Shifting Away from Obstacles
Shifting from keel line
By shifting the scanner position from the keel line to one side of the ship, it is possible to move shadow
zones to the other side which makes it possible to keep clear vision in the bow direction. The distance to
be shifted can be obtained
by calculation depending on the distance from the scanner to obstacles using the
following equation:
Shifting from keel line
Obtaining sufficient dip angle
Raise the scanner position so that there is a sufficient dip angle (available between the line of sight from
the scanner to the obstacle and the horizontal line.) By raising the dip angle above 5 degrees, it is
possible to prevent mid- and long-distance shadow zones. The radar cannot detect objects below the
line of sight.
