The RADAR/ARPA Simulator is modeled on the latest Radar sets fitted on-board ships. It complies with RADAR

performance standards (Section A-1/12) and guidance (Section B-1/12) of the STCW code. It meets IMO

performance standards of MSC resolution A477(xii), A823(xix) for RADAR equipment and MSC resolution A823(ii) for

ARPA equipment. The Radar Simulator can be used to conduct the IMO Model course 1.07 and has been type

approved by the DGS, Government of India for that purpose. Its application include conducting of various

RADAR/ARPA simulator courses for navigators at operational and management level.

The simulator emulates all the functionality found on a modern marine radar as well as providing control over traffic

density, waterways, sea state and weather conditions. The simulator is extremely efficient and cost-effective. The

simulator meets and exceeds existing international requirements including those set forth by STCW ’95 and DNV.

The Radar/ARPA simulator can be used in standalone mode for self-teaching, or in networked mode along with an

Instructor console. Up to 24 trainee workstations can be connected for interactive training.

Components & Scalability

The turnkey solution consists of an integrated, enclosed set consisting of  a high resolution 21 inch color monitor, PC,

electrical equipment, keypad, trackball, etc. in plug and play configuration for easy network connectivity.

It is extremely scalable meaning that a client can start with a desktop solution and grow the simulator into its largest

possible configuration by adding hardware and software as appropriate.

The Radar/ARPA simulator can be connected independently to any other ARI Navigation simulator for interactive

training. A large database of ship models and sailing areas can be chosen from. It is extremely user friendly with all

standard marine radar controls accessible through on-screen menus which can be activated through a keypad or

trackball.
