Krupp Atlas (continued from page 32) glow trails of other traffic corre- spond to their true motion.

Both RM and TM models pro- vide for the manual acquisition of up to 10 targets as well as semi- automatic plotting with target data readout, including CPA and TCPA, while the 7600 ARPA version E.ISO provides fully automatic tracking facilities. The 8600 ARPA unit provides for manual acquisition of up to 20 targets as well as auto- matic tracking and data readout inclusive of CPA and TCPA. The system which may also be confi- gured for use with integrated nav- igation systems, also permits se- lection of 40 navigation lines as well as storage of up to 80 video maps of 40 elements each.

Fifteen of the new radar series have already been ordered by Fin- nish, Norwegian, and West Ger- man shipowners.

Los Angeles, CA 90009-2151 213/532-5300 ...the marine radio people satellite system from Marisat, the trend has been for manufacturers to concentrate on applications far beyond the straightforward use of telephone and telex. Magnavox

Advanced Products and Systems

Company of Torrence, Calif., is a leader in this trend.

Current examples of the tech- nology now available as options of the Magnavox MX 211A SatCom involve several types of vessel monitoring systems (VMS). The most common VMS is the shore polling type, which allows the sen- sor data of a vessel to be moni- tored from shore without ship- board assistance. The ship's position, heading, speed, and fuel status can be retrieved from mul- tiple off-site locations.

Other types of VMS available from the Magnavox SatCom sys- tem include automatic vessel mon- itoring, which uses predetermined schedules for frequent updates of sensor data transmission by telex or voice channels, and multiple vessel sensor monitoring. The lat- ter option can, for example, re- ceive both navigation data and en- gine status independently, using a dual-port VMS system with sepa- rate polling and buffers capable of storing up to 2,000 characters each.

Micrologic of Chatsworth, Calif., has introduced the ML-5500 sub- mersion-proof Loran C Navigator to its product line. Submersible and compact, the unit can be in- stalled where it is needed—even on the smallest vessel. It can be made portable with one option, so it can be used without a perma- nent installation.

The ML-5500 features a dual 8- digit, V2-inch LCD display. A color- coded, snap-action keyboard with embossed borders simplifies input entries. The display and keyboard are lighted for night operation.

Standard features include eight automatic functions: chain and secondary selection; acquisition of master and up to five secondaries; magnetic variation; ASF (land mass) correction; sequencing for 59 waypoints; route following for 50 legs, nine routes; envelope cal- ibration; and computer memory test.

In addition, the ML-5500 has

TD to LL and LL to TD conver- sion; a yacht racing timer; way- point arrival, anchor watch, and cross track error alarms; four notch filters; range/bearing for 59 way- points; cross track error/time-to- go; speed over the bottom/course made good; elapsed distance; two- point range and bearing, and much more.

Made portable with an optional rechargeable battery pack, the ML- 5500 can be used with a perma- nently fixed antenna or optional telescopic antenna. 34 Circle 179 on Reader Service Card Circle 319 on Reader Service Card Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
