What is MARPA?
Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) functions are used for target tracking and risk analysis. MARPA
improves your standards of collision avoidance by obtaining detailed information for up to 10 targets, and provides
continuous and rapid situation evaluation.
MARPA tracks the selected targets and calculates target bearing, range, true speed, course, Closest Point of
Approach (CPA), and Time to Closest Point of Approach (TCPA). Each tracked target can be displayed with a CPA
graphic depicting the approximate target speed (vector length) and course (vector direction). Alternatively, move
the cursor over the target to display the range and CPA. You can now access bearing and speed. Each target is
continually assessed. An alarm sounds if a target becomes dangerous or lost.
NOTE: For MARPA to operate, fast heading data is required.
