2.3.7.2 Display and Selection of VECTOR and PAST POSITION Information
This information area allows the operator to select TRUE or RELATIVE
VECTORS. True vectors show true course and speed of the target and your
own ship. Relative vectors show the target’s relative motion compared to your
own ship. Your own ship does not have a relative vector. The vector length
displayed is determined by the selected time and indicates the distance to be
travelled at a given speed.
First of all, the desired targets need to be acquired on the Radar video (chapter
2.5.3.1).

Task
VECTOR (REL or TRU)
By selecting this function, you can define the vector time
of the acquired targets, defined by indicating the target
vector length derived from the target speed; this can be
continuously adjusted between 0.0 and 30.0 min.
