NSC Radar Operator Manual 2.3.1 R Raytheon Anschütz GmbH Germany Sensitivity controls NOTE This Radar is an aid to navigation. Its accuracy can be affected by many factors such as equipment defect, environmental conditions, or improper operation. It is the user’s responsibility to exercise common prudence and navigational judgement at all times. 2.3.1.1 Gain and clutter processing The NSC uses a digital video processing technique called Scan to Scan integration or field processing.
Operator Manual 2.3.1.2 TUNE MANual TUNE The tune function uses the trackball to control tuning of the receiver frequency to match that of the transmitter. The tuning should be adjusted on the medium or long range scales (6 Nm or higher) that show radar returns. For a preliminary manual setting: Use the trackball to place the cursor on the TUNE slider then press the Left trackball button. Rotate the trackball for maximum deflection of the slider.
NSC Radar Operator Manual R Raytheon Anschütz GmbH Germany AUTO TUNE (only available in Master mode) When auto tuning is activated, manual tuning is not available. The slider symbol is hidden and the tuning bar color changes to yellow. Auto tune is only available if the NSC radar is working in Master mode. NOTE With automatic receiver adjustment, the tendency indicator adjusts itself to the maximum value.
Operator Manual 2.3.1.4 SEA The Sea control is used to suppress radar returns which are the result of radar signals reflected from waves. This effect is commonly known as sea clutter. The effects of sea clutter are greater (more reflected energy) at close range and vary with wave height and wind. It should also be noted that sea clutter is reduced on the leeward side of the ship as the retreating wave fronts do not provide as many radar returns as oncoming waves. Small targets (buoys, etc.
NSC Radar Operator Manual R Raytheon Anschütz GmbH Germany In heavy wind driven seas where more sea clutter appears on the windward side of the ship, a slight amount of FTC can balance the clutter (chapter 2.3.1.7) Before adjusting the SEA control. If too much SEA is applied during periods of light clutter, then a band of noise could appear on the edges of the sea clutter. 2.3.1.
Operator Manual 2.3.1.6 Automatic Clutter reduction Step 1 When AUTO is activated, the slider symbols for SEA, RAIN and FTC are hidden and the bar color changes to yellow. This AUTO mode describes a control algorithm, which uses the evaluation of echoes to calculate statistical average values for SEA, RAIN. These average values are used for optimization of the radar video. Adjust the GAIN Slider to control the sensitivity of the Radar. NOTE Use of AUTO simplifies radar video optimization.
NSC Radar Operator Manual 2.3.1.7 R Raytheon Anschütz GmbH Germany Filtering rain clouds FTC Step 2 Step 1 FTC is responsible for differentiation or removing the mean clutter level of rain clouds. Adjusting the FTC will also reduce the land echoes and thin out larger targets in range. Procedure: Step 1 Select FTC Advance the FTC control slowly (remember the 3 scans) until only the leading edges of the rain clutter are visible. As the FTC is increased, weaker returns will reappear.
Operator Manual The maximum detectable distance to a ship will normally be about 10 Nm or approximately 30 Nm to a helicopter, depending on the helicopter’s altitude. The transponder will not give any alarms further away than this. How is this situation displayed on the NSC Radar? This situation appears automatically in the radar video. The echo display in the radar video depends on the distance of the transponder from your own ship and can be interpreted as follows. Figure: 2--20 SART transponder < 0.

Operator Manual 2.3.1.9 Pulse width selection The pulse width toggle field allows selection of the desired transmitter pulse width for the current range scale selected. If there is no pulse width toggle field, this indicates that it is not available for the range currently being used (Figure: 2--23). Selecting this toggle field allows the pulse length to be switched e.g. from short pulse to medium pulse and vice versa to optimize target discrimination with respect to the selected range.

Operator Manual 3.2 RADAR PATTERN INTERPRETATION The radar displays a chart--like picture (PPI) on TFT under normal conditions. Under certain conditions, however, various false echoes are generated, and small targets are hidden by rain, snow or sea waves. To correctly interpret targets and patterns which appears on the TFT requires considerable experience. Compare patterns that appear on the radar image to the actual topography to acquire experience as far as possible. 3.2.
NSC Radar Operator Manual 3.2.1.1 R Raytheon Anschütz GmbH Germany Sea Clutter, Rain Clutter The radar wave is reflected by waves, clouds, rain and snow. This is then displayed as a bright noise which clutters the Radar Video and may hide targets When this happens, adjust GAIN, SEA (sea clutter), RAIN (rain and snow clutter) controls to assist in the detection of targets easily. Then adjust FTC. Take note that ordinary visible targets cannot be seen in heavy rain and snow (Figure: 3--4).
Operator Manual 3.2.1.2 Interference Effect Under certain conditions (e.g. if the interference is nearly synchronous with the own transmit pulse), the transmitted electromagnetic waves of radar systems from other ships can lead to interferences with own radar. In that unlikely case slowly moving spotters or spirals can be observed on the PPI. The radar processing removes these interferences automatically if IR ON is activated (see Figure: 3--5).
R NSC Radar Operator Manual 3.2.1.3 Raytheon Anschütz GmbH Germany Side Lobe Effect In short ranges, not only the main lobe of the radar is reflected by ships nearby but in some cases also the side lobes are reflected. This leads to false echoes, which are all at same distance, but different bearings.
Operator Manual 3.2.1.4 Second trace false echo The second trace false echo appears when the signal is received at the next pulse repetition period after it was reflected by a high mountain or similar object in long distance. Therefore, the position in which it appears is identified by subtracting distance corresponding to the pulse repetition interval from the actual distance.
R NSC Radar Raytheon Anschütz GmbH Germany Operator Manual It often appears that the radio wave propagation is abnormal (duct effect), when the object is a very large mountain. If the signal reception level, however, is small and the transmitted pulse intervals are slightly changed, then a long cloudy form echo appears as shown in the figure, and can easily be identified. If it is difficult to identify, reduce the receiver gain (GAIN) slightly. In rare cases, the guard ring alarm goes off.
Operator Manual 3.2.1.5 Abnormal Atmospheric Conditions Under certain abnormal atmospheric conditions, the radar wave can be reflected at higher layers in the atmosphere. This leads to wrong measurements in long distances. invisible Range visible Range Atmosphere Figure: 3--9 Atmospheric Condition 3749DOC020102 3--12 Edition: 22.JAN.

