Extract

The paper, an edited and shortened version of the original, discusses a new approach to the display of collision threat parameter areas, obtained as a result of theoretical considerations. It can be applied to radar-computer anti-collision systems as well as manual radar plots.

With the development of digital techniques, and electronic digital computers in particular, radar-computer anti-collision systems are now aboard ships. Digital processing of signals and data in such systems can be divided into three stages as follows:

(a) Primary processing, which includes an analysis of radar signals within one rotation of the radar antenna. A result of this processing would be the position coordinates of detected objects. For relatively simple algorithms and high speed of analysis, special devices are usually employed.

(b) A secondary processing, which includes a correlation of the information obtained in the primary processing stage; the objects' position coordinates in consecutive antenna rotations; and an estimate of position, motion and approach parameters. For secondary processing devices general-purpose mini- and microcomputers are usually applied.

(c) A graphical display of the calculation.
