The scope of IMO-mandatory ARPA continues to grow. In the near future, ARPA will be required on all larger vessels. The only variable is when.

Modular Design: Economy without Compromise.

Racal-Decca Master Radar systems can cost less— to buy, to upgrade, to service—because of a modu- lar design that fits several radar applications, not just ARPA systems. Major production economies and service simplicity are the results. And with over 500 radar service locations worldwide, quick effi- cient service helps control operating costs by keep-

Although the "building block" design is new, the Racal-Decca ARPA technology is extensively proven in operation around the world. ARPA 1690 meets or exceeds IMO standards. And collision- avoidance features of the AC module are an instant internal back-up to ARPA capabilities.
