Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is ARPA radar?
ARPA (Automatic Radar Plotting Aid) radar automatically tracks and plots nearby vessels and obstacles to aid navigation and collision avoidance.
2. What are the differences between X-band and S-band ARPA radars?
X-band radars provide higher resolution at shorter ranges, while S-band radars excel in long-range detection and perform better in adverse weather.
3. How does solid-state ARPA radar improve performance?
Solid-state radars offer better reliability, lower maintenance, and enhanced target resolution using pulse compression technology.
4. Can ARPA radars integrate with ECDIS?
Yes, ARPA radar data can be interfaced with ECDIS for improved situational awareness and route planning.
5. Is ARPA radar required by regulations?
For many vessel types under SOLAS, ARPA radar is mandatory to enhance navigation safety.
6. What maintenance is needed for ARPA radars?
Regular calibration, software updates, and hardware inspection ensure optimal ARPA performance.
7. Can you upgrade my existing ARPA radar system?
Yes, we provide upgrade services including magnetron replacement with solid-state units and software enhancements.
