21.6 Target tracking
The Guard Zone , VRM/EBL and MARPA functions
will help you track targets and avoid collisions.
With a radar connected to your multifunction display,
you can:
• Assess how far away a target is and its bearing
(VRM/EBL).
• Set an alarm to trigger when a target is within a
specified zone (Guard Zone).
• Display detailed information on tracked targets
(MARPA).
• Display the range and bearing of a target.

MARPA overview
MARPA is used for target tracking and risk analysis
in the radar application.
With an accurate heading sensor connected to
your multifunction display, you can use the Mini
Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) functions for
target tracking and risk analysis. MARPA improves
collision avoidance by calculating information for
tracked targets, and provides continuous, accurate,
and rapid situation evaluation. The number of targets
that you can track at any one time is dependent on
the model of radar scanner that you are using.
MARPA tracks acquired targets, and calculates the
target's speed and course.
Each target tracked can be displayed with a graphic
indicating the Closest Point of Approach (CPA), and
Time to Closest Point of Approach (TCPA). The
calculated target data can also be shown on your
screen. Each target is continually assessed and
an audible alarm is sounded if a target becomes
dangerous, or is lost.
For effective MARPA operation, your multifunction
display must have accurate heading and speed data
for your vessel. The better the quality of the heading
and speed data, the better MARPA will perform. For
the best heading data, a Raymarine SMART heading
sensor or a gyro-stabilized autopilot is required.
In True Motion mode, Speed Over Ground (SOG)
and Course Over Ground (COG) information is
required to show true target course and speed.
In Relative Motion mode, heading and speed
information is required.
