3.3.2 Relative Vector Mode
Relative vector mode shows how targets move in relation to own ship.
All ships that have relative vectors pointing to my own ship are dangerous
targets.
Figure 3-11 Relative Vector Mode
When the same situation is displayed in RELATIVE vector mode, target 1 is
gradually closing with own ship and it is apparent that target 2 indicates no
threat as long as neither own ship nor target changed their headings.
The stationary target 3 does not move at all. Its relative vector is exactly
opposite to own ship’s vector.
