources of the different radars and AIS. This module enhances the 
association concept between a single TT and an AIS-TGT to associate between multiple TT and AIS. 
The process of target association requires rules to be taken into account for TT interpretation (see chapter 

3.6.19

 to 

3.6.20.1

)
