Radar Basics: Integrated Bridge
This course puts radar in the context of other bridge equipment, such as ECDIS, AIS and alert management, which is often combined in integrated bridge systems. The training course has been based on the book “Radar Basics” written by Volker Wenzel and Marcus Wöster.
Navigation
Course Description
In order to support the navigator in his duties and fulfil the SOLAS requirement, Radar is usually integrated with other bridge equipment as part of an integrated bridge system, integrated navigation system or as a multi-function display. The radar picture can also be supplemented with overlays such as routes, charts or user-created maps.
It is therefore crucial for navigators to see radar not as a stand-alone equipment. Instead, they need to be aware of how it interacts with other systems and use all available means for a safe navigation.
Course Objectives
The aim of the course is to see Radar as part of a complete bridge and understand how it can interact with other bridge equipment.
Target Audience
Officers who are looking for an easy-to-follow supplement or refresher to their radar and ARPA courses and anyone requiring knowledge of the general features of radar.