In TRUE vector mode, tracked targets which are standing still (such as target 3) do not display a vector.
Operator Manual 3.3.2 Relative Vector Mode (Figure: 3--11) Relative vector mode shows how targets move in relation to own. All ships that have relative vectors pointing to my own ship are dangerous targets. Ship’s heading marker 2 3 1 Figure: 3--11 Relative Vector Mode When the same situation is displayed in RELATIVE vector mode, target 1 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.
NSC Radar Operator Manual 3.4 R Raytheon Anschütz GmbH Germany AUTOMATIC RADAR PLOTTING AID (ARPA) The purpose of an Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (ARPA) is to interpret radar information continuously and to display the results so that watch officers may quickly assess and react to potential danger. The performance specfication of the International Maritim Organization (IMO) requires the ARPA plotting reliability to be as good as manual plotting techniques.
Operator Manual 3.4.1 Sensor Errors The performance of ARPA depends on the quality of the sensor information which is processed. The radar is the sensor which measures target range and bearing relative to own ship. The gyro compass measures the heading of the own ship ship relative to north. The speed log measures the motion of ship own relative to the water or bottom. 3.4.1.1 Gyro Compass A precise Gyro Compass heading is an important condition for accurate target tracking and ARPA information.
NSC Radar Operator Manual 3.4.1.3 R Raytheon Anschütz GmbH Germany Plotting Plotting is started by positioning the trackball cursor over the desired target echo. When the softbutton is pressed the radar aquires the target. When a target becomes too weak or too large and is identified by the ARPA as a LOST TARGET, two options are available: (1) CANCEL Option: As a warning, a flashing symbol marks the last position of the target. The ARPA attempts the target by increasing the window size.
Operator Manual To determine accurate ARPA results, a number of past positions have to be recorded. After acquiring a close target, the processor takes about a minute to record enough position data to get a good, accurate speed. More time could be required for targets more than eight miles away. NOTE For accurate target data, accurate own ship’s course and speed are required, particularly during course changes. Sensor errors in own ships course and speed will cause equal errors in target data.
NSC Radar Operator Manual 3.4.2 R Raytheon Anschütz GmbH Germany Collision Assessment (Surveillance) Once the true velocities of own ship and targets are established (within one minute of acquisition), it is valid to interpret displayed information for collision assessment. TRUE and RELATIVE VECTORS are available to present target velocities. The NSC provides two additional surveillance features to aid in rapid assessment of collisions potential in congested situations.
Operator Manual CPA symbols will be displayed if: 3749DOC020102 (1) the operator selects the CPA/PCP display button on the collisions assessment menu page and (2) RELATIVE vector mode is selected and (3) the CPA symbols are located within the bearing scale and (4) display is stabilized and (5) symbol display state is ON and (6) “ARPA DATA” display state is ON 3--20 Edition: 22.JAN.
NSC Radar Operator Manual 3.5 R Raytheon Anschütz GmbH Germany KEEP THE FOLLOWING POINTS IN MIND WHEN OPERATING THE NSC: • Radar Video The radar video display area is updated from a memory. The memory is updated as the antenna scans. The radar picture is signal processed from previous scan of the antenna. This process is called scan--to scan correlation. Three scans are required to integrate a target to full brightness.
Operator Manual and gyro information is used to stabilize the radar display. Use the Sea and Rain controls to suppress clutter and leave targets at a bright level. 3749DOC020102 3--22 Edition: 22.JAN.
NSC Radar Operator Manual 3.6 R Raytheon Anschütz GmbH Germany THE INTERSWITCH FUNCTION The Interswitch Unit is a separate, optional unit placed nearby the NSC Radar. The following example (Figure: 3--12) illustrates the interswitch functionality. The ships radar system has four radar scanner (antennas) and two radar displays. Using an Interswitch Unit, any radar display can control or view any radar scanner (Figure: 3--12).
