RADARPILOT / CHARTRADAR
1 Overview
Subjects of this Section:
ā Brief overview of the parts of the system
ā Optional parts and functions
The radar system can be configured in two main versions:
- the basic version, called RADARPILOT ATLAS 1000
- an expanded version, called CHARTRADAR ATLAS 1000 (or MULTIPILOT ATLAS 1000, see
Section 1.3) which, in addition, offers the possibility to display selected parts of the Electronic Chart
on the radar screen in an alternative display mode.
Both versions are approved according to the published radar performance standards.
1.1 RADARPILOT ATLAS 1000
From the components of the RADARPILOT, it is possible to assemble radar sets and radar systems for
all types of ship.
In a RADARPILOT System, the following components can be combined with each other in any desired
manner:
- X-Band or S-Band transceiver and antenna
- Electronics Units with manual (EPA) or automatic (ARPA) plotting aids.
- 12" or 16" indicators
- Radar indicators as console versions or desk-top versions
The scope ranges from single systems to multiple systems consisting of five transceivers and five indica-
tors.
Not only the system configuration but also the manner of use is extremely flexible: with just a few oper-
ating steps, each radar indicator can be switched to act as the master indicator of any desired transceiver
or as a slave for any transceiver that is operating (interswitch function).
ā On the master indicator, all functions of the radar can be operated, i.e. both on the transmitter side
and on the receiver side. On the slave
indicator, most functions on the reception side can be set
independently of the master.
All radar sets are suitable for high speed craft (HSCās) too (if the antenna gearboxes are chosen appro-
priately), and on ships with normal speed they can be operated
at twice the antenna rotation rate if this
is required by the situation.
1.2 CHARTRADAR ATLAS 1000
The CHARTRADAR consists of the same components as those of the RADARPILOT, and also has all
the characteristics of the RADARPILOT. In addition, it offers the possibility that the vector charts which
exist in the CHARTPILOT can be displayed on the radar.

From the point of view of approval, the CHARTRADAR can be configured at service level in such a way that it fulfils the regulation IEC
60936-1, "Shipborne Radar" or the regulation IEC 60963-3, "Radar with Chart Functions". In the latter case, there are limitations in the
display of the chart - see footnotes on page 30 and page 43.
